So, this just crossed our timeline on Scott Walker allegedly saying at CPAC that parents are taking their already-born babies home from the hospital and then aborting them at home. From Alexander Nazaryan, Yahoo News:
Scott Walker, at CPAC, says that people are taking already-born babies home from the hospital and aborting them there. I did not know that was a thing.

These freaking hacks. THAT’S NOT WHAT HE SAID!
Thankfully, Vox’s Aaron Rupar posted the video and even though Rupar is misquoting him, we can hear what Walker really said. As you can hear and see, Walker made a comparison saying that aborting a baby seconds after it’s born is the same as taking a baby home from the hospital and then killing it.
The part in bold is what Rupar left out:
“By the way, it’s not live-birth abortion. It’s not infanticide. It is murder. If you take the baby home and kill the baby at home, it’s murder. And the same thing is true at the hospital.”
Watch:
Holy shit — here's @ScottWalker suggesting some people "take the baby home and kill the baby at home."
"By the way, it's not live-birth abortion. It's not infanticide. It is murder if you take the baby home and kill the baby at home, it's murder."
Nobody disagrees with that! pic.twitter.com/w6Q8B6wDrA

What a dishonest hack:
Aaron, he's comparing aborting a child after it's been born to someone who takes a baby home and kills it there. He's saying it's murder.
If you're going to quote him at least do it accurately. https://t.co/jOv2lT3DeW
