FULL TITLE: Scott Walker's Dem Opponent: Tax Dollars Should Pay for Abortions Just Like They Pay for Tonsillectomies
Tony Evers, the Wisconsin Democratic gubernatorial nominee running against Scott Walker, said in an interview on Tuesday that the Democratic party needs to be a "big tent" that welcomes pro-life voters order to win in November. While pro-life Democrats are dwindling in numbers in Congress and ostracized within other states, Evers told THE WEEKLY STANDARD that "pro-life Democrats are welcome in the party, and I respect their decisions on this issue."
Evers then proceeded to compare abortions to tonsillectomies while advocating for unlimited taxpayer funding of elective abortion under Medicaid.
"We need to have the Medicaid money be available for all people and restricting it because of a certain procedure, whether it's a tonsillectomy or any other procedure, seems to me a foolhardy thing to do," Evers told me.
Wisconsin, like the vast majority of states, currently bans Medicaid funding of elective abortions. In national polls, voters have strongly opposed using tax dollars to pay for abortions: A 2016 YouGov poll found that American voters support the Hyde amendment by a 26-point margin. That same year, the platform of the national Democratic party for the first time explicitly called for repealing the Hyde amendment, the federal measure that prohibits Medicaid funding of abortion except in cases of rape, incest, or when the mother's life is endangered. West Virginia Democratic senator Joe Manchin called that plank of the platform " crazy."

Morally, a baby is no more significant than tonsils to the far left fringe. They disgust me.
Pro Life democrats are welcome but we’re going to tax them to pay for abortions, and they better not complain.
The Mainstream wants hard leftist only and will poo poo any Dem who is Moderate. The Base wants Socialism and so does the Dem Media, And then there is Donald Trump.
Donald forces them left with his irritating Tweets. He calls them out and they can't help but go left. He is preventing them from Pivoting to the middle as is their typical hiding position.
All I can says is "Too D*M Bad"
Women choose to get pregnant. No one ever chooses to have infected tonsils. Even if abortion did not kill a baby, that fact alone means it should never be paid for by the taxpayers.
More like sex is chosen except if it’s rape. And it’s pretty common sense that it can cause pregnancy unless one or both people are pretty infertile and/or some kind of contraceptive is used.
The biological purpose of sex is for reproduction, and women know that. Therefore, when they choose to have unprotected sex, they are choosing to get pregnant.
Rape is unlikely to result in pregnancy. A woman who has been raped can decrease that small chance by using a “morning after” contraceptive when she seeks medical attention for the rape.
Nah, they are thin-skinned people who are easy to provoke. The fact that they can be provoked shows how weak they are. Sun Tzu knew quite a bit about provoking your enemy.

Unless the mother’s life is in danger, an abortion is not “health care”. Similarly, “sex reassignment surgery” is not health care. Both are examples of the depravity that physicians can descend into; using their skills to murder and disfigure. I think here, the comparison to WW2 Nazi concentration camp doctors or progressive eugenicists is appropriate.
