He really should be our next President...........Sometimes I hate the voters. We screwed our country when we didn’t chose Santorum in 2012 and will probably screw the country again by not choosing Walker because he is not flashy enough and give a stupid speech. It is no wonder that we are failing. We support the dumbest people on Earth. Such a shame. Oh well, the country’s loss.

I recall a congressional hearing on the subject of medical conditions of the mother which might require an abortion to save her life. The testimony I recall is that such conditions are almost non-existent. I mean true physical problems and not mental or emotional problems.
Maybe someone is knowledgeable about this, but what I took away from the reports on those hearings was that such conditions of a pregnant woman are extremely rare.
There is a dr. that has explained that what it takes to do a late term abortion would actually kill a woman if she were in true need. you would perform a cesarean. he said in his career he had terminated many pregnancies, but had never had to kill the unborn child.
Outside extreme circumstances like Tubicular pregnancy and even more rare medical situations, women do not die in 2015 from pregnancy related issues. It is vanishingly rare to require abortion to save a mother’s life.
The problem is that if a woman FEELS bad, they now consider that a threat to her life.
Its clear Kelly and Wallace like his father are both Democrats. I don’t want to watch their shows any longer
this is the way too get back at them for their cheap shots.
I think the abortion to save a woman’s life claim has always been an almost total fabrication, but few will saw that.
I guess if a woman’s heart became very weak for some reason, she might be unable to continue nourishing herself and an unborn baby, but that would be a one-in-a-million type of condition for younger women.
but to prepare for a late term abortion takes days. perform the cesarean if the mother’s life is truly endangered, and you don’t have to kill the child.
Anyone having a late term abortion is doing it purely out of evil.
A pregnant woman would not be a mother unless she is carrying a child.
I've sometimes thought it was a threat to MY life.
I agree, but a condition that endangers the mother could occur early in pregnancy. Such conditions could occur, but only rarely do from the information I recall from a congressional hearing.
Ooh reality sucks for progressives
Married a redhead huh? I feel your pain...hers to! ;)
never has been... well maybe 1 in 1000 or more
Ectopic pregnancy is a real threat to the mother’s life. This is a situation where the zygote implants in the fallopian tube instead of in the uterus. (Pro-abortion persons would not even call this “pregnant,” since they don’t recognize pregnancy until the zygote implants in the uterus.)
Any other serious medical condition in pregnancy can almost always be handled by continuing the pregnancy until the baby can be delivered with the intention to preserve his life.
It is appalling that Walker can't answer this guaranteed-to-be-asked question better than that. He just dodged the question. Not impressive.
Try something like this instead:
"In less than one percent of abortions, the doctor has to choose between saving the life of the mother and saving the life of the fetus. In those very rare cases, the mother's life should come first."The instant after a Republican candidate describes this as a false choice in a typical MSM television interview, an OB/GYN will pop up on the screen describing cases of severe preeclampsia, and the Republican candidate will look like an idiot.
Republican candidates should not set themselves up for such treatment. Don't bother calling Kelly's question a false choice in a television interview. Treat it as a hypothetical, and ANSWER THE QUESTION. Being pro-life does not mean believing that the fetus's life is more valuable than the mother's. There is nothing wrong with pointing that out in an interview.
Dodging the question, as Walker did, will not save a single life.
Ben Carson wasn’t making a small point when mentioned performing surgery on a baby still in the womb.
removing ectopic pregnancies are not abortions and thechild is hardly viewed as unwanted or a burden.
