Bachmann opposes proposed national women's history museum....says it will be a "shrine to abortion"

Michele Bachmann Rails Against Proposed National Women's History Museum
Posted: 05/07/2014 5:12 pm EDT


WASHINGTON -- A House bill to establish a bipartisan commission on the creation of the first national women's history museum might sound pretty noncontroversial -- but it has deeply upset Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.).

"I rise today in opposition to this bill, because I believe ultimately this museum that will be built on the National Mall, on federal land, will enshrine the radical feminist movement that stands against the pro-life movement, the pro-family movement, and pro-traditional marriage movement," Bachmann said on the House floor Wednesday ahead of a vote on the bill.

"As it's currently written," she added, "the legislation lacks the necessary safeguards to ensure the proposed museum will not become an ideological shrine to abortion that will eventually receive federal funding and a prominent spot on the National Mall."

It is beyond pathetic that someone can autopilot a political career in Congress.

I'll never understand how someone so out of touch with reality can
get any votes from her constituents let alone win the election.

Or, maybe they just don't like her in the neighborhood and they figured this was the best way to keep her out of town!

That if women had just remained docile instead of becoming radicalized, Bachmann would still have been elected to Congress...

No offense to intended to the mentally challenged, they're doing the best with what they have. Bachmann is intentionally eschewing what she had.

And why are Republican men obsessed with male-to-male homosexual sex?



It's not any of their goddamn business what other people do, so long as it doesn't hurt them (the politicians).

taking off her makeup, brushing her teeth, running a brush through her hair a hundred or so times…does she think "man, I can't believe I'm getting away with this shit." Or, is she truly and irrevocably insane. Well upon reflection, I think "the eyes" have it...
