ContributorNetwork - COMMENTARY | Tea Party leader Michele Bachmann (R-MN) is at it again, once more talking about repealing, disbanding, defunding, or banning something. This time it's pornography. According to ABC News' "The Note," the Minnesota Congresswoman has signed a pledge sponsored by the Family Leader, a conservative Iowa organization, called "The Marriage Vow -- A Declaration of Dependence upon Marriage and Family." The pledge not only calls for a constitutional amendment for the eradication of all pornography, it also calls for recognizing only heterosexual unions in marriage. But the Minnesota Congresswoman seems to have contradicted herself.
