Townhall Review | Conservative Commentary On Today's NewsAlbert Mohler: Tim Murphy and America’s Soul on the Issue of Human Life
The United States recently witnessed a tragic example of hypocrisy in high office on the question of the sanctity of human life.
Pennsylvania Republican Congressman Tim Murphy has a voting pattern of defending the sanctity of human life and only lately was amongst those who voted to ban abortion after 20 weeks.
However, divorce proceedings revealed that when Congressman Murphy discovered that his mistress may be expecting a child, he repeatedly suggested that she abort the unborn baby.
The political pressure became increasingly heavy after this revelation.
Initially, Representative Murphy announced he would retire at the end of his term. Subsequently, he told Speaker of the House Paul Ryan that he’d resign effective October 21.
This kind of hypocrisy at this level on the question of the sanctity of human life is not only immoral, it’s downright deadly. Day by day, vote by vote, headline by headline, America’s soul on the question of the dignity and sanctity of human life is becoming more apparent.
