“Michele Bachmann spoke candidly Wednesday night about suffering a miscarriage.”
“‘After our second child was born, we became pregnant with a third baby,’ the Republican presidential candidate told hundreds during a town hall at Winthrop University here. ‘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.’”
“The surprise disclosure came as she explained her opposition to abortion.”
“‘And at that moment we didn’t think of ourselves as overly career minded or overly materialistic,’ she said, also speaking for her husband. ‘When we lost that child, it changed us. And it changed us forever.’”
“Considering the sensitivity of the subject matter, Bachmann maintained remarkable composure. She did not choke up.”
“‘So we made a commitment that no matter how many children were brought into our life, we’d receive them because we’re committed to life,’ she said. ‘And we didn’t know at that time we’d be foster parents, and that one day we’d be parents of 28 children, but we are extremely grateful for that opportunity because you can get money wrong, but you can’t get life wrong. And I am committed to life.’”
“Bachmann has raised five biological children. The youngest just graduated from high school. Over the years, she and her husband took 23 foster children into their home.”
“‘This is an easy one,’ she said of abortion. ‘I am 100% pro-life, from conception until natural death.’”
