Listen guys, I don’t if this is all real or not, I’m reporting what RELIABLE SOURCES are putting out there, so before y’all come after ME for reporting on this… I’m just telling you what’s going down.
Every time I post something even mildly critical of a conservative some of you come after me… but what am I supposed to do? Pretend this isn’t happening and be a shill who only comments on the indiscretions of the left? Nope.
Not going to do that. I didn’t cheat on this dude’s wife…. so don’t shoot the messenger.
Ok? Ok!
ANYWAY!
Anti-abortion congressman Tim Murphy reportedly asked his mistress who was half his age to get an abortion when he thought she might be pregnant.
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette said Tuesday it obtained text messages between Republican U.S. Rep Murphy, 64, of Pennsylvania and Shannon Edwards, 32, a forensic psychologist.
It berated him for a pro-life post shared to his Facebook account.
The text message from January 25 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.
Murphy is married to wife Nanette and has an adult daughter, Bevin.
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.
Here’s the post that’s being referenced:
NARAL, of course, has responded…
NARAL Pro-Choice America quickly criticized ‘the height of hypocrisy’ displayed by Murphy’s support for the legislation.
‘You shouldn’t have to be a member of Congress just to access your right to abortion,’ said Sasha Bruce, a vice president for the pro-abortion rights group.
If this turns out to be true, then YES, this is absolutely hypocritical… BUT it still in no way excuses abortion for anyone. The Left is going to try to paint all Conservatives as hypocrites who want to “take away women’s healthcare” aka kill babies, but will gladly kill babies on their own.
That’s simply not the case. This man could very well just be another slimy politician who knows he has to be pro-life to get a conservative base to elect him…
and he’s right. Conservatives ARE pro-life. The vast majority of them will agree this is absolutely hypocritical behavior.
You know what? I think that’s shameful and he’s a horrible, horrible person…. but I also appreciate that as long as he keeps working for the cause people elected him to work for… he’s doing what we asked him to do.
Tim Murphy HAS acknowledged the affair, so that much we know is true:
Murphy recently acknowledged his affair with Edwards, which became public as a result of her divorce proceedings.
In a press statement he said: ‘Last year I became involved in an affair with a personal friend. This is nobody’s fault but my own, and I offer no excuses. To the extent that there should be any blame in this matter, it falls solely upon me.
‘I ask the media to respect the privacy of my family. They have done nothing wrong and deserve to be left alone,’ the statement added.
The Pennsylvania politician has served eight-terms in congress, is married and has an adult daughter. Edwards, 32, is a practicing psychologist and performs evaluations of defendants for the Allegheny County court system.
Murphy and Edwards met when she volunteered to contribute to a mental health bill that was signed into law in December.
Edwards maintains that she did not begin to have a intimate relationship with Murphy until her marriage had fallen apart.
‘We had a collegial and friend relationship before anything else,’ Edwards told the court.
Dr. Sally who married Edwards on July 28, 2012, however, claims that his marriage was destroyed by the affair, and filings showed that he knew Edwards was having an affair with ‘a well-known political figure in the community.’
Cheaters are gross.
