Michele Bachmann Anti-Abortion Rally: Former GOP Presidential Candidate Speaks At Event

Michele Bachmann Antiabortion Rally

01/22/12 08:57 PM ET   AP

ST. PAUL, Minn. -- Rep. Michele Bachmann predicted Sunday that the November elections will end abortion as she made her first public appearance in Minnesota since dropping out of the Republican presidential race.

Bachmann said the Supreme Court decision should be repealed within the next year.

"Here on our watch we will stand, we will stand for life, we will never forget, we will never give up, and next year we will gather in a day of celebration when we have finally ended abortion in this all important election," she said. "Join me this year. Choose life."

Bachmann has appeared at few public events in Minnesota in the past half-year, when her focus was on her GOP presidential campaign. She dropped out of the race after finishing sixth in Iowa's leadoff caucuses in early January.

She hasn't said if she'll run for a fourth term in Congress, representing suburbs north and east of the Twin Cities. In response to a question from a reporter, she said she'll give interviews soon on the subject.

Republican Reps. Erik Paulson, Chip Cravaack and John Kline also spoke at the event.

Planned Parenthood officials said they'll oppose any action that limits women's access to health care and legal abortion.

We'd all choose life if you folks weren't so focused on eliminating social safety nets like food stamps, education programs, etc.

A baseless comment from a delusional idiot.

Her crystal ball must have run out of AA batteries. Perhaps she can borrow a couple from some of her other toys?

I don't know if the elections or her appearances will end abortion, but I will say every time she's seen in public there is a boost in the Zero Population Growth polling numbers.

The Conservative Republicans = The gift that just keeps on giving.
I truly hope the American people are paying attention to the cast of characters that the Conservative Republicans have trotted out and offer as leaders. If any of the Republicans were to get into office, the country as a whole would suffer greatly. "Oh Say Can You See?"

That kid wasn't coached AT ALL! Hah. He was SO embarrassed to be put in that position--his mom should be ashamed--SHE should have stayed home, and not done that to her child.

You'd think a potential presidential cadidate could hold her own against a six-year-old.

But not Michele.

She's do daft. That's why she's gone.

The congresswoman's husband, Marcus, was attending a clinical therapist convention/Erasure concert in Ibiza, and was not able to attend.

“I would actually suppor the pro lifers - if they WERE pro life. - Which the are not.

A person who is actually for "life" would not
support wars for profit
torture gays
leave the children they make mothers have to starve in tthe streets
kill a doctor
send mothers to jail for being poor
punish mothers for recieving the education the pro lifers have ruined
support torture
support dictators who rape, murder, and torture

A person who is pro life would be for life and not for suffering. The right to live is not the right to be born, It is the right to pursue happiness and have a chance to find it without committing crimes or being born into the rich 1%.

A person who was pro life would be christian not a religious fanatic.”

Are we now going to have to listen to Bachmann described as a former GOP presidential candidate for the rest of her life? She was a sideshow. Whoever gets the nomination will be the candidate not this ...person.

It's like calling Palin a governor. Yeah, you should probably be able to finish a term to earn the title post-service, but integrity is not a GOP value.

Somehow I don't think so Michelle. All a GOP candidate has to do is say "abortions" and the base whips out their checkbooks. They don't want to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.

She also predicted that she would be our next president. That's not happening, either.
