Not to make a litmus test case or anything but they only begin to ponder it after 4 months of pregnancy?

That was my thought too! Do women normally wait 5 months to decide that they need to abort the baby that was a result of a rape?

The Left are scared to death of this clean-cut, pleasant, bright, insightful, and charismatic guy who may just be the next POTUS.

Walker’s “rumbling” under their feet, and they know what it means - he’s going to be a disaster for their “causes” — their “justice.”

Here's an URGENT email being circulated by Diane Ravitch [Wellesley grad and.....]:

"Scott Walker made his reputation busting unions and attacking K-12 teachers. It was only a matter of time until he turned his guns on higher education. Not only has he slashed the funding of the University of Wisconsin, but now he is going after tenure. He long ago signaled his belief that universities exist for workforce training, not to develop independent-minded citizens or creative thinkers.

If you are opposed to Scott Walker’s assault on intellectual freedom, sign this petition.

This email just arrived:

Diane,

Please help get the word out–

Tenure is literally dying as we speak. Last Friday the Wisconsin Legislature’s Joint Finance Committee passed an Omnibus Bill that creates Act 10 for Higher Education..................."

“...Walker’s political opponents painted his position as extreme. “Once again, Scott Walker has placed his own rigid, backward ideology ahead of the best interests of the people of his state,” said Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz. “Already, this bill takes away a decision that should be between a woman and her doctor. Already, it doesn’t allow for any exceptions even for survivors of rape or incest. And now, shocking new details show that Scott Walker wants to go even further to take away a woman’s say in her own health. Rape survivors deserve more protections under the law, not less.”

....“The Democrats were painting us as the caveman party,“ says Katie Packer Gage, a former top aide to Romney and founder of Burning Glass Consulting, a firm that has focused on helping male Republican candidates talk about issues important to women.

Packer Gage acknowledged Walker’s comments could hurt him. But she said the 20-week abortion ban, if properly handled, could be a winning issue for Republicans in the general election. “We have [Democrats] a bit backed into the corner because the public support is there, even among women,” she told TIME. “Many people believe that if you haven’t figured this out in 20 weeks, well, the decision has probably already been made and you should probably go forward.”

Liz Mair, a Republican strategist and former adviser to Walker, noted that many women who support the right to an abortion draw a distinction between late-term abortions and those performed during the first 20 weeks of pregnancy. Mair, who supports a woman’s right to an abortion in the first trimester, argued it is extreme to support abortions during the final three months of a pregnancy if the mother’s life is not at risk.”

Do women normally wait 5 months to decide...

Or worse...

Does it take them 3 months or more to realize that they were raped? Or that they were dating their First Cousin?

I don't buy it.

But then, the Left never tells the truth...

The rape canard. If the victim, and for her I do have sympathy, has carried the child for 20 weeks, has she not come to terms (npi) with the LIFE growing within??? I can see a first trimester decision - still another tragedy - but at least is understsndable. But this opposition is simply playing the “rape card” as a ruse to forward a different agenda.

"....But this opposition is simply playing the “rape card” as a ruse to forward a different agenda.....

The Left has played the "rape" card on Walker before.

Scott Walker Removes Campus Rape Reporting Requirements After University's Request [UPDATE] UPDATE: Feb. 28 -- Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker deleted campus rape reporting requirements from his new two-year budget this month at the request of University of Wisconsin Systems. The network of campuses said the federal government already required them to report rape statistics, and the Wisconsin state requirement forced them to duplicate those efforts.

A report by Jezebel on Friday suggested that Walker deleted the rape requirements as a policy move. Walker's office and UWSystems have since confirmed that was not the case.

The leftard rags like “Salon” have directed much of their fire at Walker in recent weeks... they must’ve gotten the directive from the lead ‘rats to start in on him. They must be seeing survey data that tells them he’s a threat.

You’re right.

It’s been a drumbeat about Walker’s “war on women,” his “racism” his fight against unions/education..... [their top 3 voter targets - women, minorities, unions]
