YouTube Description
as posted by the channel"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."*
Pro-lifer Rep. Scott Desjarlais gave his wife and mistresses the choice to get abortions, but he wants to take that right away from women he isn't having sex with? Cenk Uygur breaks down Desjarlais' comments on his hypocritical actions; he says his views have "evolved."
