from the DumpMicheleBachmann blog:
The anti-abortion group Susan B. Anthony List sends this over the Christian News Wire:In her testimony on the House floor, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) referenced a recent Wall Street Journal investigation highlighting Planned Parenthood's recent appeal to the affluent in her congressional district. The article cited opening of "express centers in wealthy Minnesota suburbs" with the purposes of appealing to women who are "already doing their grocery shopping, picking up their Starbucks, living their daily lives."
"They are big business. They are the Wal-Mart of big abortion," said Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN). "They are the big box retailer. It's time to end their tax exempt status. It's a fraud. It is time to stop the public financing of Planned Parenthood -- it is the right thing to do."This is Bachmann's bio on the Susan B. Anthony List:Michele Bachmann was elected to the House of Representatives in 2006 to serve Minnesota's 6th Congressional District. Congresswoman Bachmann is a former State Senator where she served as a leading advocate on pro-life issues. Michele was the chief Senate sponsor of Minnesota's "Terri Schiavo" legislation to protect the disabled and the elderly. She also regularly spoke on the floor of the Minnesota Senate in favor of pro-life legislation like the Women's Right to Know and Fetal Pain bills.
In college, after watching Francis Schaffer's "How Shall We Then Live," Michele decided to take up the cause for Life. She began praying outside abortion clinics and served as a sidewalk counselor to young women considering abortions. Her passion for women and the unborn has only increased since then, and she is now a well-respected pro-life advocate.
Michele is married to Marcus Bachmann, and they have five children. Michele and Marcus have also served as foster parents to over 23 at-risk teen women.http://dumpbachmann.blogspot.com/2008/07/michele-bachmann-calls-planned.html
