Every false narrative has to start somewhere. Dana takes us back to the source of the first misquote of Scott Walker regarding ultrasounds.
(Excerpt) Read more at youtube.com ...
Nice bit of work here.
Not going to go for your click bait. Why should we care what Scott Walker has to say about ultrasounds? I am not going to decide who I vote for president based on such a minor issue.
click bait? Who peed in your cheerios?
Here’s Bernie Sanders on rape...
“A man goes home and masturbates his typical fantasy,” wrote Sanders. “A woman on her knees. A woman tied up. A woman abused.”
Sanders didn’t specify as to how he had gained such a deep understanding of the male psyche.
In terms of his understanding of female sexual fantasies, Sanders provided similar insight.
“A woman enjoys intercourse with her man–as she fantasizes about being raped by 3 men simultaneously.”
It shows just how fast the news cycle really is.
Dana is great!
I think it shows how big a bunch of liars we have to put up with.
“I think it shows how big a bunch of liars we have to put up with.”
Dana did a great timeline showing how twisted democrats can be. Of course, most democrat voters will believe the lies and think Gov. Walker is demanding ultrasounds.
actual quote,
” Most people I talk to, whether they’re pro-life or not, I find people all the time who’ll get out their iPhone and show me a picture of their grandkids’ ultrasound and how excited they are, so that’s a lovely thing. I think about my sons are 19 and 20, you know we still have their first ultrasound picture. It’s just a cool thing out there”
This is really all about the bill he signed into law that mandated an ultrasound for a woman seeking an abortion. The doctor or technician is required to point out specific features on the image. It hopes to convince more women that what they are seeing is a living human being and give them a chance to change their mind with this new information.
So they took his statement about ultrasounds and are using it to mock and criticize him about the abortion bill he signed.
There were other parts to that bill that address using public money for abortions, doctor admitting privileges for example.
“Of course, most democrat voters will believe the lies and think Gov. Walker is demanding ultrasounds.”
He is not personally demanding it but he did sign the bill into law. Wisconsin requires a woman having an abortion to have an ultrasound and requires the provider to show and describe the image. Women who have been raped are not required to have the ultrasound.
So why he isn’t personally demanding it he most likely supports the bill since he signed it.

I hope that helps to explain a bit why the left is causing a brouhaha over his ultrasound statement.
Thank you: ) I like that he signed a bill requiring an ultrasound. I just hate the way the left distorts and
makes it sounds evil when he was just thinking it was
cool to see his own children before they’re born.
“....That’s when Politico took the last line and inserted it into a breathless headline that read, “Scott Walker defends mandatory ultrasounds: ‘It’s just a cool thing out there,’” suggesting that it was the enforced law he was referring to as ‘cool.’
Politico has since deleted the quote from its headline (you can still their initial intention in the URL), but not before several other liberal-leaning outlets published similar titles. RedState has a roundup of several websites that ran with Politico’s initial error and jumped on the chance to excoriate Walker as hostile to women’s anatomical rights.....”
“.....Says Dana, “anyone with the reading comprehension of a dolphin knows that Walker was specifically describing ultrasound images, not the legislation itself.”
But who needs from reading. Here is the actual relevant portion of the interview on video:

Grossly Misrepresenting Virginia's Proposed Ultrasound Law
Ultrasound laws are fairly common in the realm of abortion politics: 22 states already have them on the books. But the proposed Virginia law--which would require an ultrasound to be performed 24 hours before an abortion and would give the mother the opportunity to view it--has been presented by pro-abortion activists, and even some in the mainstream media, as an unusually invasive regulation imposed on women. Slate's Dahlia Lithwick, for example, wrote that the ultrasound requirement amounted to state-mandated rape. But as Commentary's Alana Goodman reports, "ultrasounds are already part of the abortion procedures at Virginia Planned Parenthoods."
According to a recording from Planned Parenthood's abortion hotline, a doctor will perform an ultrasound on a woman prior to performing a surgical or a medical (i.e. drug-induced) abortion:
“Patients who have a surgical abortion generally come in for two appointments. At the first visit we do a health assessment, perform all the necessary lab work, and do an ultrasound. This visit generally takes about an hour. At the second visit, the procedure takes place. This visit takes about an hour as well. For out of town patients for whom it would be difficult to make two trips to our office, we’re able to schedule both the initial appointment and the procedure on the same day.
Medical abortions generally require three visits. At the first visit, we do a health assessment, perform all the necessary lab work, and do an ultrasound. This visit takes about an hour. At the second visit, the physician gives the first pill and directions for taking two more pills at home. The third visit is required during which you will have an exam and another ultrasound.”
In other words, a woman seeking an abortion is already required by standard practice to show up for a separate doctor's visit and receive an ultrasound. A woman seeking an abortion would only be affected by this law in one way: the doctor would offer her the chance to view the ultrasound.
It's not just pro-abortion activists who have left out this important context regarding the ultrasound legislation. Bob Lewis of the Associated Press wrote last week that the "ultrasound legislation would constitute an unprecedented government mandate to insert vaginal ultrasonic probes into women as part of a state-ordered effort to dissuade them from terminating pregnancies, legislative opponents noted." But the Associated Press reporter completely failed to exercise due diligence and never noted that Planned Parenthood, the largest abortion practitioner in America, already performs an ultrasound prior to performing an abortion."
And THAT... is what you call “The Straw Man” argument.
1) You say something your opponent never said that’s easy to attack.
2) Then you begin to attack your opponent on something they never said.
3) The person being attacked will immediately go on the defense and get very upset.
4) No matter what your opponent says you keep attacking them over and over again with the same FAKE talking point.
5) The ignorant majority of people will not look into this and assume your opponent said it as long as you keep repeating the lie.
This is known as the “The Straw Man” argument. The media and the DNC use it all the time.
Thanks Cincinatus. Very interesting.
