Congressman who reportedly pressured his mistress to have an abortion votes for extreme abortion ban
Source: Think Progress
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported Tuesday afternoon that Rep. Tim Murphy (R-PA), a darling of the anti-choice movement, had pressured a woman with whom he was having an affair to get an abortion. Hours later, Murphy was one of 237 House representatives who voted in favor of extreme anti-abortion legislation.
The bill, entitled the “Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act,” would criminalize abortions after 20 weeks based on the junk science belief that fetuses can feel pain after that point. It is sponsored by Rep. Trent Franks (R-AZ). Murphy is one of the legislation’s 182 co-sponsors.
The legislation passed the House 237-189. It has twice passed the House in the past.

The memo written by a distraught staffer about her experience working for the honorable congressman, reprinted in this article:

From the article: "...a six-page memo to Mr. Murphy purportedly written by his chief of staff, Susan Mosychuk — described a hostile workplace in which Mr. Murphy repeatedly denigrated employees, threatened them and created a state of “terror.” "
This guy must have serious psychological issues. I hope his conduct is big news in his district--his job performance must be significantly negatively impacted. Probably the reason challengers appear to be lining up to run against him.
Oh, and yeah, he's a frickin' hypocrite. Typical fake xtian pushing an anti-abortion agenda.
