This is like where Santorum said the constitution grants states the power to regulate contraception gets translated to "Santorum wants to ban birth control"
Here's what Bachmann said:
"Going with that logic, according to our own Health and Human Services secretary, it isn’t far-fetched to think that the president of the United States could say 'We need to save health care expenses. The federal government will only pay for one baby to be born in the hospital per family, or two babies to be born per family.' That could happen. We think it couldn’t?"
She's absolutely right. If the government can mandate that something IS covered, why can't they mandate that something ISN'T covered? What she DIDN'T say was that we'd have a Chinese one child policy. That's just liberals mischaracterizing her quote.
You liberals just love "gotcha politics". Maybe one day you'll try actually standing on principle and the issues instead of manuplation and lies.

Actually, the bold is "gotcha politics". There has never been any such proposal. Bachmann made this up out of thin air.
If Obama isn't elected all children under the age of 13 will be killed and no one will be allowed to have children. Also we will all be forced to change our names to Bob Bobberson causing mass confusion.
Seriously, what a steaming pile of poop from Bachman. Really, where are the real issues?
I think she was speaking to it, but you just can't see it.
I don't know what is more pathetic, Bachmann's statements or the fact that so many idiots defend her comments.
Bachmann was using a bad example to illustrate what we are allowing our government to become.
As i already pointed out, what Obama and the HHS have done is to empower the government to:
1) create laws to demand private citizens to buy a specific product, or face fines and/or imprisonment.
2) ...and then to demand that we then give away that product for free
3) that the Establishment Clause and the Free Exercise Clause are no longer respected nor protected by our federal government.
The Establishment Clause and the Free Exercise Clause together read: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..."
If what Obama is doing is allowed to stand, we will no longer be a free people, we will be completely and utterly controlled by the government. According to Obama, if he or any future president, thinks there is some product or service they think we should buy, or some action they think we should perform, they can force us to do it, by asking agencies like the HHS to write new law, new regulations, and impose new fines and punishments.
No, actually, it isn't. Look up what gotcha politics means.

Yes she did. And she didn't claim otherwise. She stated it AS A HYPOTHETICAL.
Which was exactly my point in my original post. That liberals are twisting hypothetical what-if comments as being far more than that. And in trying to argue against that, you've just done it yourself. So thank you for proving my point.
So the alternative under Santorum is each female, without any fertility control at all, become a "full Quiver" with 12+ births each. Now that would be an alternative to immigration. It would provide a nearly endless supply of potential workers desperate to be exploited. Great idea if you are the exploiter. Given that Santorum also is a blatant Catholic it would probably be good for the church by providing a new cohort of kids to abuse.
Can’t happen here? Top academics and eugenicists are calling for what Obama’s science czar once advocated.
This picture breaks my heart.
