Why would you remove a third-party program to reduce the costs above if you're interest in saving money?

Well, they'd like to remove those programs too, I bet. But I suspect there's some "OMG CONTRACEPTION IS MURDER" along with some "DO NOT REGULATE BUSINESS" plus the theme of this year it seems: "HEY GUYZ, LETS VOTE ON ANYTHING THAT TARGETS WOMEN. MAYBE THEY'LL GO BACK TO TEH KITCHEN AND MAKE US SAMMICHS."

Seriously.

Also, Walker already tried to cut the Medicaid program for these children. This was in his original proposal. When someone pointed out that this is highly illegal, he admitted he hadn't really checked on that.
