The pro-choice political action committee EMILY’s List launched a new ad campaign on Monday attacking Gov. Scott Walker (R) on abortion rights.
The ad, which goes on air this week and is fueled by $750,000 statewide from the committee, is meant to help Democratic gubernatorial nominee Mary Burke in the race.
The ad features “Meg,” a nurse practitioner, describing how she was “outraged” when Walker “quietly signed a law trying to restrict doctors from performing abortions. The ad was first reported on Monday by The New York Times.
“Scott Walker wants to make all abortions illegal. Even in the cases of rape and incest,” Meg said. “Look, this is one of the toughest cases a woman has to make. It’s not up to politicians like Scott Walker. Scott Walker needs to get out of my patient’s lives, out of my examining room, and just leave women alone.”
A recent Marquette University poll found Burke leading 54 percent to 40 percent among women voters.
The TPM Polltracker average gives Walker a 1.6 point lead over Burke.

Scott Walker is a wanker . War on Women .
If Walker wins,I’m pretty convinced that he’ll be the GOP 2016 VP nominee if not the POTUS nominee.
Amazing
Walker is despised by minorities, drastically unpopular with an entire gender and still “likely to win”??
Remind me not to get into a political argument with a white male in Wisconsin.
Fear not Teatrolls…some conservative county will magically “find” all sorts of votes for Walker if this comes down to it.
Scott Walker wants to ban abortions in Wisconsin. So far his only achievement is to shut down Planned Parenthood clinics that provide breast-cancer screenings and other preventative health services for women in need.
So if your main priority is to make it more difficult for women to obtain mammograms, Walker is your guy.
