As he moves closer to an expected White House run, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker has been veering in a more conservative direction regarding issues on which he once kept relatively mum, or held different positions. From his recent embrace of Right to Work legislation, to a change of heart on whether to give undocumented immigrants a path to citizenship, Walker now adds his full support of a 20-week abortion ban to a growing list of evolving positions.
