Rick Santorum, the most religiously conservative candidate in the GOP field and the current front-runner. explained his religious opposition to abortion even in the case of rape or incest, because “in the sense of rape” this is a “gift” of God, albeit “a gift in a very broken way.” Thus, women and girls who are raped and become pregnant should “accept what God has given to you.”

No. God didn’t do this to women and girls, nor authorize someone raping them, and a pregnancy that results from that violence isn’t a gift. Rape or incest is violence and therefore sin, and God is not the author of sin against women. Nor do women have to passively accept violence done against them as “God’s will.” Conservative Christian theology is obviously playing an increasingly large role in the GOP war on women and it is important that this theology be challenged at every turn.
