HuffPo: Sharron Angle Opposes Abortion Even With Rape, Incest: 'God Has A Plan'

[Scurrilous]

<snip>

"Since winning the Republican nomination in the Nevada Senate race Sharron Angle has drawn attention and controversy for a host of conservative policy prescriptions that seem well outside the political mainstream. Now, a Democratic source has passed along a radio interview she did back in January 2010 that could end up topping the list.

In an segment that has gone unnoticed since it first aired, the Tea Party-backed candidate told the Bill Manders show -- a favorable platform for Republican candidates -- that she opposed abortion even in cases of rape and incest. A pregnancy under those circumstances, she said, was "God's plan."

Here's a transcript of the exchange:

Manders: I, too, am pro life but I'm also pro choice, do you understand what I mean when I say that.

Angle: I'm pro responsible choice. There is choice to abstain choice to do contraception. There are all kind of good choices.

Manders: Is there any reason at all for an abortion?

Angle: Not in my book.

Manders: So, in other words, rape and incest would not be something?

Angle: You know, I'm a Christian and I believe that God has a plan and a purpose for each one of our lives and that he can intercede in all kinds of situations and we need to have a little faith in many things.

1. Not my idea of a kind and loving God.

What kind and loving God would have a 13 year old get pregnant by her father because he has a "plan?"

[RainDog]

the same one that thought it was okay to offer daughters up to rapists?

the bible is a full-on misogynist screed.

[Lars39]

2. Pro-Rapist GOP candidate Sharron Angle should be her new moniker.

[KamaAina]

3. At least she didn't say "relax and enjoy it".

:eyes:

[Sparkly]

4. Rapists are doing God's will...

Oooookey dokey then. :crazy:

[BlueIdaho]

5. Sharron Angle opposes hospitals. "god has a plan."

[ehrnst]

6. Then chemotherapy should be banned. If God's plan is for you to have cancer...

and you should wait for Him to intercede, and have faith.

Right?

[Angry Dragon]

7. I am of the mind

that if her god has a plan and she wants us to live under his/her plan then it is up to her to tell us
all what his plan is and produce that god so we can question him/her on that plan.
If she is unable or refuses to produce that god then she has no business even talking about what her god wants.

8. and these people who insist that god has some kind of cosmic check off book

Don't believe in Santa Claus...

How can that be.

9. Please tell me this is going to cost her votes. -nt

[Solly Mack]

10. Fuck her...sick-minded piece of shit.

[yellowcanine]

11. Getting pregnant by rape or incest is part of "God's Plan"?

[mcar]

16. So maybe abortion is part of God's Plan too

How is it that these fundy nuts get to pick and choose what is part of God's Plan? :eyes:

[MARALE]

17. Exactly!!

+1000

[xultar]

12. So basically she is saying that it was Gods plan for the rape

thus the baby and a plan for it.

What a sick sick sick sick foul woman.

[gateley]

13. Was it God's plan for her to become a fucking idiot? nt

[xultar]

15. You mean Be an idiot. Thus apparently wanting Reid to win

I don't think she became one, she was already an idiot.

[unblock]

14. i guess hitler was part of god's plan, too. hell, i owe my own life to hitler.

seriously, there's no way my parents ever would have met were it not for hitler. my father was born and raised in america; my mother was smuggled out of vienna as a baby. no way my grandparents would have left vienna if the ss hadn't come to clear their building of jews (good thing they were out shopping at the time; still, the landlord evicted them the minute they returned.)

so i owe my life to hitler. but that hardly means i think the holocaust was a good thing, or would thank him in any way for what he did. "god has a plan" is at best a cop-out, at worst a rationalization for anything that happens.


if god really does have a plan, it's for all of us to try our best to do good on this earth. it's not for us to compound harm on harm by forcing rape victims to bear their rapists' progeny. you know, maybe god's plan involves letting women and not the government deciding for themselves.

18. Her mother should have had one.
