That's why we make fun of Rick Santorum and other conservatives who dismiss rape. This man was running for president in the primaries, ffs.
He never condoned rape, you jackass. All they've ever said is that in a situation like that they wouldn't want the mother to abort. They would prefer she carry it to term and give it up for adoption.
Don't try to twist their words into what you want to hear in order to justify your own lack of religion to yourself. If you need that reassurance then you must be wracked with doubt on the topic and are overcompensating. These are the same people whose literal translation of the bible requires death for the rapist. That's hardly glorifying him in place of the victim. It is simply holding the innocent life of the child above the feelings and emotions of the mother.
