Anti-Abortion Congressman urged mistress to explore abortion options

[dbackjon]

Rep. Tim Murphy, popular with pro-life movement, urged abortion in affair, texts suggest

A text message sent in January to U.S. Rep. Tim Murphy by a woman with whom he had an extra-marital relationship took him to task for an anti-abortion statement posted on Facebook from his office's public account.

"And you have zero issue posting your pro-life stance all over the place when you had no issue asking me to abort our unborn child just last week when we thought that was one of the options," Shannon Edwards, a forensic psychologist in Pittsburgh with whom the congressman admitted last month to having a relationship, wrote to Mr. Murphy on Jan. 25, in the midst of an unfounded pregnancy scare.

A text from Mr. Murphy’s cell phone number that same day in response says, "I get what you say about my March for life messages. I've never written them. Staff does them. I read them and winced. I told staff don't write any more. I will."

The congressman has been lauded by the Family Research Council, for his stance on abortion, as well as for family values, generally. He also has been endorsed by LifePAC, which opposes abortion rights, and is a member of the House Pro-Life Caucus, an affiliation that is often cited by his office.

Shocking. Just shocking.

BTW, well done...

Based on the way White Evangelical Christians voted for an obvious moral atrocity this past Presidential election I'm sure they are fine with it.

He's aborted his term.

Too bad he wasn't a dem. He would have locked up his reelection.

Wait, so he recently backed a bill outlawing late term abortions, but then urged his mistress to get an early term abortion (turns out she wasn't pregnant).

Unless he's pushed for making all abortions illegal, I don't see the problem..

Which he has.

Link?

[dbackjon]

read the original link, if you are capable.

Go back and re read it yourself. Nowhere in there is he quoted as being against all abortions. The only thing the article says is against all public funding and against late term/post 20 weeks.

LOL - reading comprehension is not your strong suit. You don't get 91% rating from anti-abortion groups for not being total opposed to it. But, since logic doesn't work for you, there is this

Murphy co-sponsored H.R.816/S.2464
A bill to implement equal protection under the 14th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States for the right to life of each born and preborn human person.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, to implement equal protection for the right to life of each born and preborn human person, the Congress hereby declares that the right to life guaranteed by the Constitution is vested in each human being.
Nothing in this Act shall be construed to require the prosecution of any woman for the death of her unborn child, a prohibition on in vitro fertilization, or a prohibition on use of birth control or another means of preventing fertilization.
In this Act, the terms `human person` and `human being` include each member of the species homo sapiens at all stages of life, including the moment of fertilization or cloning, or other moment at which an individual member of the human species comes into being.

You know its fake news when you hear of a Republican sex scandal with a woman involved.

I was thinking that the Republicans should take it as a sign of progress that the scandal involves a family-values conservative having an affair with a woman.

She's hot. I'd plow her for a couple months.

Maybe she didn't. Maybe she was just messing with his head.
