BOOK: John Edwards Wanted Mistress To Abort Their Baby
Radaronline ^ | 01/27/10 | Staff

When John Edwards discovered that his mistress was pregnant he wanted her to abort their baby and even asked one of his aides to help talk her into doing it.

That revelation comes from The Politician, a new book by Andrew Young, Edwards’ long-time aide. Young helped Edwards cover up his cheating scandal and even publicly claimed to be the father of Rielle Hunter’s baby to mislead the press while Edwards ran for president.

Typical lib. Wanting all the fun of extramarital sex but none of the responsiblities that come along with it.

THAT IS A CLASSIC STATEMENT!!! EXCELLENT!!!

"Edwards is going for the sympathy vote here."

Respectfully, I think you misread the story. She didn't want an abortion, he wanted her to have an abortion. And, he went as far as having one of his flunkies try and talk her into it.

I can't imagine how he thinks that would make him look sympathetic.

That would have been the best thing for him. And being a liberal, he wouldn’t have had any remorse of having her do it. As it is now, that woman is going to make his life miserable. Mrs. Edwards is smart to let the creep go.

Imagine if Edwards had been elected president, then all this came out. He is disgusting!

Whoops. Serves me right. Skimmed it!

She wanted the baby bank account. Seriously, this is a hazard for these wealthy men. It often takes $20,000 to $50,000 a month for baby, plus all the housing expenses for the goldplated babies and baby mommas.

And a couple of hundred thousand a year support for 20 years or so didn’t enter into the picture? NOT.

200K / year to Rielle is small small change compared to what divorce from Elizabeth will cost.

Proven to be what we knew all along.
A trial attorney on top of being an immoral scum bag.
Just the type that shouldn't be anywhere near political office or power.
Nice to see these revelations in book form to blast whatever hell is left in this "pretender."

Guess he wasn’t “channeling” his own kid in the womb.

Guess he only has the ability when there’s a big chunk of money involved.

John, you personally are the world’s best argument for retroactive abortion.

That will boost Edwards’ popularity with the feminist liberals.

Radar on Line and the National Enquirer have been doing more investigating than the mainstreams.

Hopefully they’re still following Edwards around.

"The presidential candidate called her a “crazy slut” to Young"
