OMG!!! Rep. Michelle Bachmann, R-Looneybin, came out in favor of choice!?!?
Well, probably not intentionally.

After all, she has been getting direct mailings from God telling her to be against it since her prenatal days.

Even so, check out this statement she just came out with, somewhere off the deep end of the right side of the ocean:

"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 and let them know, under no certain circumstances will I give the government control over my body and my
health care decisions."

Wow, no government intrusion over her control over her own body!! Pro-choicers have been waiting for someone from
the whacko right to say that since forever!

(I think she'll be reprhrasing very soon, your honor)

This is from TPM yesterday--apologies if it was already posted and justifiably yukked at.

3. Pro choice conservatives..........
This is awful (I think) but I have read that there is a growing number of conservatives who are pro choice based on the following theory: Since roe vs. wade there has been approx 40 mill+ abortions these people assume that the majority of those getting abortions are of a liberal/progressive bent. They recognize that some "conservatives" (usually teens) seek abortions but with even 25% of 40+ million the "potential vote factor" is "undoubtedly handicapping liberals in general elections." So these fascists pigs now see abortions as potential votes! This is disgusting, is it a vote,fetus, or child? The question for the 21st century.

2. I think this should be spread far an wide
Let her spend all her time explaining to her base, that she didn't mean it when she said:

"Let them know, under no certain circumstances will I give the government control over my body and my health care decisions."

10. Hypocrisy is the norm for Republicon Homelanders
That's why Americans have turned their back on the Republicon Pharisees, and they malinger at the bottom of the respect barrel.

12. Poor, stupid republicans.
They are so confused. "Keep your laws off my body" was only used by the old pro-choice crowd - until now. Cracks me right up. :rofl: Idiots!!

14. I like the one poster with "Keep your laws off my body"
Put her at a pro-choice rally with that exact same sign, and she'll get plenty of high fives
from hundreds of others with signs saying the same thing, all the while screaming, "no, no,
that's not what I meant at all!"
