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.

DUH!
What a piece of crap Edwards is.
Shame on those liberals that were too dumb to look into his eyes and see what a piece of human garbage he was.
Great, a rag magazine for a rag politician. That’s what Free Republic is all about.
Typical lib. Wanting all the fun of extramarital sex but none of the responsiblities that come along with it.
Eventually they'll go biologically extinct.
Shame for liberals? He's living the liberal lifestyle. They applaud him.
What a compassionate man....
It is a rag, but it and the National Enquirer have been the ONLY ones willing to print the stories that "real media" ignored for almost two years.
ABC's 20/20 is having an hour long interview with the books author. We shall see if this tidbit is discussed. I wouldn't hold your breath.
Edwards is such a bottom feeding sc_ _ bag...
Considering an abortion is one thing.
Having it recorded in a book and in perpetuity on the google archives for the child to read growing up...wow. wow.
Lawdy, that's a good point I didn't even think about. It was bad enough that Edwards publicly denied the child's parentage, when he clearly knew it was his. But, to be on the record advocating for your daughters murder, that quite something else. Poor kid, I don't care what kind of environment he'll provide for her moving forward. That's some baggage.
Maybe Edwards should buy commercial time at Super Bowl and tells us how an abortion would have been the right thing to do.
I was thinking of his other kids as well. Gosh....could you imagine?
Don’t believe it for a minute.
The first thing women do when with wealthy men is to have that baby.
The baby is the bank account.
Edwards is going for the sympathy vote here.
We should make this into another SuperBowl ad.
Tebow ad then the Edwards ad.
He sickens me. Didn’t he “moderate” the voice of a dead fetus years ago to win a court case? Grrrrrrr!
I thought John Edwards could communicate with unborn children. Didn’t he do that in a trial?
