Michele Bachmann: Free ‘Killer Drugs’ Like Birth Control Make America Unrecognizable

[big_dog]

Rp. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) on Tuesday worried that President Barack Obama and Democrats could withhold life-saving drugs from Americans because they had mandated “killer drugs” like birth control. Following Supreme Court arguments over whether companies could practice a religion and deny contraception to employees based on those beliefs, Bachmann and Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) took to the House floor to blast the Obama administration for mandating birth control coverage in the first place.

“That is government enforced coercion on religious belief,” Bachmann complained. “And it varies at caprice and whim. That’s one thing under the rule of law that has been a pillar of American exceptionalism, the fact that under the rule of law there is certainty for the American people.” “If you looked at the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, you knew with certainty when you woke up tomorrow morning that your religious liberties were intact,” she continued. “Now, apparently today, the gentlemen was in the chamber and heard that, according to at least one Supreme Court justice, in her opinion, they aren’t so much certain anymore.”

“It is not at only the election of the court, but at the election of the unnamed bureaucrat that decides, today we will have these killer drugs that we mandate. Tomorrow, what drugs will they take off the list? Will I not get life-saving drugs that I need to get?” Bachmann went on to suggest that “only politically-connected best friends” of President Obama’s administration would receive certain surgical procedures in the future. “We don’t know!” she insisted. “That means that the president and his administration wins their religious liberty, and the right to force their religious views down the throats of the American people… It’s unlike anything we have ever seen before in the history of the United States of America.”

4. Just what "life-saving drugs" does Michele Bachmann "need" anyway?

She really should be taking something to quiet those voices in her head, anyway. Her statement is damn near unintelligible.

[LeftinOH]

5. Hey, Michelle! Hen piker scribley an aft lifers whose at freedom!

10. How old did she say she was? I lived before birth control was legal. Women died in back alleys or

from using a coat hanger and killing themselves. But wait a minute - has she forgotten that we used condoms for years before the pill? Or they gave their child away and lived to regret it.

Also how many children to her and her husband have? Did she use birth control of any kind?

I do not want to go back to that America that she longs for. It was not a kind America.

The sooner we get rid of her here in MN the better. I continually wonder what the voters are thinking to shame us so.

12. Remember the days when we could hope the Michelle Bachmann's of the world

would slip away quietly when their time in government is over? Those were the days, weren't they? I have no hope of not hearing from or about her even after she's out of office.

14. Tell a woman with Ovarian cysts

that she is taking "killer drugs" when she uses birth control to keep her condition from killing her. Tell a woman that has been warned that if she gets pregnant, it will kill her that she is taking a killer drug. Tell a woman that was raped that the pregnancy from a horrific act she was able to prevent is taking a killer drug.

Tell a man that thinks he is just going to die if he doesn't get it up and takes Viagra that he is taking a killer drug. Oh wait, said no one ever.

[TBF]

15. Michele Bachmann needs to read the establishment

clause again - and this time with comprehension:

U.S. Constitution › First Amendment
First Amendment
Amendment I

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

Michele, you can exercise your religion but you may not make any laws establishing it as law of the land. Christianity is not law in this country - and Islam is not either for that matter.

16. Michelle Bachmann only lived in a world without BC pills

for the first 3 years of her life, not to mentions IUD's and diaphragms. How can she find America unrecognizable with the pill available when it's been available during her entire experiential existence. And so has abortion, except until Roe, abortions were done in Europe if you were lucky, secretly by the family Dr. if you had money, or on kitchen tables and other risky settings if you were lower middle class or poor.

I sure wish we could require a psychiatric evaluation for all people running for Congress in the U.S. Many of them including Bachmann would not be in office.

17. I saw her shopping in the cross department at Hobby Lobby

n/t

[Tsiyu]

18. So why doesn't she have 30 kids?

will no one have sex with her?

Why do all these birth control hater zombies not have scads of children? Do they not have sex either?

Of course, it is a way good thing that Batshit Bachmann didn't spawn an idiot army of her own.....

[okaawhatever]

19. I don't think one person could be more wrong. Not just wrong in beliefs but in the information she

uses to support her bogus arguments. This line was an OMG, WTF line for me:


"Bachmann went on to suggest that “only politically-connected best friends” of President Obama’s administration would receive certain surgical procedures in the future. “We don’t know!” she insisted."

[struggle4progress]

20. Many people will be grateful when her term ends this year

She's not running for re-election, so there's really no need to pay any attention to her at all

[11 Bravo]

21. Who told Bachmann and Gohmert what "caprice" and "whim" mean? I'm guessing ...

that those are words which don't frequently emanate from the mouths of the two dumbest fucking people in Congress.

[spanone]

22. empty heads like bachmann & gohmert make america unrecognizable

[SwankyXomb]

23. Will someone please

hospitalize this woman and get her the heavy duty anti-psychotic medications she so obviously needs?
