Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) went off on a rant last week accusing President Obama and other Democrats of having the power to deny citizens life-saving drugs because they had mandated the “killer drug” birth control.
Bachmann took to the House floor in the wake of the Hobby Lobby birth control case, currently being decided by the Supreme Court.
“If you looked at the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, you knew with certainty when you woke up tomorrow morning that your religious liberties were intact. Now, apparently today, the gentlemen was in the chamber and heard that, according to at least one Supreme Court justice, in her opinion, they aren’t so much certain anymore.”
“It is not at only the election of the court, but at the election of the unnamed bureaucrat that decides, today we will have these killer drugs that we mandate. Tomorrow, what drugs will they take off the list? Will I not get life-saving drugs that I need to get?”
Bachmann went on to accuse Pres. Obama of wielding the power to decide who can obtain access to certain medical procedures, and continued about religious liberties.
“That means that the president and his administration wins their religious liberty, and the right to force their religious views down the throats of the American people… It’s unlike anything we have ever seen before in the history of the United States of America.”
“The American people better wake up quick because we are living in a country we no longer recognize.”
