MORE ON BACHMANN AND THE SCHIAVO DISGRACE

I noted below that Michele Bachmann was part of the disgusting campaign to keep Terri Schiavo alive despite her husband's claim that Terri wouldn't want to continue in that state.  Think Progress has more information about her position:
(4) BACHMANN CLAIMED TERRI SCHIAVO WAS ‘HEALTHY’: Not long after Terri Schiavo died, Bachmann said she would have voted for the Palm Sunday Compromise because Schiavo “was healthy. She had brain damage — there was brain damage, there was no question. But from a health point of view, she was not terminally ill.” An autopsy found that Schiavo had suffered irreversible brain damage and her brain, said the medical examiner, was “profoundly atrophied.”
