Obama objects to Mourdock’s rape comment, skewers Trump
(MCT) — President Barack Obama told Jay Leno Wednesday night that Indiana Senate candidate Richard Mourdock’s comments about pregnancy and rape illustrate why men alone should not be making decisions about women’s issues.
“Rape is rape. It is a crime,” Obama told the “Tonight Show” host in an interview that was set to air Wednesday evening, according to an account from a pool reporter traveling with the president. “These various distinctions about rape don’t make too much sense to me.”
