Yes it was. Not by everyone, but many of his critics.
No. He didn't accidently say something he didn't mean. He accidentally said something he did mean.
He did mean that rape babies are a gift from god. In fact he reiterated that all life is God's will.
Maybe he didn't mean to let that meaning be known, but it wasn't like people took the wrong meaning from what he said. I don't doubt that some opposition spin-doctor might have tried to extend his meaning to include rape is a gift from god. But that would have been intentional and not an actual misinterpretation.
I can see how people might be confused about the law-maker however as he's also been quoted as saying, "I support the death penalty".
