Is Governor Doyle Becoming Pro-Life?

Here's an interesting item that Delores at Red Meat Blog pointed out.

In Governor Doyle's budget, he wants to provide prenatal care for pregnant illegal aliens through BadgerCare, Wisconsin's medical welfare program. The problem is that current law does not allow BadgerCare to provide services to illegal aliens.

To get around this inconvenient fact, Governor Doyle wants to redefine the term "unborn child" for the purposes of BadgerCare. The child in the womb is an American and is eligible for BadgerCare. Here is how Governor Doyle wants to define "unborn child:"

Define, under the BadgerCare statutes, an "unborn child" as a person from the time of conception until it is born alive, and modify the current definition of "child" to specify that it means a person who is born.

I couldn't agree more. It is just unfortunate that Governor Doyle only sees fit to recognize this fact for the purpose of spending Wisconsin citizens' tax dollars on illegal aliens.
