“A sterilization Coburn performed on a 20-year-old woman, Angela Plummer, in 1990 became what was called “the most incendiary issue” of his Senate campaign. Coburn performed the sterilization on the woman during an emergency surgery to treat a life-threatening ectopic pregnancy, removing her intact fallopian tube as well as the one damaged by the surgery. The woman sued Coburn, alleging that he did not have consent to sterilize her, while Coburn claimed he had her oral consent. The lawsuit was ultimately dismissed with no finding of liability on Coburn’s part.”

You remember, don’t you? While you under the anesthetic and I said you don’t want to ever have babies again, do you? And the anesthesiologist waggled her head back and forth.?

What a vile pile of muckrake! And to what end? Is not the notion that it was Emergency Surgery for a ectopic (pregnancy inside the fallopian tube, not the Uterus) pregnancy, and that a lawsuit was dismissed, sufficient information to convey some sort of comprehension on your part?

Tom Coburn is Pro-life. Beyond that he is a very skilled Medical Doctor and Surgeon. I do not believe that he would have done such an unethical thing as you are insinuating, and that his actions were both necessary and appropriate to the circumstances he found himself dealing with. I think it is disgusting that you would suggest such a thing.

What motivates you to make such ugly insinuations regarding that good man?
