Fox News reports:
An anti-abortion congressman asked his mistress to have an abortion when he thought she might be pregnant, according to a report this week.
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette said it obtained text messages between Rep. Tim Murphy, R-Pa., and Shannon Edwards, the woman with whom he was having an extramarital affair.
In a Jan. 25 text message, Edwards said Murphy 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.
“I’ve never written them. Staff does them. I read them and winced,” Murphy’s number replied, blaming his staff for his anti-abortion messages. “I told staff don’t write any more.”
Ultimately, Edwards was not pregnant.
