Pro-Life Tennessee Congressman Urged Abortion for His Mistress

Ho hum. Another day, another story about hypocrisy.

Fourth District Tennessee Congressman Scott DesJarlais, who is also a physician, has had some embarrassing revelations come to light concerning his marriage and one of his former mistresses.

The most damning details come from the transcript of a phone conversation DesJarlais had with a mistress, a former patient, in which he urged her to have an abortion. Needless to say, DesJarlais, who was elected to Congress in 2010 as a Tea Party Republican, is stridently ‘pro-life.’

Details — and lots of them — can be found at the link above.
