THE "HORRIBLE GIFT FROM GOD"

If you're OK with torture ... support a "qualified" death penalty ... oppose euthanasia for the terminally ill ... and believe over 100,000 civilians killed in a reckless war of choice is justified ... how can your support for the "dignity of every human life" be your rationale for denying women, who have been raped, the option to choose what they want to do with their bodies?

Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum told Piers Morgan that he believes abortion is wrong, even in the case of rape

I'm asking this because Rick Santorum believes that women who've been raped should welcome their "horrible gift from God" by making the "best out of a bad situation." Hence his opposition to abortion as an option for women.
 
Seriously, can someone explain how torture, lethal injection, living with a cancer ridden body, and supporting reckless wars of choice helps to uphold and defend the dignity of every human life? Where's the spiritual and philosophical symmetry here?

Anyone?
