Scott Walker Backs Legislation to Protect Infants from Late-Term Abortion
Weekly Standard ^ | March 3, 2015 | John McCormack

In an open letter released on Tuesday, Wisconsin governor Scott Walker said he would sign legislation banning most abortions after the fifth month of pregnancy, the point after which infants can feel pain and survive if born prematurely.

"As the Wisconsin legislature moves forward in the coming session, further protections for mother and child are likely to come to my desk in the form of a bill to prohibit abortions after 20 weeks. I will sign that bill when it gets to my desk and support similar legislation on the federal level," Walker wrote. "I was raised to believe in the sanctity of life and I will always fight to protect it."

Walker's letter was released the same day that Hillary Clinton, the likely Democratic presidential nominee, was in Washington, D.C. to speak at an event hosted by EMILY's List, an organization that that opposes bans on partial-birth or late-term abortion and supports taxpayer-funded abortion. .....

I recently met John Barros, the man featured in the video linked below. Every day he stands in front of an abortion mill in Orlando, praying and sharing the gospel with lost and broken people. He’s been doing it for five years now and hundreds of babies have been spared due to his efforts.

John said women can have late-term abortions arranged through that clinic for $32,000. They don’t actually do the late-term abortions there. Instead they fly the girls to a clinic somewhere on the east coast (Maryland?) and get a finder’s fee. He also said one day the clinic had a free abortion day and something like 142 babies were murdered that day. A clinic worker told him that she felt like the devil showed up around number 80.

If you don’t know of John Barros, here is a short video about him.
