The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette obtained texts between Murphy and his mistress; in them, she criticizes him for hypocrisy after his Facebook page promoted a pro-life event. Feminists sometimes joke about the one abortion exception pro-lifers honor: "rape, incest and me." I have interviewed abortion clinic workers with stories about pro-life protesters who find themselves unexpectedly pregnant and needing the clinic's help. For people like this, opposition to abortion appears to be not so much about fetal life, as about controlling women. Which is exactly why abortion suddenly becomes an option when it will help a man's career or his life -- regardless of what the pregnant woman wants.
