Yes, we’re still having a “contraception debate,” and Michele Bachmann has now said words about it and
Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) is warning that the Obama administration’s contraception insurance mandate could put America on a slippery slope — to a totalitarian one-child policy.
Oh dear God.

Why is she being so RUDE to our President?
Wait, allowing women to make their own reproductive choices will lead to the government making choices for women?
So let me analyze this, if I am able.
Requiring an _-_insurance company_-_ to give a woman the financial freedom (of sorts, I’m sure copays will apply) to decide how many children to have (even if that number is zero) will lead to the -_-government-_- deciding how many babies a woman may have???
Were she arguing that it could lead to *insurance companies* doing this, I might be able to follow the logic. Were she arguing that the government via Medicare/Medicaid could end up doing this, I might be able to get a glimpse of this slippery slope of which she speaks.
But arguing that a proposed law applicable to the orange(s) will cause the banana to drastically mutate – methinks someone explained {or thought s/he did} to her the great American fear of slippery slopes [because we all know how motivated sheep are by fear] and she dashed off into the wild blue yonder with it.
How the idiocy abounds…
Thank you Republicans for sending Michele back to Minnesota. Really couldn’t you have kept on the road longer!?!?
At least all she needs to do to show her craziness is open her mouth.
Hopefully re-districting and trying to get re-elected with keep her out of the national spotlight for a bit, which means were still stuck with her in Mn.
Sigh.
Umm, no Michelle.
It’s only Republicans that want to control women’s bodies and sex lives.
