There’s a third one?

It’s quite common for defenders of traditional values to be caught in extramarital affairs or popping pills of dubious legality. For some reason, such scandals appear to be much rarer for abortions. (There were only two instances here and I’m sure they were thorough.) Maybe we uptight reactionaries really do take abortion more seriously than mere vices.

A corollary to the above: You can’t blame the pro-life movement on hatred of pleasure.

I think he aimed for Boston Tea Party, and wound up down the rabbit hole tea party.

Jesus never said that, but lots of people claim it. Read the red parts.

What level of cretin would it take to look at that ad and think “By golly, I’m gonna vote for him, he’s one kinda smart doctor.” Because, you know, somebody did.

But how will we know to abort only the gay liberal fetuses? No, the ethical thing to do is to wait until they grow up gay or liberal, and then kill them. That’s what the Bible says, or if it doesn’t, it should.

I have a horrifying feeling that this dumb fucker is who Todd Akin was talking about in 2008, about abortion doctors performing abortions on women who weren’t even pregnant.

Oooooor he’s just a hypocritical dishonest adulterer. Heeeeeey, there seem to be a lot of those running on family values campaigns. Strange…

If you subscribe to the notion that “abortion is murder” then this defense basically boils down to “I just told my wife that I hired a hitman to help my marriage.”

… she came into his practice and disrobed…

WHAT did you expect him to do? Keep it in his pants?

WHY was he supposed to know she would get pregnant? Since he was in a position of trust, it should’ve been rape, and thus HOW could she get pregnant?

It’s like everything they taught him at teh Jim Bakker School of Medicine went horribly, horribly wrong. Poor guy, ya gotta pity him

Judging by this flailing dope’s performance so far, I wouldn’t be shocked to see him bring that into it as well.

So, he threatened his victim/ex-wife with a gun and once held a firearm in his own mouth for hours and he goaded (“pretended to”) his victim/patient/paramour to an abortion.
See the pattern?
He has a thing for playing life and death scenes.
Heavy handed manipulator, violent drama queen.

He shouldn’t be a physician. Or congresscritter.
Who the hell trusts this man?

State medical boards are not fond of the whole sex with patients thing. Even sex with former patients can be problematic. This admission could lead to an investigation that adversely affects his licensure.

I guess he feels that floating this obvious lie is an improvement on actually having tried to get her to have an abortion. Just goes to show you how these people think.

An abortion is a pretty reliable way of keeping a fetus from turning all gay on you…

Ah, you are ignoring the important part. Since she was being coerced, this doesn’t count as ‘pro choice’, and moral order is upheld!
