Is a pregnancy caused by rape "intended by God"?

God, the Father watches us all everywhere.

An Indiana candidate thinks so:

His claim poses an interesting ethical question.  If God know what's going to happen, why does God allow bad things to happen?  It's a question that has plagued theologians, and religious believers in general, for... well, forever.

I can only assume that if God really does know about every sparrow that falls, as Jesus suggested, then God simply allows the game to play itself out... free-will and all.
