Two days after Gov. Scott Walker announced for president, conservative commentator Laura Ingraham wanted to know if the Wisconsin Republican planned to mislead voters.
Interviewing the governor July 15, 2015 on her nationally syndicated radio show, Ingraham referred to a National Journal article that was published on the eve of Walkers announcement. An anonymous longtime Walker adviser had said Walker would run as a conservative early in the campaign, then position himself as more moderate.
"Is that what youre going to do?" Ingraham asked. "Move to the middle after arguing that youre the real conservative in this race?"
Walker said no, and then went on to list a number of his accomplishments as governor that are important to conservatives. One is a law that requires women seeking an abortion to first get an ultrasound -- although they are not required to view it.
"We know if people can see that unborn child, particularly with the latest technology, the odds are pretty high theyre going to keep the baby," Walker said..................

If a woman can keep her baby, she probably will. Where does the idea come from that women so frivolously decide to have abortions? So frivolously that seeing an ultrasound of the baby will change their minds? I'd have to see some good numbers on that to believe it.
