Sharron Angle
Sharron Angle, a Nevada Republican candidate for U.S. Senate, told conservative radio entertainer Bill Manders that she cannot and will not accept abortion under any circumstances, specifically stating that women who are victims of rape and incest should not be allowed to access an abortion.
From a press release by the Nevada State Democratic Party:
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.
Ask any Christian if his/her God is mighty and I’m sure you’ll soon learn that the Christian God is so powerful that he defies human understanding. I’ve yet to understand why a God with so much power would only be able to accomplish certain tasks through horrific means. Yet, if we are to agree with Angle, this is exactly what we must believe.
But don’t overlook the first answer Angle gives to Manders when asked if there is “any reason at all for an abortion.” Angle says, “Not in my book.”
According to Angle’s book, women who suffer severe pregnancy complications should die instead of accessing abortion services. I guess the woman’s grief-stricken spouse and other children can just have a little faith that God works in mysterious and, at least according to Angle, horrific ways.
