PLANNED PARENTHOOD AS WELL.
BACK TO YOU.
>> Martha: FORMER REPUBLICAN
GOVERNOR OF WISCONSIN, SCOTT
WALKER JOINS ME NOW.
IN 2015, HE SIGNED A BILL
BANNING ABORTIONS AFTER 20 WEEKS
IN THE STATE.
GOVERNOR, GOOD TO HAVE YOU HERE
TODAY.
I GUESS YOUR REACTION FIRST OF
ALL TO THIS ATTACK ON THIS PRO
LIFE GROUP’S OFFENSE OVER THE
WEEKEND IN YOUR STATE, WHAT CAN
YOU TELL US?
>> IT’S OUTRAGEOUS.
THE FACT THAT A MOLOTOV COCKTAIL
DIDN’T SPREAD OUTRAGE.
WE SHOULD BE SPEAKING AGAINST
VIOLENCE NO MATTER WHERE IT
COMES FROM.
IF A MOLOTOV COCKTAIL HAD BEEN
THROWN THROUGH THE BEHIND
QUARTERS OF AN ABORTION CLINIC,
MANY OF WOULD HAVE SPOKE OUT
AGAINST IT AND OUTRAGED WITH THE
VIOLENCE.
SADLY, IT’S A TRENDS WE’RE
SEEING ACROSS THE NATION.
IN PLACES OF WORSHIP AND THE
HOMES OF THE SUPREME COURT
JUSTICES.
IF IT WAS THE OTHER WAY AROUND,
THE OUTRAGE BY BE HEARD.
>> Martha: A LOT OF PEOPLE LOOK
AT THE GOVERNORS AS THE NEW
FRONT LINE IF THIS GOES THROUGH
AS IT APPEARS IT WILL.
THE OVERTURNING OF ROE V. WADE
AT THE SUPREME COURT WHEN THEY
PUT OUT THE FINAL DECISION.
IT WILL FALL ON THE GOVERNORS
AND THE STATE LEGISLATURES.
AS YOU MENTIONED IN THE INTRO
SIGNED INTO LAW A 20-WEEK BAN.
IS THAT WHERE YOU THINK THIS
GOES?
A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK THAT ONCE
THIS CAN IS OPENED, STATES LIKE
YOURS MIGHT PUSH FOR A FULL BAN
ON ABORTION IN YOUR STATE.
>> WELL, YOU’RE GOING TO GO FROM
THE COURT OF LAW, WHICH IS WHERE
ROE V. WADE HAS PUT THINGS FOR
THE LAST HALF A CENTURY TO THE
COURT OF PUBLIC OPINION.
IN THE LAST FEW DAYS, YOU’VE
SEEN A LOT OF OUTRAGE BUT MUCH
OF THIS PUSH BACK IS DIVERT ON
OTHER ISSUES AS OPPOSED TO
PROTECTING THE LIVES OF THE
UNBORN CHILDREN.
YESTERDAY WAS MOTHER’S DAY.
THANK GOD FOR THE MOTHERS ACROSS
THE WORLD THAT GAVE BIRTH TO
BEAUTIFUL BABY GIRLS AND BABY
BOYS.
THAT’S WHAT WE’RE TALKING ABOUT.
WE’RE TALKING ABOUT ADVOCATING
FOR PEOPLE THAT ARE LIVING
BEINGS.
NOT A MASS OF CELLS, NOT AN
ORGAN.
A LIVING HUMAN BEING.
WE TALKED A LOT ABOUT SCIENCE
DURING COVID.
AN URN BORN BABY IS A LIVING
BEING.
EVEN THE PRESIDENT CALLED IT A
CHILD THE OTHER DAY.
SO THOSE OF US THAT SUPPORT
PROTECTING INNOCENT LIVES HAVE
TO PROTECT THAT CASE NOT ONLY
LEGALLY BUT FROM OUR HEART AND
SHOW THE COMPASSION THAT WE HAVE
FOR THE BABIES AND THE MOTHERS.
>> Martha: THE QUESTION IS
WHETHER OR NOT WHAT LOOKS LIKE
NOW A 15-WEEK BAN IN
MISSISSIPPI, THE ORIGINAL CASE
THAT BROUGHT THIS AND YOU HAVE A
20-WEEK BAN IN WISCONSIN, TATE
REEVES SAID THAT THE GOVERNOR OF
MISSISSIPPI WAS ASKED, YOU KNOW,
HE SAID THE TRIGGER LAW WOULD GO
INTO EFFECT, WHICH WOULD BAN ALL
ABORTIONS.
THEN HE WAS ASKED IF HE WOULD GO
FURTHER THAN THAT TO NEXT TARGET
THE USE OF PLAN B, PILLS OR IUDs
AND HE SAID THAT’S NOT WHAT
THEIR FOCUSED ON THIS TIME.
THAT’S THE ARGUMENT THAT YOU
HEAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS
DEBATE, WHICH IS WHERE A LOT OF
PEOPLE ARE.
THEY BELIEVE THAT STATES WILL GO
FAR FURTHER THAN THE 15 OR
20-WEEK BAN THAT THEY’VE BEEN
PUSHING FOR.
>> THAT’S BECAUSE WHERE
PEOPLE -- EVEN PEOPLE IN THE
MIDDLE, THOSE OF US PRO LIFE, WE
WANT TO PROTECT EVERY BABY OUT
THERE FROM CONCEPTION ALL THE
WAY THROUGH NATURAL DEATH WHEN
IT COMES TO PROTECTING THE
INNOCENCE SOCIETY.
I THINK THE AVERAGE PERSON WHO
REALLY JUST DOESN’T PAY A LOT OF
ATTENTION TO THIS ISSUE THAT
BELIEVES BY AND LARGE THE POLLS
SHOW THAT ABORTION IS WRONG BUT
DOESN’T WANT TO GET ENGAGED IN
THE BATTLE WILL BE.
IT’S GOING TO MOVE TO THE
STATES.
GOVERNORS WILL BE ENGAGED IN
THAT ISSUE.
THEY’RE GOING TO BE A PART OF IT
AS ARE THE VOTERS CHOSING WHO
THEY WANT IN OFFICE.
THE REAL EXTREME ARE LIKE RALPH
NORTHRAM TALKING ABOUT HOW THEY
WOULD ALLOW ABORTION THROUGH
BIRTH.
THAT’S WHERE MOST DEMOCRATS ARE
TODAY.
THAT’S THE CONTRAST FROM WHEN A
BABY IS VIABLE, FEELS PAIN,
COMPARING THAT TO WHERE MOST OF
THESE STATES LIKE NEW YORK,
ILLINOIS, CALIFORNIA WILL DO IT
THROUGH BIRTH.
THAT’S RADICAL.
