Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN), who is a a staunch champion of the religious right and an opponent of President Obama on all things under the sun, has a new line against the Democrats on health care: Keep the government off my body!Well then, I'll let Planned Parenthood, NOW, and women's rights groups know that Republicans lick Bachmann have magically gotten onto the pro-choice bandwagon. I'm sure that'll be news to them, but that seems a pretty clear argument and a rather unequivocal statement to me.Bachmann appeared on Sean Hannity's radio show on Tuesday, and check out what she said, at the 5:35 mark.
"That's why people need to continue to go to the town halls, continue to melt the phone lines of their liberal members of Congress," said Bachmann, "and let them know, under no certain circumstances will I give the government control over my body and my health care decisions."
It's worth repeating that there's nothing in any of the health care bills before Congress that qualifies even remotely as a forced government takeover of American's health choices, but then again logic, honesty or integrity aren't exactly your average Wingnut's strong points.
