Good God in Butter MI's Tudor Dixon: There is healing in making a rape vicitim have the baby

I guess I must have missed this but how sick is that?

Tudor Dixon, the GOP nominee for Michigan governor, said rape victims and a child born of rape could form a "bond."

She used this argument to explain why she wouldn't back a a 14-year-old rape victim getting an abortion.

"There was healing through that baby," she said in an interview with Fox 2 Detroit.

I betya Tudor Dixon is a good Jesus loving Christian too. I just heard this story this AM
on MSNBC and I was stunned by the cruelty behind her thinking.

BTW Dixon has already tried to blame the media for "taking things out of context."
