Rep. Scott DesJarlais (R-TN), the former physician turned
anti-abortion Tennessee Republican congressman, says he hadn’t given abortion as much thought as he “should have” when he supported his first wife’s decisions to have two abortions, and that he often used “very
poor judgment” during his first marriage and the separation that
followed it.
He now looks back with regret, he says, on the sexual relationships
he had with two patients, three co-workers and a drug company
representative while he was chief of staff at Grandview Medical Center
in Jasper.
DesJarlais won reelection
earlier this month, despite the campaign-season revelation that, over a
decade ago, he pressured a mistress to have an abortion. In October, he
had explained that story by saying he didn’t believe his mistress was
really pregnant at the time, and had urged her to get an abortion to
call her bluff.
You know, I could have posted a picture of DesJarlais, but I did not want his mug on my blog. The leopard says he's changed his spots and repented of his wayward ways.
From his website:
Abortion – All life should be cherished and protected. We are pro-life.
Oops! all those years ago, DesJarlais wasn't thinking...three times. He will run for reelection in 2014.
