An Oklahoma politician has said on record that rape and incest are ā€œthe will of Godā€.

The comments came from state Representative George Faught, the author of House Bill 1549, which bans abortions based on genetic abnormalities.

On Tuesday, Faught was asked by Representative Cory Williams whether rape was the ā€œwill of Godā€.

In response, Faught said: ā€œWell, you know, if you read the Bible, thereā€™s actually a couple circumstances where that happenedā€¦

ā€œThe Lord uses all circumstances. I mean, you can go down that path, but itā€™s a reality unfortunately,ā€ he adds.

In a follow up question, Williams asked whether incest was the ā€œwill of Godā€.

Faught responded: ā€œSame answer. Doesnā€™t deal with this bill.ā€

As Williams reiterated that the questions were relevant to the bill, he said: ā€œYou are proffering a divine intervention as the reason why you wonā€™t do that and so I think it is very important.ā€

ā€œThis body wants to know ā€” and myself personally ā€” whether you believe rape and incest are actually the will of God,ā€ Williams questioned.

To which Faught responded: ā€œItā€™s a great question to ask. And, obviously if it happens in someoneā€™s life, it may not be the best thing that ever happened, but ā€” so youā€™re saying that God is not sovereign with every activity that happens in someoneā€™s life and canā€™t use anything and everything in someoneā€™s life and I disagree with that.ā€
