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.
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.
A pregnant woman would not be a mother unless she is carrying a child.
Ooh reality sucks for progressives
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.

Walker stakes his pro-life positionn at debate.
FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.
“I defunded Planned Planned more than four years ago, long before any of these videos came out. Ive got a position thats in line with every day America.”
And thank GOD for that, Governor Walker!
Women were sold SUCH a bill of goods on Roe v. Wade. I’ve NEVER understood what was behind that, other than easy extermination of our offspring. WHO has it benefited? You always need to follow the money, and I’ll bet PP was on the front lines advocating for its passage. Cha-CHING!
Can you imagine something like that being passed today, with all of the technology we now have?
BTTT!
