Pro-life Republican berated by CSPAN callers for medical abortion stance: ‘Biggest hypocrite that God created’
Fox News
Rep. Buddy Carter, R-Ga., a former pharmacist, wants to prevent the federal government from forcing pharmacists to dispense abortifacient drugs, and was dragged by CSPAN callers over his position.
Pete Kasperowicz is a politics editor at Fox News Digital. He can be reached at Peter.Kasperowicz@Fox.com and his Twitter handle is @PeteKDCNews.
Carter, who was a pharmacist before being elected to Congress, said the guidance interferes with the doctor-patient relationship and contradicts pharmacists’ training to protect the health of their patients. He also said it goes against laws in several states that allow pharmacists to refuse to fill prescriptions for abortifacient drugs.
On CSPAN’s "Washington Journal" program Friday morning, Carter described his bill and then sat as several callers hurled insults.
