Rep. Tim Murphy (R-Pa.), the professedly pro-life congressman who was revealed to have urged the woman he was having an affair with to have an abortion, will not seek another term in Congress. “After discussions with my family and staff, I have come to the decision that I will not seek reelection to Congress at the end of my current term,” he said in a statement Wednesday. (The woman, whom Murphy admitted to having an affair with last month, ended up not being pregnant.) In the text messages, Shannon Edwards called Murphy out on pro-life statements on his Facebook page. Murphy previously voted in favor of multiple anti-abortion bills, and has a 100 percent rating from the pro-life Family Research Council.
