In March, Scott DesJarlais Signed On to a Bill Banning Abortion From the Moment of Fertilization. He Once Urged His Own Patient to Have One.
DesJarlais cosponsored the Life at Conception Act on March 4, 2026 — no exception for rape or incest. Under oath in 2001 he admitted to affairs with patients and coworkers, and a recorded call caught him telling a pregnant patient she had promised him an abortion.
