It's not surprising that Michele Bachmann stands conservative on most any issues. Whether it be political or social, Bachmann is most likely not just to the right but all the way right. Below I've listed Bachmann's stances on popular issues and some quotes supporting her position.


Abortion: The big "A" word that is always causing controversy. It is not surprise that Bachmann is AGAINST ABORTION. Not only has Bachmann said, "I am 100 percent pro-life" but she has gone on to support propositions against research of embryonic cells and similiar ideas. There is no way Bachmann is for abortion, which brings in a huge voting bloc of conservative evangelical Christians who are fundamentally against abortion.


Civil Rights: Not too many Bachmann's world unless you are white, Christian, and in the upper class. According to Bachmann, "I'm running for the presidency of the United States. And I don't see that it's the role of a president to go into states and interfere with their state laws. I do support a constitutional amendment on marriage between a man and a woman, but I would not be going into the states to overturn their state law". Clearly she is against gay marriage but her respect for state legislature is reflected since she is currently a senator. She has even gone far with her beliefs to propose a "Marriage Amendment", she said "I was the chief author of a constitutional amendment in the Minnesota Senate defining marriage as between one man and one woman. I will continue to support traditional marriage as a union between a man and woman". If Bachmann becomes president, gay marriage will not reach a federal level for many years.


As a libertarian-leading conservative, Bachmann will remain conservative on most social issues, which leaves many liberals extremely concerned if Bachmann has a chance at the presidency. It will be interesting to see how her beliefs come to light during the debates in the future.
