Today's Lady News: Lesbian Representative Tammy Baldwin Runs For Senate

• Rep. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), the only lesbian in Congress, has announced she will run for an open senatorial seat in 2012. If elected, Baldwin would become the nation's first openly gay senator. [Pink News UK
• Rep. Michele Bachmann said this weekend that she would confront the Supreme Court over abortion rights if elected president. Not that there's a snowball's chance in hell she'd ever be elected president, but I am grateful to our Founding Fathers for the three branches of government. [Huffington Post]
• Not to be left out, Mitt Romney is also pandering to religious conservatives who want to restrict a woman's right to control her own body. Sigh. It's going to be a long election season. [Think Progress]
