Democrats Attack Sen. Tom Coburn For Free Baby Deliveries
Democrats are trying to get the ethics committee to censure Senator Tom Coburn in retaliation for his hard line against spending. What great breach of ethics is Coburn committing? The crime of traveling from Washington back to his home state of Oklahoma every weekend to deliver babies for free.
Sen. Coburn is also Dr. Coburn and has maintained his medical practice while serving as a U.S. Senator. He accepts no payment for his medical services, and spends tens of thousands of dollars out of his own pocket for medical malpractice insurance and other expenses.
Coburn believes in being a “citizen legislator” and plans to return to his practice full-time in 2016 at the end of his second term.
This should be a good fight, I can’t wait to watch Democrats demonize Coburn for giving free health care to his constituents.
As Michelle points out, If Coburn were giving away free abortions backs home you wouldn’t hear a peep out of Democrats.
