MILWAUKEE - We welcome Planned Parenthood Advocates of Wisconsin executive director, Tanya Atkinson, to discuss Scott Walker's new false ad that defends his record on women's health such as forced vaginal ultrasounds.  We also talk about Republican AG candidate Brad Schimel's bad week, including a statement that he would have defended a ban on interracial marriage.  Our panel also dissect the Walker Administration's declaration that $7.25/hour is a living wage.
