Abortion for Me, And Not For Thee

Anti-abortion congressman urged his mistress to have one, report says
PITTSBURGH - An anti-abortion congressman asked a woman with whom he was having an extramarital affair to get an abortion when he thought she might be pregnant, a newspaper reported Tuesday.

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette said it obtained text messages between Republican U.S. Rep. Tim Murphy of Pennsylvania and Shannon Edwards. A Jan. 25 text message from Edwards said the congressman had “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,” according to the paper.

A text message from Murphy’s number in response said the staff was responsible for his anti-abortion messages: “I’ve never written them. Staff does them. I read them and winced. I told staff don’t write any more.”

Edwards, it turned out, wasn’t pregnant.

Murphy’s spokeswoman had no comment on the report.

The revelation came as the House on Tuesday approved Republican legislation that would make it a crime to perform an abortion after 20 weeks of fetal development. Murphy, a member of the House Pro-Life Caucus, is among its co-sponsors. He avoided the media in Washington after voting for the legislation, and efforts by reporters to talk to him were unsuccessful

    What does that have to do with legislation on 20 weeks. Many of your favorite Euro countries have that law

    It's just your standard issue hypocrisy. I like to be a GOP Rep who is on the Pro-Life Cockus and tell my mistress to get an abortion when she thinks I knocked her up. It's what I like to do.
    Water is wet. Dems pass tax laws and cheat on their taxes. Film at 11

    20 weeks isn't pro life life. Its still an abortion

    Yet, another issue where there can't be a logical and reasonable solution. It should be safe, legal (up to a certain date) and rare. It shouldn't be legal after 20 weeks unless the Mom's life is in danger. Christopher Hitchen's one of my favorite left wingers and former Marxist, once said that at a certain point someone has to speak for the rights of the fetus- i.e., it's not all about what the mother's right to privacy and reproductive decisions.

    This has nothing to do with the bill restricting abortion to 20 weeks. Abortion is already illegal past the date of viability. This is a push from the Republicans to actually do nothing while low information voters like @doogie and @Sledog can cheer that their Republicans pushing their agenda.

    “Thirty-four years ago the Supreme Court ruled against the sanctity of life and against the rights of the unborn,” said Congressman Tim Murphy. “Three decades later we are still fighting to reverse the decision. But there is hope. When I look out and see tens of thousands of people in the streets of Washington D.C. who have chosen life and will continue to stand up for the most innocent and defenseless, the unborn, I know these children have a voice. And as is evident today, it is a very loud voice. Together we can continue to spread this hope and let families know that choosing life is the right choice and the only choice because every child is wanted.”

    Such a hero!!
