This is a classic case of liberal media outlets once again twisting the Congresswoman’s words. As a foster mom of 23, she has a long track record of standing up for foster children and orphans. Her concern was that our foster care system, which is already short on foster care parents, would not have the capacity to handle this surge of unaccompanied children. And a child without parents to advocate on their behalf could be vulnerable to what Justina Pelletier experienced as a ward of the state, which is why the Congresswoman introduced a bipartisan bill to help protect our most vulnerable. Your sensational headline is a gross misrepresentation of what she actually said and what Justina’s Law actually does.

Well to be fair I do have a problem with the way Huffington Post sensationalizes in their headlines. for example this article was entitled

"Michele Bachmann: Government Wants To Experiment On Undocumented Children"

I thought that was over the top, she never said those exact words, so I used a different title for this thread.

However that doesn't diminish in any way the fact that Michele Bachman is batshit crazy, as her own words clearly demonstrate.
