As we said in a posting last night - Presidential contender Michele Bachmann has strong prolife activist background
At the debate last night, this coverage from The Weekly Standard -
"I am 100 percent pro-life. ..."
She also deftly handled a question that could have been tricky for her. A reporter asked: "Governor Pawlenty says he opposes abortion rights except in cases of rape, incest, or when the mother’s life is at stake. Do you have any problem with that position? And if so, why?"
Bachmann's response in full:
"I am 100 percent pro-life. I’ve given birth to five babies, and I’ve taken 23 foster children into my home. I believe in the dignity of life from conception until natural death. I believe in the sanctity of human life."
"And I think the most eloquent words ever written were those in our Declaration of Independence that said it’s a Creator who endowed us with inalienable rights, given to us from God, not from government. And the beauty of that is that government cannot take those rights away. Only God can give, and only God can take."
