Governor Christie “completely rejects” comments on rape and abortion made by an Indiana U.S. Senate candidate supported by the popular Republican, the governor’s spokesman said today.

The statement came after Democrats said Christie should call on Republican Richard Mourdock to drop out of the race. Christie is out of state campaigning in Massachusetts and New Hampshire today, but his spokesman, Michael Drewniak, said the governor disagrees with Mourdock’s view that abortion is wrong even in cases of rape.

“Governor Christie has always been clear about his position, and that includes exceptions in cases of rape, incest and life of a mother,” Drewniak said. “He completely rejects Richard Mourdock’s beliefs and views on this issue as expressed in last night’s debate.”

During a televised debate Tuesday night Mourdock said he’s against abortion in all cases.

1. He said that if woman becomes pregnant during a rape..

"...that's something God intended." This is creepy on several levels. One, apparently God speaks directly to Mourdock, as he does to Pat Robertson, James Dobson, Benny Hinn and the Crouch family. Two, apparently God has told these asshats to instruct the rest of us heathens about God's will. Three, the separation of church and state thing. Four, somebody is undoubtedly going to vote for this bunwad. Finally, this clown, along with so many others, is apparently not aware that the Roe vs. Wade decision is the current law, that is to say, abortion is legal.
