New Albany, Indiana: A spokeswoman for Mitt Romney has said that the GOP presidential hopeful disagrees with comments made by Indiana Republican Senate candidate Richard Mourdock about rape and pregnancy.
During a debate on Tuesday in Indiana, Mr Mourdock said when a woman becomes pregnant during a rape, "that's something God intended."
His comments quickly drew criticism from Democrats, including challenger Joe Donnelly, who is locked in a tight race with Mr Mourdock.
Mr Mourdock's comments come a day after a new ad featuring Mr Romney giving his support for the GOP candidate started airing. It was the latest effort by both parties to break open the Senate race.
