Richard Mourdock 'abhors' rape amid gaffe backlash
Republican US Senate hopeful Richard Mourdock has expressed regret a day after suggesting pregnancies caused by rape were God's plan.
On Wednesday, he told reporters he "abhors" rape and that if anyone "came away with any impression other than that, I regret it".
Mitt Romney's presidential campaign said he still backed Mr Mourdock, although he disagreed with his views.
