In a radio interview with Bill Manders on Jan. 25, Sharron Angle — the GOP candidate and Tea Party darling challenging Harry Reid for Nevada’s U.S. Senate seat — came out firmly against abortion. She even took the extreme position that women should not have control over their reproductive rights in cases of rape or incest, because it would interfere with God’s “plan” for them:Rape and incest are part of God's plan? Seriously? We're supposed to combat getting pregnant through rape or incest with "a little faith"? This woman can't be serious. Of all the terrible answers to give to that question, I think that's the flat out worst. To tell a rape victim to "have a little faith" when she's pregnant through that horrible act? This woman's moral center looks like rotten eggplant.
MANDERS: Is there any reason at all for an abortion?ANGLE: Not in my book.MANDERS: So, in other words, rape and incest would not be something?ANGLE: You know, I’m a Christian, and I believe that God has a plan and a purpose for each one of our lives and that he can intercede in all kinds of situations and we need to have a little faith in many things.
And yet she is. This is the person chosen by the Nevada GOP to run as a United States Senator. Look, Harry Reid has his well-documented problems, but this woman is utterly bonkers. I wouldn't trust her to run an ice cream stand on a July day, much less as a Senator.
