Now she’s done it again. Bachmann just became the first candidate to sign “The Marriage Vow: A Declaration of Dependence Upon Marriage and Family,” a four-page pledge put out by prominent Iowa social conservative Bob Vander Plaats.
The pledge (which comprises two pages of pledge, two pages of endnotes) covers a lot more than just marriage.
There is, for example, this gratuitous reference to slavery in the preface to the pledge:
Slavery had a disastrous impact on African-American families, yet sadly a child born in to slavery in 1860 was more likely to be raised by his mother and father in a two-parent household than was an African- American baby born after the election of the USA’s first African-American President.
