Daily Show: Bachmann Only Supports 'Woman's Right to Choose' Cancer
On Thursday's Daily Show on Comedy Central, Kristen Schaal played the part of "senior women's issues correspondent" to inject humor into the clash between Republican presidential candidates Michele Bachmann and Rick Perry over the Texas governor's support for mandating HPV vaccinations to prevent girls from contracting cervical cancer later in life.
As she weighed which candidate would be best for women, citing Bachmann's opposition to forcing girls to get the vaccine, Schaal cracked that Bachmann only supports a "woman's right to choose" if the choice is to get cancer. Below is a transcript of the relevant portion of the Thursday, September 15, Daily Show with Jon Stewart:
KRISTEN SCHAAL, SENIOR WOMEN'S ISSUES CORRESPONDENT: Well, Jon, now I'm torn. On one hand, Governor Perry is taking care of Texas vaginas, but he did it with a government mandate to force it on young girls. It's like he's trying to turn Texas into some kind of poo nanny state. Michele Bachmann, on the other hand, is arguing for a woman's right to choose, but only if that chioce is getting cancer. The truth is, neither is the strong pro-"vag" candidate women are looking for. But you know who I feel the worst for? The children.
JON STEWART: Because they'll be more likely to get cervical cancer?
SCHAAL: Well, that, but also because they'll never get to play with my Michele Bachmann Big Mouth Billie Vagina.

Shouldn't this be submitted to attackwatch.com! :-) Sorry, I forgot, liberals are allowed to lie especially when it is cloaked as comedy.

When a Republican candidate has the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American College of Ob/Gyn, the American Cancer Society, and the Center for Disease Control issuing statements/emails refuting you, you are not ready for prime-time, Madame. Goodbye.
How about the person Bachmann

How about the person Bachmann said she talked to after the debate?
When the medical community

When the medical community discovers a pathogen that causes wide spread disease and death they will generally recommend that the "Government" step in and "mandate" that in order to attend school or otherwise enjoy the freedoms associated with an open society, that the members of said society have an obligation protect society, as well as themselves, from a contagious disease, through the application of a vaccine.
Government requiring citizens to get vaccines is not a "new" nor "unprecedented" action. While I generally abhor government mandates this is one I fully support.
Have you ever listened to her voice?

"But you know who I feel the worst for? The children."
I also feel sorry for the children, for they have people like YOU trying to control their entire life, pre-natal to grave.

I'm pretty sure CobraMan was referring to liberals in general - but I think you knew that.
Or, at least, I hope you did.
