Focus on the Family, a psychologist-founded evangelical Christian foundation that has, in the past, had no problem lying about various "family" issues, actually released a press release essentially calling evangelical Christian Michele Bachmann a liar.

An embarrassing correction also marked a recent Bachmann move on Capitol Hill. This month, she introduced a bill requiring any woman considering an abortion to undergo an ultrasound that pinpoints the heartbeat of the fetus.

"A study by Focus on the Family found that when women who were undecided about having an abortion were shown an ultrasound image of the baby, 78% chose life," Bachmann said.

That prompted a news release from the conservative organization, which said that while it supported the legislation, it had produced no such report.

"We don't have any 'studies,' and we don't publish any percentages like that," Kelly Rosati, Focus on the Family's vice president of community outreach, said in a statement.
