Mitt Romney's campaign confirmed that he still supports Richard Mourdock and has not asked Mourdock's campaign to pull the ad Romney made in support of his Senate candidacy. "Gov. Romney disagrees with Richard Mourdock, and Mr. Mourdock’s comments do not reflect Gov. Romney’s views," Romney campaign spokeswoman Andrea Saul said in an email. "We disagree on the policy regarding exceptions for rape and incest but still support him." * * * * * Mitt Romney distanced himself from Indiana GOP Senate candidate Richard Mourdock's suggestion that pregnancy resulting from rape is "something God intended." Mourdock made the comment in a debate Tuesday night in defining his opposition to abortion even in cases of rape. "The only exception I have to have an abortion is in the case of the life of the mother," Mourdock said, facing off against Democratic rival Rep. Joe Donnelly. "I struggled with it myself for a long time, but I came to realize life is that gift from God. I think that even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that God intended to happen." The Romney campaign moved swiftly to disavow the remarks. "Romney disagrees with Richard Mourdock's comments, and they do not reflect his views," the Republican presidential nominee's camp said in a statement. Following Tuesday night's debate, Mourdock himself sought to do damage control. "God creates life, and that was my point," Mourdock said in a statement. "God does not want rape, and by no means was I suggesting that He does. Rape is a horrible thing, and for anyone to twist my words otherwise is absurd and sick."
