Is she cynically and manipulatively partisan? Is she paranoid? Or just garden-variety nutty?
Her latest is a "creative" misreading of part of the Finance Committee health care reform bill. She refers to a section concerning "school based health care clinics" which, if established, would seek to reduce absences from illness and provide on site support for those who become ill at school. It makes no mention of abortion and in fact stipulates that services will be in accord with laws governing parental consent for services.
And speaking on the House floor, here's what the wild-eyed Michele turns that into. She refers to the "school based health clinics" as "sex clinics" and suggested that schools would begin offering abortion to students. And more . . . [sorry, but purple seems the only appropriate color]
The bill goes on to say what's going to go on -- comprehensive primary health services, physicals, treatment of minor acute medical conditions, referrals to follow-up for specialty care -- is that abortion? Does that mean that someone's 13 year-old daughter could walk into a sex clinic, have a pregnancy test done, be taken away to the local Planned Parenthood abortion clinic, have their abortion, be back and go home on the school bus that night? Mom and dad are never the wiser.I kid you not. Such drooling, driveling nonsense . . . . spoken in a session of Congress, which means it will be forever inscribed in the Congressional Record.
She's no longer funny.
