A GOP congressman is resigning amid scandal after he urged mistress to get an abortion
Business Insider, Oct 5, 2017

Pennsylvania Rep. Tim Murphy will resign October 21, House Speaker Paul Ryan announced in a statement Thursday afternoon.

"This afternoon I received a letter of resignation from Congressman Tim Murphy, effective  October 21," Ryan said.  "It was Dr. Murphy's decision to move on to the next chapter of his life, and I support it. We thank him for his many years of tireless work on mental health issues here in Congress and his service to the country as a naval reserve officer."

Murphy's resignation comes in the wake of a  report detailing an affair with a woman, whom he told needed to have an abortion.

The unspoken truth about abortion.  It's for empowering men - not women.

If she had only gotten the abortion like he told her, he could still be in Congress.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

Murphy was supposedly pro-life.  But in the end he was just another liberal Republican.  Not surprising.  There are plenty of liberal Republicans in Pennsylvania.

Well he was against abortion for everyone except his mistress.  Funny how things get shouted from the rooftops isn't it?  You can't hide.

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.

Looks like it.  He should have just admitted to the adultery and be a father.  One sin leads to another I guess.
