Mourdock's Rape Stance

Editor, Times-Union:
Obama and Joe Donnelly are making a great noise about State Senate candidate Mourdock’s statement regarding God’s will in the matter of abortions for rape victims. The Christian response that Mourdock made was to verify that the creation of life is God’s will. That statement is not inconsistent with the Bible which holds that all life is a blessing from God.
The present laws concerning abortions provided by taxpayer funds already include victims of rape and incest. This allows the Planned Parenthood organization to provide abortions-on-demand for underage girls, single or married women who simply wish to end their pregnancy and professional prostitutes. This facilitates a claim of rape, even months after conception, without having made any initial complaint of an attack.
Planned Parenthood makes 80 percent of its income from abortions. Sonograms are provided only after an applicant has requested an abortion and then only because the law requires that this be shown to an expectant mother. The remaining 20 percent comes from providing birth control devices and assorted information.
Funding abortions is not providing health care – it is funding the destruction of a woman’s child. So many abortions have been performed in this county that the makeup of the population has changed. Infertile couples have resorted to adopting unwanted children from foreign countries while they could have had the opportunity to choose among the unwanted children from foreign countries while they could have had the opportunity to choose among the unwanted children whose natural mothers did not abort their babies. There are many children resulting from attacks who have become viable and productive citizens.
