This is a 100% non-issue. Why in the world would anyone care what Mourdock's views are on abortion? He has no power to implement his views. Romney's views are at least somewhat of an issue. If Romney is adamantly pro-life and he will only appoint Justices who are pro-life, then that would be an issue worth talking about. If Roe v Wade was overturned, abortion would be probably be outlawed in some of the conservative states.
So Romney's views are a legitimate issue to discuss because his views could have an effect on policy. Mourdock's views have no effect on policy. His views are a non-issue.
Whether I am strongly pro-life or strongly pro-choice, I would never in the least bit care what my congressman's opinion was on the issue. It's meaningless.
