Rep. Tim Murphy, popular with pro-life movement, urged abortion in affair, texts suggest
MSN/Pittsburgh Post Gazette ^ | October 3, 2017

Posted on 10/03/2017 4:35:23 PM PDT by SMGFan

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."

Maybe because there’s already an open thread on the same story?

What can we say? The guy is a hypocrite and the left-wing media is pouncing on his hypocrisy. What he did is indefensible and the left is using him to make the pro-life cause look bad. In the long run, though, it doesn’t matter. One idiotic, hypocritical congressman doesn’t change the fact that abortion is murder.

Oh, HELL!

What in God’s name possesses these conservatives to violate their vows, betray their families, then want their mistresses to kill their unborn babies!

It’s sickening!

He should resign...

Since it’s not mentioned in the first three words...I assume he’s a democRAT.

Color me stunned....a Republican and it’s not mentioned anywhere in the article.

The Drive-By Media “style guide” dictates that any report of wrongdoing by a republican, his party affiliation much be mentioned within the first three words. This is a clear violation of that policy, or is this a random act of journalism. /sarc
