INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - The Joe Donnelly campaign released a statement Tuesday night after Richard Mourdock made a controversial comment about women impregnated during rape.

During the final Senate debate, Richard Mourdock said when a woman is impregnated during a rape, "it's something God intended."

The Joe Donnelly campaign released this statement following the debate:

“I think rape is a heinous and violent crime in every instance,” said Donnelly. “The God I believe in and the God I know most Hoosiers believe in, does not intend for rape to happen—ever. What Mr. Mourdock said is shocking, and it is stunning that he would be so disrespectful to survivors of rape.”
