7. Each Republican has their own views on abortion.

Gov. Bobby Jindal: "I am 100 percent anti-abortion with no exceptions. I believe all life is precious."

Sen. David Vitter: (Washington, D.C.) – The U.S. Senate today passed U.S. Sen. David Vitter’s amendment to S.1200, the Indian Health Care Improvement Act, prohibiting the use of federal Indian Health Service (IHS) funds for abortions, except to save the life of the mother, or in cases of rape or incest of a minor.

Rep. John Fleming: "The medical and scientific communities are clear: life begins at conception. I am wholeheartedly committed to protecting the defenseless and innocent. And I’ll continue to do everything in my power to protect the sanctity of life."

Gov. Mitt Romney: "Mitt believes that life begins at conception"

So we see here that Governor Jindal, Governor Romney, and Representative Fleming would be in favor of the rapist's offspring while Senator Vitter would be in favor of the mother's right to choose.
