More 2012: Arizona passes abortion ban

ARIZONA: Political Wire: “Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer (R) "has signed a bill into law banning most abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy and making numerous other changes to abortion regulations," the Arizona Republic reports.”

WASHINGTON: Kucinich is still thinking about a run there: "I haven't really made up my mind what I'm going to be doing with my future. I'm looking at all my options, I haven't made a decision. If I made a decision, I'd tell you right now."

WISCONSIN: Politico’s Hohmann notes that Scott Walker is on air hitting Tom Barrett and Kathleen Falk.

Surprise, surprise - if you cut state funding, the locals have to raise property taxes. Those with affluent tax bases like Waukesha come out fine, but those like Milwaukee, not so well. It's a sneaky way for the GOP to further isolate the poor and piss off the middle class that lives near them.

Back when Roe vs. Wade was decided, the trimester approach was adopted. Viability was at 25-26 weeks. If the science now says that it's 20 weeks, so be it. But the reality is that the GOP poo-poos the science of global climate change, but in the case of abortion chooses to rely on its own quackery science.
