I merely wanted to make the point - as Cornyn did - that IF you believe that God "intends" for a very much wanted baby to be born in a loving family, then you cannot but accept that God must also "intend" for the unwanted babies conceived through rape to be born. If you don't, well, then it's a different story; but you seem to agree with me in your reply that Mourdock's comment is not problematic, except to the extent that it conveys his belief in a God who has a real influence on some things that happen in life. There's no reason for people sharing that belief to take umbrage at what he said.

However parsed, since Marys supposed sinlessness is through Christs conception, it is retroactive

Choice forms a critical distinction there; small wonder Cornyn and Mourdock missed it.
