Michele Bachmann Stands Up Against National Women’s History Museum
When you have to preface what you’re about to say with the stipulation that “all Republican women are pro-women,” you must think that the following argument might be seen as controversial. That’s precisely what Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) did when she rose to speak before a House vote on a National Women’s History Museum to potentially be established on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.
After stating the she and her Republican colleges of both sexes were unequivocally “pro-women,” Bachmann explained why she intended to vote against the measure. “A no vote on the current legislation, which I advocate for, very simply, is a vote to stand up for the pro-life movement, a vote to stand up for traditional marriage, and a vote to stand up for the traditional family,” she said.
Bachmann argued that if the new museum is built, it will “enshrine the radical feminist movement that stands against the pro-life movement, the pro-family movement, and pro-traditional marriage movement.” While she said she finds the idea of celebrating women “admirable,” she think the museum is planning to do so in the wrong way.
