"....The shift in emphasis and tone is noticeable not only on abortion, but also on same-sex marriage, another issue of intense interest to social conservatives.
A few weeks before the November election, in an interview with The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the governor sidestepped questions about his earlier opposition to abortion, and declined four times to answer directly when asked if abortion should be prohibited after 20 weeks — a position he had previously embraced. He also declined to restate his earlier opposition to abortion in cases of rape and incest.
But in a breakout speech in Iowa on Jan. 24, he drew loud applause from the crowd of conservative activists when he declared that he had passed “pro-life legislation” in Wisconsin and “defunded Planned Parenthood.”
“It was strikingly a different portrayal of abortion than the way he portrayed it in the fall election here,” said Charles Franklin, the director of the Marquette Law School Poll, who closely follows Mr. Walker. “He has consistently played down the importance of abortion in Wisconsin as an issue.”
Mr. Walker does not appear to be rewriting his positions on specific issues; instead he is trying to redraw his political image from a fiscally minded governor who warned his party not to be distracted by divisive social issues to a conservative presidential candidate who will fight hard for these issues. He is also reframing his fight with public employee unions from a fiscal showdown to part of a broader culture war...."

WANNABE HILLARY LET AMERCANS KNOW VERY LITTLE HER POLITICAL AGENDA As she hopscotched around the country to the tune of $300,000 per hop---Hillary craftily held back her political game-plan to her audiences.......to avoid scrutiny.
BUT THIS WE KNOW FOR SURE---A HILLARY PRESIDENCY WILL PERMIT UNLIMITED ACCESS TO UNBORN BABIES RESIDING IN WOMEN'S VAGINAS
In her cunning little fem-lib brain Hillary will exploit the "women's vote"----launching new initiatives to promote late-term abortions. Hillary might even announce a high-sounding "Woman's Equality Caucus"-----merely a subterfuge for late-term abortion expansion programs designed to further the Democrats' national “war on women” campaign theme.
================================================
The Abortion Worshipping Clintons have a Master Plan---everybody knows in politics, to burnish one's bona fides in order to get higher office, a pol has to spoon-feed the snarling "choice" crowds more and more red meat.
Will Hillary demand medical reports and checkoffs for newborns w/ diseases----toddlers who have bow legs, 3-4 year olds who won't put away their toys, the ones who won't toilet-train? Will a Hillary presidency troll kindergartens for kids who don't color within the lines---all of them marked for post-birth abortions.
==============================================
BACKSTORY Opportunistic Billy-boy Clinton hoped "stupid Americans" would ignore the details when he pontificated to an appreciative audience during the cocktail hour hosted by POLITICO: "We had 100 times as many people move from poverty into the middle class. This shows the importance of policy."
Pumping 2016 Hillary, he added: "We can do this again.”
OOPS---Billy Boy plumb "forgot" infamous MIT Professor -Jonathan Gruber crunched those numbers for the ever-ambitious Clintons....basing the numbers on the Clintons' knee-bending abortion worship. Read on.

NEW YORK – Obamacare architect, Jonathan Gruber, (exposed for his frank admissions that passing Obama's signature legislation required lying to "stupid" Americans)......published a paper during the Clinton administration observing that legalizing abortion saved the government $14B in assistance to economically disadvantaged mothers, including African Americans.....and lowered crime.
MIT economics professor Jonathan Gruber argued in his Clinton paper that without the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, “marginal children” would have been born to many poor mothers. Gruber said statistics show these aborted children would have been 70 percent more likely to live in a single-parent family, 40 percent more likely to live in poverty, 50 percent more likely to receive welfare and 35 percent more likely to die as an infant.
Economist Steven D. Levitt and journalist Stephen J. Dubner in their bestselling 2005 book, “Freakonomics,” relied on MIT Professor Jonathan Gruber’s work to argue that legalizing abortion was responsible for an approximately 50 percent reduction of crime in major urban centers in the early 1990s. more at wnd.com ==
Another anti-Walker piece by the left. Even though they deride him in public, all these Walker hit jobs show that the left is concerned about him.
The website I linked is quoting him.
I remarked below about his priorization and the fact that a pretty sound pro-life bill was passed and campaigned against in his last election.
——Gov. Scott Walker, R-Wis., took a deep dive into the divisive politics of abortion on Friday, signing a bill that would require women seeking an abortion to undergo an ultrasound and barring doctors without admitting privileges at local hospitals from performing abortions.
Just doing my part to defeat the NY Times propaganda.
Sorry, will not vote for Walker or any mainstream GOP candidate this time. Voted for the following morons to no effect: Dole, McCain, Romney. No more.
No I think you have it about right. But it doesn't matter too much, since few normal people ever read the slimes at all.
There are rumors he eats babies. I read it in a NYT bestseller - Protocols of the Elders of Wisconsin. It must be true.
Walker terrifies the Left and their media outlets. He’s a solid Christian conservative who’s just too smart for all these college kids.
