Disturbingly, not only has the trend continued, but it may be getting worse.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>First, Wisconsin Family Action <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.wifamilyaction.com\/2014\/04\/03\/wi-senate-republicans-kill-choose-life-bill-choose-life-wisconsin-inc-prepares-lawsuit\/\">reports<\/a> that the GOP-controlled state Senate \u201crefused to schedule\u201d a final vote on AB 206, a bill making available \u201cChoose Life\u201d license plates (the sales of which would fund pregnancy resource services), \u201con the last day of session, effectively killing it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Granted, license plates are hardly the biggest item on the pro-life agenda, but the fact that they pose no threat to legal abortion makes it all the more baffling why ostensibly pro-life leaders would feel the need to stifle them. The mildest possible pro-life measure is <i>still<\/i> too controversial? Pathetic.<\/p>\n<p>Second, the <i>Milwaukee Journal Sentinel<\/i> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jsonline.com\/watchdog\/noquarter\/abortion-foes-criticize-scott-walker-over-campaign-spokeswoman-b99239565z1-253730111.html#ixzz2xucvi1SE\">reports<\/a> that Gov. Scott Walker has hired a new spokeswoman, Alleigh Marre, for his gubernatorial reelection. In 2011, Marre declared, \u201cI\u2019m a Republican, and I support Planned Parenthood, a woman\u2019s right to choose, access to STD testing, birth control, etc.\u201d Marre has also worked for pro-abortion ex-GOP Sen. Scott Brown of Massachusetts. So far there\u2019s been no outright confirmation as to what Marre thinks about abortion today, but as the MJS\u2019s Daniel Bice points out, statements by Team Walker have \u201call but confirmed Marre\u2019s pro-choice position.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;America is a great country where people can have differing points of view on various issues,&#8221; said\u00a0<b>Tom Evenson<\/b>, Walker&#8217;s campaign communications director.<\/p>\n<p>Later, Evenson supplemented that statement with this: &#8220;Governor Walker welcomes people with differing opinions in his campaign and his administration. Throughout his career he has always been pro-life and supports policies that honor the sanctity of life.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>That\u2019s not good enough for the state\u2019s pro-life leaders; Pro-Life Wisconsin legislative director Matt Sande says this is \u201cobviously\u201d a problem and Marre should be replaced \u201cimmediately,\u201d because candidates and their top public representatives \u201cshould be of one mind on these core social issues.\u201d Wisconsin Right to Life executive director Barbara Lyons points out that the views of such a key official are far more significant than they would be if we were talking about some low-level employee.<\/p>\n<p>But on <i>Right Wisconsin<\/i>, Milwaukee radio host Charlie Sykes <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rightwisconsin.com\/perspectives\/scott-walkers-big-tent-253873321.html\">defends<\/a> the governor as a leader with a strong pro-life record who is simply refusing to force \u201cideological conformity\u201d on his staff, even suggesting that the real headline should be <i>crediting<\/i> Walker for taking a stand against \u201clitmus tests.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>(Disclosure: I have <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rightwisconsin.com\/perspectives\/191372701.html\">written<\/a> for RW<i>\u00a0<\/i>and interned with Pro-Life Wisconsin\u00a0in the past.)<\/p>\n<p>Sorry, but \u201clitmus test\u201d aren&#8217;t dirty words. Spokespeople must be able to effectively express and defend all of their bosses\u2019 core positions, and at a bare minimum, that effectiveness is called into question when a spokesperson doesn&#8217;t actually <i>believe<\/i> them or sincerely <i>mean<\/i> whatever he or she says in support of them. But more importantly, Marre\u2019s hire raises a more troubling question: what if Team Walker are satisfied with Marre because they don\u2019t plan on defending the pro-life cause much anyway?<\/p>\n<p>Yes, Walker has established a strong pro-life record over his career. But in all the discussion of his potential presidential run, there\u2019s an elephant in the room too few pundits want to acknowledge: the Wisconsin recall saga seems to have changed him\u2026for the worse.<\/p>\n<p>Back in November we <a href=\"\/news\/are-wisconsin-gop-leaders-chickening-out-on-pro-life-laws-too\/\">discussed<\/a> his January 2013 declaration that he didn&#8217;t want the legislature sending him hot-button legislation likely to re-flood Madison with ravenous left-wing protestors, as well as his professed disinterest in the pro-life bills that GOP Senate leaders abandoned. And a month earlier, I <a href=\"http:\/\/patriotupdate.com\/articles\/unintimidated-walker-conservatives-dont-know\/\">wrote<\/a> on <i>Patriot Update<\/i> that Walker was displaying this pattern across multiple issues.<\/p>\n<p>Further, in an August 2012 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.democracynow.org\/2012\/8\/30\/as_walker_rejects_abortions_relevance_in\">interview<\/a> with <i>Democracy Now\u2019s<\/i> Amy Goodman, Walker responded to abortion questions not by standing up for basic pre-born rights, but by downplaying the issue\u2019s importance:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u00a0The women I talk to in my state never talk about that issue. They overwhelmingly talk to me about the fears they have about their children and the ideas that their children someday might not have a job or an opportunity. That\u2019s not an issue to\u2014the issue that the media obsesses with, it\u2019s not an issue that voters talk about [\u2026] It is an issue that the media wants to talk about, because they want to give Barack Obama a pass from the abysmal failure\u201442 consecutive months of unemployment above 8 percent, 12 million Americans unemployed. We should be talking about that, because that\u2019s what\u2019s at stake in this election.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yeah, let\u2019s stop \u201cobsessing\u201d over a million deaths a year. Innocent lives weren&#8217;t \u201cat stake in this election.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, when Sykes quotes Walker on Thursday as defending his pro-life credentials &#8211; \u201cBottom line: I am pro-life. I have a strong record and will continue to be strong when it comes to protecting life.\u201d &#8211; that\u2019s the first time in ages I can remember Walker actually expressing any such strength\u2026when it was politically advantageous to do so.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s what\u2019s so unsettling about all this: hiring pro-abortion surrogates and sending pro-life bills and questions to the back of the bus all leave the distinct impression that Wisconsin\u2019s ostensibly pro-life leaders in the legislature and governor\u2019s mansion think of abortion as just one policy issue out of many equally important matters &#8211; not a matter of life and death, not the defining humanitarian crisis and civil rights abomination of our lifetimes, not the monstrous shedding of innocent blood that calls out to our consciences for justice and mercy.<\/p>\n<p>Pro-life Wisconsinites have placed a lot of patience and faith in these people. If that\u2019s what they really believe, it\u2019s well past time they just say so and stop stringing us along.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the past few months, the actions of Wisconsin\u2019s Republican leadership have raised red flags among pro-lifers for abandoning legislation that would ban sex-selection abortion and protect Wisconsinites\u2019 conscience rights against forced subsidizing of abortion.
