Anything. Absolutely anything can be justified as "God's will". But to me it's still fascinating that a guy like Mourdock bases his opposition to an abortion exception for rape on "God's will" yet he agrees there should be an exception for the life of the mother. I can't say for sure how his religion works, but I have to assume that the mother dying would also be God's will; but in that case we can ignore God and intervene. Why does he think it's God's call sometimes and his call in others? I'd really like to hear him explain that to a heathen like me.
