As Twitchy reporter earlier, Wisconsin governor, presumed presidential candidate and “gigantic dork” Scott Walker offered this graphic to commemorate Star Wars Day, and reviews were decidedly mixed.

The abortion enthusiasts at NARAL didn’t just pan the graphic; they responded with one of their own. Is it a simple slam at Walker, or a microaggression against the trans community?

We’re not sure what the #OwnIt hashtag is meant to signify, unless NARAL is taking its Star Wars lore very literally; after all, the “another” mentioned in Walker’s tweet was Princess Leia. How many votes will this gender-bending graphic cost Walker? We’re guessing zero, but NARAL’s interns need something to do. Again, reviews were mixed.
@NARAL @ScottWalker Actually, his ad is kind of clever, while yours is just mean-spirited and hateful, but that's what I expect of NARAL.
