And some of those on the pro-life side have said they don&#8217;t want to compromise at all; they&#8217;d rather ban the research. I just fundamentally have an issue with that, which is why we&#8217;ve had that discussion in caucus and we haven&#8217;t found a consensus.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Vos has been dragging his feet on the legislation for months (GOP Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wrn.com\/2016\/01\/pro-life-groups-renew-push-for-wisconsin-fetal-tissue-ban-audio\/\">says he has reservations<\/a>, too, while Governor Scott Walker is largely keeping quiet on the issue). In September, Wisconsin Family Action President Julaine Appling <a href=\"http:\/\/wifamilyaction.org\/rep-vos-claim-is-disturbing-bill-is-about-character-of-wisconsin\/\">said it was<\/a> \u201cvery disturbing that the Speaker can\u2019t find 50 votes out of 63 fellow Assembly Republicans all almost all of whom at least claim to be pro-life,\u201d and the Milwaukee pro-life ads <a href=\"\/news\/milwaukee-tv-stations-snub-pro-life-ad-fetal-parts-bill\/\">we reported on<\/a> earlier this month were meant in part to pressure him to change his tune.<\/p>\n<p>In October, Media Trackers <a href=\"http:\/\/mediatrackers.org\/wisconsin\/2015\/10\/06\/mr-speaker-50-votes-aborted-fetal-tissue-bill\">questioned<\/a> Vos\u2019s claim that the votes simply weren\u2019t there in the Republican-controlled chamber, noting that the bill already has 42 confirmed supporters, the Republicans who haven\u2019t yet endorsed it all have 100% ratings with Wisconsin Right to Life, and that there are eight past supporters of fetal tissue bans that haven\u2019t yet signed onto this one\u2014so the votes to make up the difference should be there.<\/p>\n<p>As for Vos\u2019s personal reservations about the ban, it is true that <a href=\"\/news\/liberal-media-ignores-difference-researching-tissue-killing-people-get\/\">there&#8217;s a difference<\/a> between research using ethically-obtained human tissue and getting that tissue from murdering babies, and there would be a legitimate case against the bill if it banned the former in addition to the latter.<\/p>\n<p>However, contrary to the Speaker\u2019s insinuation that the bill\u2019s backers just won\u2019t listen to reason, lead sponsor Rep. Andr\u00e9 Jacque <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jsonline.com\/news\/statepolitics\/bill-banning-sale-or-donation-of-fetal-tissue-to-get-quick-hearing-b99546914z1-319529081.html\">says<\/a> the bill only bans the use of tissue derived from abortion, and that he\u2019s perfectly willing to consider further revisions if need be. Wisconsin Family Action <a href=\"http:\/\/wifamilyaction.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/PR_010416.pdf\">doesn&#8217;t oppose<\/a> using fetal tissue as long as abortion isn\u2019t involved, either.<\/p>\n<p>And they\u2019re right\u2014the <a href=\"http:\/\/docs.legis.wisconsin.gov\/2015\/related\/proposals\/ab305\">bill text<\/a> defines prohibited \u201cfetal body parts\u201d as those from \u201can unborn child [\u2026] who is aborted by an induced abortion,\u201d and the sponsors have <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wpr.org\/sponsors-amend-fetal-tissue-bill-allowing-limited-research\">already agreed<\/a> to an exception for tissue obtained from pre-2015 abortions. So Vos\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/fox6now.com\/2016\/01\/12\/gop-lawmakers-call-on-party-leaders-to-take-action-on-bill-that-bans-research-using-fetal-tissue\/\">accusation<\/a> that \u201csome of the authors\u201d want \u201cno amendments\u201d is simply false. This legislation is solely about keeping all future abortions out of the research.<\/p>\n<p>What pro-lifer could oppose that? What legitimate concerns could possibly remain? What further revisions are there that wouldn\u2019t render the ban toothless? We hear a lot of vague talk about this ban having a \u201cchilling effect\u201d on research done at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, but nothing specific that would actually find the \u201cconsensus\u201d Vos claims to want.<\/p>\n<p>If Wisconsin\u2019s Republican leaders are letting the <a href=\"http:\/\/mediatrackers.org\/wisconsin\/2015\/08\/13\/four-university-wisconsin-leaders-advocate-abortion\">rabidly<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nouwabortions.com\/\">pro-abortion<\/a> UW-Madison define what\u2019s \u201creasonable,\u201d then pro-lifers\u2014and more importantly, preborn babies\u2014in the Badger State have a big problem.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Disturbing news is coming out of Wisconsin, where Republican Assembly Speaker Robin Vos is trying to lower pro-lifers&#8217;
