We can never tire of conservative male politicians who think it is their right to control women and women’s health.
On one hand, these guys provide comic relief.
Take Rep. Tim Murphy, R-Pa., who on Tuesday voted for a bill that would ban abortion after 20 weeks because he “was proud both to sponsor and vote for this important bill to clearly stand for the dignity and value of all human life, both the born and the unborn.”
But, whoops, two days later he had to announce his House resignation after the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette published texts revealing that when his mistress thought she was pregnant, he urged her to consider an abortion.
Yes, it is shades of Tennessee Rep. Scott DesJarlais, another Republican who boasted of “a 100 percent pro-life voting record” but couldn’t abide abstinence and pushed for not one but three unexpected surprises to be aborted.
