Secular Café: Anti-Abortion Politician - Abortion on Command

For serious discussion of politics, political news, policy, political theory and economics and events happening round the world
Anti-Abortion Politician - Abortion on Command

Leaked: Phone conversations of pro-life Tea Party Congressman Pressuring one of his Lovers into an Abortion | FreakOutNation
Quote:

Information obtained by FreakOutNation results in a convoluted tale of jaw dropping hypocrisy by one Tea Party Congressman. Meet Tea Party backed, pro-life Congressman Scott DesJalais of Tennessee, who in fact, had an affair with one of his patients, then pressured her to get an abortion. This is well documented in a telephone transcript, which is now made public.
When confronted with this evidence, he responded
Quote:

Desperate personal attacks do not solve our nation's problems, yet it appears my opponents are choosing to once again engage in the same gutter politics that CBS news called the dirtiest in the nation just 2 years ago.
Back to the article.
Quote:

The transcript received paints a different picture of the Congressman — a darker picture. DesJarlais prompted one of his many lovers into getting an abortion. In fact, the Congressman doesn't seem too keen on accompanying the young lady when undergoing the procedure.
