"SNIP.....................



Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R), who has previously said he opposes legal abortion even in cases of rape and incest, told voters earlier this month that an anti-abortion bill he signed "leaves the final decision to a woman and her doctor."

New Hampshire GOP Senate candidate Scott Brown (R), who was endorsed by an anti-abortion group in 2012, now insists that he is "pro-choice."

Two GOP Senate candidates who previously supported fetal personhood measures, which would ban abortion without exceptions, have since been running from those measures. Joni Ernst in Iowa assured voters the personhood measure she supported wouldn't have actually done anything, and Rep. Cory Gardner (R-Colo.) claimed a federal amendment he cosponsored didn't exist. Multiple Republican candidates have also come out in support of over-the-counter birth control since August.

Planned Parenthood told reporters on Friday to be skeptical of the apparent change of heart.

1. APPEAR

2. Oh yeah. They'll go back to wanting to end abortion if they win. No doubt about it.

5. +1

Taking bets now on how many Republican-controlled legislatures will enact tons of new abortion restrictions (are there any more left to enact in some places- short of entirely banning it as I'm sure many are dying to do?). I wouldn't be surprised if Republicans do something in Congress if they win Senate.

3. They are not pro choice

If they say they are they're lying. They don't even want us to have birth control or the right to plan our family and our lives. They are hateful.

4. Yeah, that final decision is a Sophie's Choice type of decision.

Carry the pregnancy to term or go to jail or have your medical license suspended.
