Wallace asks Bachmann if she's a 'flake'

Chris Wallace apologized after harshly questioning Michele Bachmann and asking her if she was a 'flake' or not. But the damage has been done - the left will cling to the fact that even Fox News called Bachmann a flake. Glenn initially defended Wallace, but admitted he only read the transcript. Would hearing the audio change his mind? Ref. Source 2

Bachmann: "Devastating" Miscarriage Shaped Pro-Life Abortion Views

Campaigning in South Carolina, Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann said a "devastating" miscarriage helped shape her pro-life views on abortion. The compelling personal story ties in to her rationale for becoming a foster care mom.

While on the campaign trail in Rock Hill, South Carolina, the Minnesota congresswoman revealed she had a miscarriage decades ago and that the event led her to solidify her pro-life views and prompted her and her husband to become a foster home to 23 children over the years.

"After our second child was born, we became pregnant with a third baby," Bachmann said, according to a Politico report. "And it was an unexpected baby, but of course we were delighted to have this child. And the child was coming along, and we ended up losing that child. And it was devastating for both of us, as you can imagine if any of you have lost a child."

She said the miscarriage also prompted Bachmann and her husband Marcus to re-evaluate their personal and professional life goals.

"At that moment we didn't think of ourselves as overly career minded or overly materialistic," she said, according to Politico. "When we lost that child, it changed us. And it changed us forever."

"We made a commitment that no matter how many children were brought into our life, we would receive them because we are committed to life," she added. Ref. Source 6

Bachmann: Christian Writer Francis Schaeffer Shaped Pro-Life Views

Congresswoman Michele Bachmann is one of the several pro-life advocates seeking the Republican nomination to face pro-abortion President Barack Obama and she cites Christian writer Francis Schaeffer as an influence on her pro-life views.

In a campaign stop to speak to local residents at a church in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Bachmann shared her testimony and talked about the Christian faith she and her husband share. That faith, which has matured thanks to the writings of Schaeffer, has led Bachman to a pro-life view that has seen her compile a 100% pro-life voting record in Congress and adopt dozens of foster children.

"One thing that Dr. Schaeffer said is that [God is] not just the God of theology. He's not just the God of the Bible," Bachmann said, according to the Des Moines Register. "Since he is the Creator God, he's the father of biology, sociology, of political science, of you name the subject. "¦ And that altered our way of thinking, that God had something to say about our career."

"Francis Schaeffer also said that life is the watershed issue of our time, and how we come down on how we view human life will impact all other issues," she said. "And so Marcus and I decided we didn't want to be pro-life only, just as speaking"¦ We wanted to live a life of being about pro-life." Ref. Source 7

Glenn's interview with Congresswoman Bachmann

Presidential candidate and Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann took time out of her busy schedule and stopped by Glenn's NYC radio studio today for an interview. Glenn believes Bachmann is one of the few trustworthy people in Washington, D.C. And it's hard not to admire her when hearing just a portion of where she derives her beliefs. Glenn and Bachmann attended the same event last night (Zionist Organization of America's Justice Louis D. Brandeis Award Dinner) and the pair talked about the perilous state Israel is in. Ref.
