While the pro-abortion crowd celebrates the fall this week of Pennsylvania Rep. Tim Murphy, the rest of us got a useful reminder: Sleazy men make out pretty darn well, thanks to easy abortions.
Murphys political career came to an abrupt halt after the Pittsburgh Post Gazette caught him pressuring his mistress to have an abortion, even while he pretended to be pro-life. The pregnancy turned out to be a false alarm, but Murphys hypocrisy and the end of his career were real. After meeting with House Speaker Paul Ryan, he announced he wouldnt seek re-election. Its nice to know that there are still a few things politicians cant get away with.
Yet before we drop this one in the file marked feminist victories, it is worth understanding another lesson. Abortion-rights activists often say efforts by politicians to restrict the procedure are simply a way of men exercising control over womens bodies keeping them barefoot and pregnant. And that abortion-on-demand really is the key to empowering and freeing women from the shackles of the patriarchy.
But the truth is that men benefit from the easy availability of abortion at least as much if not more than women.
Which is one reason the recently departed Hugh Hefner was such a big proponent. Playboy published its first article supporting the legalization of abortion in 1965 and even listed the numbers of hotlines where women could obtain them even before Roe v. Wade. The audience for this information was clearly not women who were reading Playboy articles but men who had, as they used to say, gotten women in trouble.
But for the reporting, Tim Murphy (like so many other married men) might have been able to cover up any embarrassing consequences from his affair

Good point.
The truth is, only mothers have the right to murder their children. If it weren’t for sleazy mothers there would no abortions occurring.
Clearly true. Sex without consequences. I have a friend whose boyfriend pressured her into having an abortion, even though she had always wanted children.
Abortion is not after-the-fact birth control.
Plenty of disgust to spread on both sides of that aisle.
The big winners in the sexual revolution are those who sought to undermine the structure of our civilization. They have almost completely achieved their goal.
Your position presumes that women embrace the consequences of their actions.
Please state the basis for that presumption.
The ‘winners’ in the culture of death is a moot point.
The focus should be on the losers in the deal; the murder of an innocent human being.
Nice try with the straw man argument.
I know several guys with the same sentiment.
They got tired of American women always being on war footing - it get tiresome and is a waste of time.
They all ‘went abroad’ and found what they want, namely, a true partner in life that they can love and cherish and build a meaning life with. Guess what? Their wives, without exception, are happy, well adjusted, and productive.
Interestingly, the local feminazi’s look at these guys with scorn; that they won’t play their game.
Actually the only reason Murphy was forced to resign is because he is a Republican and the GOP voters expect higher standards in their candidates.!!!
If he were a Democrat, he would be applauded for his actions.
