Akin, a six-term congressman from the St. Louis area, reacted to the new remarks by releasing a statement from Abby Johnson, whom the campaign identified as a former Planned Parenthood director in Bryan, Texas, from 2007-2009.
“I can attest that when I served as director…we often scared women into getting services they did not need — including abortion — so we could collect the fees,” Johnson said. “This included women who were not pregnant and women who were in the process of miscarrying.
“Anyone that would attack Congressman Todd Akin for his factual comments on the House floor in 2008 are misguided at best.”
To safely assist a woman in the process of a spontaneous abortion (miscarriage) is an important function, not a fraudulant activity. However, for this former PP employee to openly admit to lying to girls and women in order to perform a procedure simply for the money is stunning. Has she no idea that she's leaving herself open to criminal charges if what she's saying is in fact true? How unbelievably corrupt and without scruples.
He didn't say THEY ARE GIVING ABORTIONS TO WOMEN WHO AREN'T PREGNANT.
He said, that a culture of death will bring other kinds of law breaking such as cheating on taxes, giving abortions to women who aren't preggers, misuse of anesthetics.
He gave a list of examples of what he thinks other kinds of lawbreaking is, and that includes giving women abortions who don't need them. By that he means committing medicaid fraud. Because clinics would submit paperwork to be reimbursed by the feds for ABORTIONS THAT NEVER HAPPENED.
So what?
Does that mean that abortion should be banned? Are we going to ban ALL procedures that have ever been fraudulently subitted to medicaid?
What kind of logic is that?
Does he think that banning abortion will wipe out Medicaid fraud? Really?
The problem is the culture of GREED......and banning abortion isn't going to change that.
The man is certifiable.....no matter which way you look at his comment.
There was an abortionist here who was sentenced to prison for similar fraud. Actually he was sometimes saving babies to sell them. He would even tell the women that at a certain stage of the pregnancy an abortion was too dangerous and he'd have them come back when the baby would be older and might survive an early delivery and sold them on the black market. And apparently did abortions on women who weren't pregnant - but that's actually much better than killing actual babies.
When someone makes killing tiny humans their livelihood, what would you put past them?

Again I say.....so what?
There are criminals in every profession.....including religious leaders.
Another fine example of what is wrong with the Republican party. Their tent is too big. There are simply too many people like this dude under the tent.
