Pregnancies resulting from rape – part of God’s plan?

I came across this story earlier today and have been absolutely horrified and unable to stop thinking about it. I wanted to share this with you to spark a discussion on the comment made by this politician. How can someone possibly think like this? What implications would a comment like this have on a person who is or has been pregnant after being raped? What can we do to prevent others from developing viewpoints such as this?
