A couple weeks back, we told you about the Oregon Republican Party's nominee for Congress, Mike Erickson, who allegedly drove his girlfriend to an abortion clinic. Erickson, of course, is running on a staunch pro-Life platform.

Now, his ex has come forward to confirm the rumors... and more damaging details...

[T]he Oregon City woman said she met Erickson in September 2000 and that she had the abortion in January 2001. They saw each other afterward, she said, even going on a trip to Mexico in March, before the relationship ended. She spoke on the condition that only her first name, Tawnya, be used.

Erickson agrees that he gave Tawnya $300 for medical help, and a ride to a doctor's office, but said he didn't know she was pregnant or planned to get an abortion.

Tawnya, now 34, recalled sitting with Erickson that January, parked across from the abortion clinic.

"I asked him, 'Are you sure you don't want a baby?' " she said. "He shook his head. I opened the door, got out bawling and crossed the street and walked up to the clinic."

Erickson... told The Oregonian he didn't remember many details about their relationship, including where they met or when they dated.

This guy is the worst liar ever-- first of all, he actually admits to giving a woman he was just "dating" $300 for medical care, but has no idea what it was for and can't even remember the details of their relationship?

"Did I pay for an abortion? Absolutely not," Erickson said.

"She was having some financial troubles," he said. "She asked for some money to go have a doctor's appointment — not knowing what that was — and whatever happened, happened, I guess. I didn't even know she had an abortion."

We almost laughed out loud about what a pathetic jackass he is, but then realized this ain't funny. Erickson is a creepy and dangerous degenerate, which unfortunately means he will be a perfect fit for the United States Congress. And although he did win a bitter primary, hopefully the Democratic incumbent won't do anything like pledge to increase the abortion rate or take photos of herself hugging Fidel Castro and will emerge victorious.
