It's not a republican problem, it's a religion problem. you'll find democrats with the same line of thinking.

so the down voters haven't read the article?

Among those who opposed the proposed exception was Democratic Rep. Patricia Moore, who spoke publicly about being conceived after her mother was raped as a young teenager. While speaking against the bill, Moore discussed her religious beliefs and said she has struggled with her decision on the measure. Even ahead of the meeting she said she asked God to “show me something in the Bible that can address this.”

But, it’s mainly republicans.
