GOP Congressman Pressured Mistress for Abortion

Huff Post got tape and transcript involving "family values" anti-abortion Tea Party guy, Rep. Scott DesJarlais of Tennessee.  He is not denying this so far but previously denied previous allegations about threatening his wife with gun and more.   He currently is ahead in polls vs. a Democratic state senator.
 "You told me you'd have an abortion, and now we're getting too far along without one," DesJarlais tells the woman at one point in the call while negotiating with her over whether he'll reveal her identity to his wife. They then discuss whether he will accompany her to a procedure to end the sort of life the congressman now describes as "sacred."
