Actually she did avoid it. She mentioned that "part" of the meaning of submission is respect, which did not answer the question.
CNN disagrees that she said "part." Did CNN get it wrong?
York's question was: "In 2006, when you were running for Congress, you described a moment in your life when your husband said you should study for a degree in tax law. You said you hated the idea. And then you explained, "But the Lord said, 'Be submissive. Wives, you are to be submissive to your husbands.' "
"As president, would you be submissive to your husband?"
Bachmann answered, in part: "Marcus and I will be married for 33 years this September 10th. I'm in love with him. I'm so proud of him. And both he and I -- what submission means to us, if that's what your question is, it means respect.
"I respect my husband. He's a wonderful, godly man, and a great father. And he respects me as his wife."
Bachmann 'submission' question was offensive - CNN
