Scott Walker tells Laura Ingraham he doesn't believe abortion should be between a woman and her doctor

8 hours ago • By Jessie Opoien | The Capital Times




In his more than 20 years in politics, Gov. Scott Walker has never wavered on his stance on abortion issues. But he has demonstrated flexibility in the way he frames it.

The most illustrative example of this was his 2014 re-election campaign, running against Democrat Mary Burke.

After being repeatedly slammed by pro-choice groups like Emily's List, NARAL Pro-Choice America and Planned Parenthood for signing into law a bill that requires women to undergo ultrasound exams before getting abortions, Walker ran an ad that described the decision of whether or not to end a pregnancy as "an agonizing one."

"That’s why I support legislation to increase safety and to provide more information for a woman considering her options," Walker said, looking directly into the camera. "The bill leaves the final decision to a woman and her doctor. Now, reasonable people can disagree on this issue. Our priority is to protect the health and safety of all Wisconsin citizens."

Ingraham responded: "But you don't believe — I just want to clarify this, governor ... you don't believe the final decision should be between a woman and her doctor—"

"No," Walker replied. "I believe it's an unborn child. My point was, in pointing that out, is the bill, all it does, is require an ultrasound. It didn't change what the law is."

Scott Walker: “The minimum wage is a really lame idea. It’s not cool like my idea of forcing rape victims to have transvaginal ultrasounds.”

Scott Walker has made me ashamed to be from Wisconsin. I now tell people I am from near Minnesota.
