You can have one without the other. Getting raped isn't required to get pregnant, and not all rapes result in a pregnancy.
5% of reported rapes result in pregnancy. Thats only of those reported.
Thats also those that progress to the point of actually resulting in implantation and growing. Over half of all pregnancies end in miscarriage and often women never know.
You are trying to separate the two acts, when one is required for the other to occur.
Since we are speaking about only those pregnancies resulting from rape, and you cannot have a pregnancy from a rape without a rape... the two are very closely related.
95% of reported rapes do not, according to your stats, result in viable pregnancies. Ergo, you can have rape without pregnancy. And, I think you'd agree with me, that you can have pregnancies without rape. Obviously, you can't have rape pregnancies without rape, but that wasn't the point at all. Mourdock stated that a pregnancy is a gift from God, even when it occurs from something as heinous as a rape. That was Mourdock's belief. It is not yours. It is not mine.

Regardless of how many women believe the way you do (and, for the record, I can't imagine being able to see a gift from God in a rape pregnancy if it occurred to any of the women in my life), it doesn't matter. Neither you, nor I, get to decide for a woman who got pregnant from being raped. There could be zero women who think a pregnancy that resulted from a rape was a gift from God. It is still up the woman who got raped to determine how she feels about it.
Back it up. No where did I say I would make that decision for anyone but myself.
I never said you did.

And, while I would admire any woman who would view a pregnancy that resulted from rape as a gift, I could not. I think you would find, if you asked about, that I am not in the minority on that belief.
Please make sure your arguments fit the person you are replying too.
You stated that you believed you were not in the minority in your belief about a rape pregnancy not being a gift. I stated that it didn't matter how many women believe the same way you do. The only one that it matters to is the one who is pregnant from a rape. SHE gets to decide. She might not ask you or anyone else what they think. She gets to decide. No one else. That's all I'm saying. And, you even agree with me.
