Bevin is to Kentucky as Mourdock was to Indiana. The beliefs of Richard Mourdock transcended Todd Akin’s, “Women don’t get pregnant from legitimate rape”: “I struggled with it myself for a long time, but I came to realize life is that gift from God. I think that even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that God intended to happen.” He explained himself further, when a reporter asked if he believed God intended women to be raped: “Personally I think that the closer you are to God, the less likely you are to run into something like that,” Mourdock responded. “Some of these women – if they had been more faithful to the Lord, if they had just prayed a little harder – then they wouldn’t have found themselves in that situation.” “I’ve seen marriages break up and friendships drift apart because someone wasn’t right with the Lord. I think the same thing is true in any situation. With Jesus Christ on your side, only good things will come.” He went on to propose a unique anti-rape measure: “And in the case of rape Christ has a specific remedy. Studies have shown that if you pray for at least 20 minutes before any big date, your partner is 93% less likely to rape you.” “Scientists say prayer can create a ‘rape halo’ around a woman’s body which instantly renders a potential rapist impotent. I’m not sure how it works exactly. I think its pheromones.” “So I don’t think God wants a woman to get raped. He offers her a choice. The rape halo is only a prayer away. If she’s too lazy to get on her knees and ask for it, that’s her fault.”
