The Wisconsin State Legislature is moving quickly on a bill to ban any sale or donation of fetal tissue. The legislation languished in the last two sessions, but is getting renewed momentum because of videos released showing top Planned Parenthood executives haggling about the price of parts from aborted babies.
Walker enjoys Republican majorities in both the assembly and state senate, with a 63-36 assembly lead.
Scott Walker already signed a bill banning abortions after 20 weeks, and would likely welcome the new ban of fetal tissue sales to burnish his national reputation among social conservatives as pro-life.
The U.S. Congress and Senate are poised to vote to defund Planned Parenthood, which would neither survive a Barack Obama veto, or, if it did, end the practice of fetal tissue sales. Planned Parenthood advocates maintain there is nothing illegal about money changing hands so long as the abortion provider does not show a profit.

Love it! Hopefully Texas will follow soon!
The sinking ship reacts?
Michigan had better step it up and pass one here as well.
Celebrating another hopeful victory in the battle for Life and you can’t even keep your politics out of it.
Congratulations!
Same old M.O. The legislature does the work and Scotty schedules the photo op signing event to take the credit.
Thanks to Cincinatus’ Wife for posting this. I have reached my limit for the month for JS Online stories.

Hey BRAD DAYSPRING!!!
Go climb under a rock. Scott Walker has been a faithful and valient Pro-Life warrior for years.
Brad Dayspring is Scotty’s Boy.
Keep it up...basically you’re becoming the equivalent of the “Walker eats poop” sign holding guy.
To each their own!
I agree for Michigan but the Geek Snyder has no backbone and no better than GOPe.
Super PACs
Super PACs, officially known as “independent-expenditure only committees,” may not make contributions to candidate campaigns or parties, but may engage in unlimited political spending independently of the campaigns. Unlike traditional PACs, they can raise funds from individuals, corporations, unions, and other groups without any legal limit on donation size.
**************
“WAUKESHA, Wisconsin — GOP presidential candidate Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker threw anti-conservative Brad Dayspring, who’s working for his Super PAC Unintimidated PAC, under the bus on Sean Hannity’s television program on Monday evening in an hour-long interview after announcing his White House run.
“Let me ask you about a hire of yours that has angered conservatives, it’s come up a lot in the news—Brent Bozell talks about Brad Dayspring as someone who besmirches the reputations of conservatives, that he’s paid to do the ugly work—do you pay attention to any of that, those criticisms?” Hannity asked Walker.
“Well, he doesn’t work for me, he works for the Super PACs out there and by ‘he doesn’t work for me’ I can’t tell any Super PACs anything,” Walker replied amid crosstalk.
I hope.
From Breitbart:
What’s more, a high-ranking source with another Republican presidential campaign tells Breitbart News that Dayspring was offered the job three months ago—around the time the Mair catastrophe struck Walker’s team—and Dayspring turned it down then. So, if true, Dayspring was originally offered this job when there was no legal firewall between the campaign-in-waiting and the Super PAC—and that the governor himself would have approved the offer.
“I hear they offered this gig to him 3 months ago and he turned them down,” that source said in an email. “He went back to them because no one else would hire him.”
Dayspring, didn’t answer questions sent to him from Breitbart News for this article.
May I provide you with a civics lesson? In a constitutional republic such as ours, the Legislature is supposed to pass the laws, and the Executive is supposed to enforce the laws. So unless you are a supporter of Obama's tendency to ignore the Congress and create new regulations by executive fiat, I am not sure what you think Walker should be doing in this case other than supporting the Legislature in their constitutional role...
Leaders set the agenda. A President advances his agenda by working with Congress.
You are wasting your time, liberals hate Governor Walker more than any other Republican candidate. Profusely mind boggling that any sane mind would trash this action.
The legislature requested the investigation back on July 17th. Walker is just taking credit for it.
