I&#8217;m pro-life. But there\u2019s no doubt in my mind the decision of whether or not to end a pregnancy is an agonizing one. That\u2019s why I support legislation to increase safety and to provide more information for a woman considering her options. 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.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Accept \u201cend a pregnancy\u201d as a euphemism for killing a child? Check. Emphasize that he\u2019s leaving abortion between \u201ca woman and her doctor\u201d? Check. Gratuitously affirm that favoring legal abortion can be \u201creasonable\u201d? Check. Bend over backward to insist it\u2019s all about the women rather than their babies? Check.<\/p>\n<p>This is exactly what many feared would happen when Scott Walker <a href=\"\/news\/wisconsin-governments-pro-life-leadership-deficit-continues-to-worsen\/\">hired pro-abortion spokeswoman Alleigh Marre<\/a> for his re-election campaign. This may have been a deluded attempt to appear more reasonable than the caricature, but all Walker has done is preemptively conceded the legitimacy of various pro-abortion premises and rhetorical fictions.<\/p>\n<p>Contrary to Right Wisconsin\u2019s Collin Roth, who <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rightwisconsin.com\/dailytakes\/Abortion-Bills-Front-and-Center-in-New-Ads-From-EMILYs-List-and-Scott-Walker-278358001.html\">calls the ad<\/a> a \u201cworthy attempt,\u201d it would have been less damaging if he had just kept his mouth shut. Silence may be weaksauce, but at least it doesn\u2019t go out of its way to draw attention to just how weak.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re still not getting the impression that Team Walker really doesn\u2019t want to talk about abortion, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scottwalker.com\/press\/walker-campaign-releases-new-ad-%E2%80%9Cdecision%E2%80%9D#.VDdm2yldXtI\">statement<\/a> they released with the ad spells it out even more:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Special interests from Washington, D.C., are spending millions of dollars to distract voters from Governor Walker\u2019s positive record and Wisconsin\u2019s improving economy which have helped to create more than 100,000 new jobs and 25,000 businesses over the last four years.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Gee, it sure is a drag that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thonline.com\/news\/iowa-illinois-wisconsin\/article_1b1deaec-3395-11e4-9a61-001a4bcf6878.html\">killing over six thousand little Wisconsinites a year<\/a> is a hot button issue, because we\u2019d much rather talk about what we think <em>really<\/em> matters: the economy.<\/p>\n<p>And incredibly, that\u2019s not all. <em>The<\/em> <em>Cap<\/em> <em>Times<\/em> <a href=\"http:\/\/host.madison.com\/ct\/news\/local\/writers\/jessie-opoien\/scott-walker-s-campaign-site-touts-pro-life-wisconsin-endorsement\/article_a216217d-53f0-520c-b035-2c3bce48e266.html\">reports<\/a> that Walker did not receive Pro-Life Wisconsin\u2019s endorsement in 2014 because he declined to fill out a candidate survey, yet his website still touts their support, presenting their 2012 endorsement as if it was current. (Pro-Life Wisconsin declined an invitation to comment on this new ad; neither Wisconsin Right to Life, who <a href=\"http:\/\/myelectioncentral.com\/pdfs\/2014_WRTL_PAC_Primary_Endorsements_Updated_8_1_14.pdf\">has endorsed Walker this year<\/a>, nor Wisconsin Family Action have responded to requests for comment.)<\/p>\n<p>Even more troubling from the self-proclaimed 100% pro-life candidate:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Asked by Channel 3000 on Wednesday whether he wanted all abortions made illegal,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.channel3000.com\/news\/reality-check-dueling-ads-detail-abortion-bill\/29017880\">Walker responded<\/a>, \u201cThat&#8217;s not even an option in the state. The Supreme Court more than 40 years ago ruled that is not an option.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>My hero.<\/p>\n<p>It may seem baffling, but the writing was on the wall. This is simply the natural progression of a governor who\u2019s decided the culture wars are just too politically messy. After all, he has <a href=\"\/news\/are-wisconsin-gop-leaders-chickening-out-on-pro-life-laws-too\/\">previously said<\/a> of pro-life laws state GOP leaders ditched, \u201cit\u2019s not on my radar if it\u2019s not about jobs, balancing the budget or lowering taxes,\u201d and <a href=\"\/news\/wisconsin-governments-pro-life-leadership-deficit-continues-to-worsen\/\">claimed<\/a> \u201cthe women I talk to in my state never talk about\u201d abortion. By my math, all this falls well short of 100%.<\/p>\n<p>Is the GOP establishment all drinking the same spiked Kool-Aid? You\u2019d think they\u2019d learn a thing or two from the way Ken Cuccinelli\u2019s efforts to downplay abortion in favor of the economy <a href=\"http:\/\/www.weeklystandard.com\/blogs\/make-pro-abortion-extremists-play-defense_775222.html\">blew up in his face<\/a> and gave Terry McAuliffe the governorship of Virginia. Or that, while Cory Gardner\u2019s overall <a href=\"http:\/\/hotair.com\/archives\/2014\/10\/09\/mark-uterus-udalls-war-on-women-campaign-in-colorado-is-failing-to-win-over-women\/\">poll numbers against Mark Udall<\/a> are looking pretty good now, Gardner still trails among women, despite <a href=\"\/news\/no-cory-gardner-making-contraception-otc-wont-placate-pro-choice-zealots\/\">throwing personhood under the bus and offering up over-the-counter birth control<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>And Walker himself?
