Pregnancy Resource Center stands behind Mourdock

Posted:

At RETA, a pregnancy and family resource center in Elkhart, director Roxana Konopinski says people have taken Richard Mourdock's statement too far.

"I don't believe he intended it the way he sounded. We're human beings and every one of us chooses our words wrong," says Konopinski.

RETA offers free pregnancy tests and in 27 years of existence, they have issued those to rape victims.

"I would tell any woman that comes in here after being raped, that no God didn't intend for that to happen, but because it did God can bring good out of it, just as anything that happens in our lives," she says.

Konopinski says in an election, it's typical to use comments like Mourdock's in Tuesday's debate as ammunition, but she doesn't believe that anyone is condoning rape.
