According to documents obtained by the Post-Gazette, Shannon Edwards—a Pittsburgh woman exactly half Murphy’s age with whom he recently admitted to having an extramarital affair—texted Murphy in January about a possible pregnancy that turned out to be just a scare. “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,” she said, referring to a post from Murphy’s professional Facebook account that accused America of “discarding and disregarding the most vulnerable” for allowing abortions past 20 weeks’ gestation.
“I get what you say about my March for life messages,” Murphy responded. “I’ve never written them. Staff does them. I read them and winced. I told staff don't write any more. I will.”

Typical, it's like Trump and other pro lifers, they aren't really, it's just for political capital.
 
I have a hunch that stories like this aren't all that uncommon.

I never really bought the sincerity of the "pro life" argument. I'm sure it is sincere for some, but I see too many pro lifers with contradictory positions when it comes to matters of life & death in other areas. It's political for them.

Well, it's analytical sincerity. They believe it extremely deeply right up to the precise moment that it affects them personally in the slightest way at all. That's the kind of sincerity they have. Abstract sincerity. Talking point sincerity. Righteous indignation sincerity.

You see, they are so immoral on so many issues, the Republicans, that is, and they feel they have some outrage retaliatory traction on this one, and they damn sure are going to milk it for all its righteous worth. Basically, they are all immoral scumbags,
it's a game to them.

I never bought the sincerity of the "pro choice" argument and also have a bunch of stories where those claiming they support choice hold contradictory positions when it comes to other matters involving choice. It would be easier if they simply claimed to be what they are, pro abortion, instead of lying about how they really feel.

I bet you claim your mindset of being pro choice doesn't mean pro abortion. Interesting how those that claim there is a difference oppose choice when it comes to many other issues yet have no problem being pro abortion, excuse me, pro choice, I mean pro abortion. See the contradiction?
 
keep your fucking fingers out of the flesh inside my body


if it cant be removed alive from my body then its my flesh

GET IT YOU EVIL CONTROL FREAKS

You'd be hard-pressed to find an issue where I do not personally err on the side of individual liberty.

No, I don't. Unintelligible ^. Perhaps one of your examples can help. I understand supporting the right of a woman to have an abortion does not mean she is forced to have one. That's an example of a choice. I'm guessing you can conjure up some position commonly held by liberals that does not evidence support of some claimed right or duty to do
or refrain from doing something.

Is your point, discerned only by my helping you out to the maximum extent my comprehension can reach, simply the naked contradiction inherent in supporting choice for x but not choice for y? That's supposed to be a point?

Im dealing with idiots

You mean you support bakers exercising their individual liberty under the 1st amendment to say no to a homos wanting a cake?

So you support those of us told to butt out of a woman's choice of whether or not to have a child saying no when the woman making the choice and telling us to butt out demands financial help?

What you don't understand is that if the choice you support involves her having an abortion, there is no difference between it and being pro abortion.

I'm dealing with a dumb coon.
 
There is zero religious justification for being anti-abortion. The Bible says that even newly born infants are worth five shekels of silver.

But then, morality has never come from the Bible. The pro-life movement was an orchestrated political movement designed to fracture people along party lines.

Yep. I supported the bakers' rights. How sad that must be for you.

Your 2nd point is unintelligible.

Your inability to understand it is the problem.

Do you support taxpayers being forced to fund social welfare programs that feed a woman/her children SHE chose to have when she can't afford to do so?

Another atheist claiming to know what the Bible means.
 
I'd be happy to debate the Bible with you, but you'd have to have read it, and not observed some Bible-derived slogan you observed on a bumber-sticker.

I have and unlike you, I read it in the manner it was supposed to be read not from a secular viewpoint.

Bring it on, son.

So newborns aren't worth five shekels of silver? Go ahead and cite the verse I'm referring to.
