Is Bachmann Opposed to Helping Adoptive Parents?

A loyal reader sent us this note:

WHY DOES MICHELE BACHMANN OPPOSE HELPING ADOPTIVE PARENTS?

Michele Bachmann never passes up an opportunity to remind anyone who will listen that she and Marcus "have opened our home to 23 foster children." What she won't tell you is she's working day and night to repeal a $1,000 increase in the federal tax credit for adoptions.

The "Obamacare" health care reform bill that Bachmann is demonizing raises the federal adoption credit to $13,170 per child starting with 2010 taxes.

Maybe Bachmann's mouthpiece will come around to say she didn't really mean she wants to repeal that part of the heath care bill.


Also in Alternet's 10 Things You Didn't Know Were in the Health Care Bill; The bill restores federal funding for abstinence-only education.
