(October 5, 2017 at 7:13 am)Doubting Thomas Wrote: Anti-abortion senator to retire after reports of an affair
Quote:Republican congressman Tim Murphy of Pennsylvania announced Wednesday that he would not run for a ninth term, amid tawdry revelations of an extramarital affair in which the anti-abortion lawmaker urged his mistress to get an abortion when he thought she was pregnant.
...
Murphy's decision came a day after the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette published text messages between Murphy and Shannon Edwards.
A Jan. 25 text message from Edwards told the congressman he 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 newspaper.
Unlike his side, we'd say that would be HER decision alone between her and her doctor.
I am so sick of these assholes rightfully pointing to the east and bitch about how, NOT ALL, but far too much of it is about controlling women's bodies.
I am also sick of the bullshit assumption that being pro choice means we go door to door and tell girls/women "Hey get knocked up so we can end a life and have keg party after."
No, the left DOES want healthy babies and wanted babies. We simply don't live a lie and try to force a utopia.
We see EDUCATION and livable wages so parents can be at home to monitor kids. We see knowing how your body works and valuing consent, and reducing risk with condoms. We value life after birth meaning the economy of the adults and the kid.
If these morons can rightfully condemn the treatment of females in the east, then they should simply mind their own business here.
Unfortunately this does not surprise me.
