Michele Bachmann: “The gentleman is exactly right because if you have an international body, whether it is the U.N. or some other…”

“The gentleman is exactly right because if you have an international body, whether it is the U.N. or some other international body--we know that the largest bloc in the U.N. is the OIC, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation. And the number one agenda item of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation is to criminalize speech, any speech that they consider as an insult to their prophet. So we would see across the world again a silencing of freedom of speech and expression dictated in all likelihood by this large bloc at the U.N., which takes us back to religious liberty here in the United States. As the gentleman asked in his original question, what about this idea of the government being able to tax us for religious speech? I believe that if we lose this case, this will set the precedent that the government will then be able to dictate and decide any practice that touches our religious belief. So, for instance, if you are in a doctor's office or if you are in a counselor's office or a therapist's office, the government could conceivably then dictate to the therapist what the therapist can say or not say in that office; or likewise, a doctor, what they can say or not say. {time} 1545 Let's remember, again, what this is. This isn't a company imposing its beliefs on employees because employees are free to buy whatever they want to buy in health care. This is the government. This is government censorship.…”
