Oklahoma Senator is Pro-Breast



The fact that Oklahomans could elect Tom Coburn to the Senate when they had a moderate/conservative option in Brad Carson is simply mind-boggling. Here's a sample of what you can expect from the esteemed senator from Oklahoma.

The physician and new member of the Senate Judiciary Committee had this to say at a meeting last week about a bill that would restrict class-action suits:

"You know, I immediately thought about silicone breast implants and the legal wrangling and the class-action suits off that. And I thought I would just share with you what science says today about silicone breast implants. If you have them, you're healthier than if you don't. That is what the ultimate science shows....In fact, there's no science that shows that silicone breast implants are detrimental and, in fact, they make you healthier."
