I know nothing about this fellow. One poster accused him of previously performing abortions. Anyone know?

Civil disobedience may become the order of the day(s). We have a higher law and King to serve.
 
Sen. Coburn has never been an abortionist. He is a passionate pro-lifer. When he says he’d go to jail before performing an abortion, he means. He is a practicing oby-gyn…Roanoker
 
So what did this guy do before Bush inacted the ‘Conscience Clause’? Was he being forced to perform abortions pre-Bush?

I question how pro-life this guy really is with quotes like this:

“I favor the death penalty for abortionists and other people who take life.”
I do like his stand against funding the Iraqi War though:

On May 24, 2007 the US Senate voted 80-14 to fund the war in Iraq. Coburn voted nay.

On October 1, 2007 the US Senate voted 92-3 to fund the war in Iraq. Coburn voted nay.

In February 2008, Coburn said, “I will tell you personally that I think it was probably a mistake going to Iraq.”

That’s so funny cause that is exactly how I felt when Bush led us to war in Iraq for greed and oil.

First of all, get it straight, I am not a Republican and definitely not a Dem. I just find it ironic that someone to the left of right finds it okay to “judge” another person, even our fallible ex. Usually the “judgement” shot is said to be a failing of the right by the left. We are SO JUDGEMENTAL!!!
