Mother Jones Magazine attempts to explain Scott Walker’s view on abortion. The trouble is, it makes perfect sense. Mother Jones’ cynicism is misplaced.

In other words, I just didn't have my cynicism meter turned up high enough. When Walker said there are always "alternatives" that can protect the life of the mother, he was only talking about true abortions. He wasn't talking about medical procedures that kill the fetus only as a side effect. Those aren't true abortions, so they're not part of the class of procedures for which there are alternatives.

Yeesh. If this is really the explanation, it takes political misdirection to a new level.

Only because you skipped the most critical element of the equation - MORALS. As soon as someone with morals who values both the mother's and baby's lives reads the explanation, it makes 100% sense. Only an unethical, self-absorbed fool could read that and be confused or think it is a "political misdirection".

It was a stupid gotcha question to ask Walker.
