CNN: Embattled GOP Congressman Tim Murphy to Resign

EXCERPT:

TAPPER: “We're back with some breaking news right now in our politics lead. Embattled Republican congressman Tim Murphy of Pennsylvania we are told will resign his seat effective October 21st. Murphy had previously announced he was not going to seek reelection. We’ll bring back CNN's Phil Mattingly on Capitol Hill right now. Phil, Congressman Murphy, a proud member of the Pro-Life Caucus, but some text messages emerged recently, tell us more.”
MATTINGLY: “That’s exactly right, text messages where he was alleged to have urged the termination of a pregnancy with a woman that he had been having an affair with. Obviously as you noted, a very pro-life member, very outspoken pro-life member and this has been an issue that’s plagued the entire Republican Conference this week as they've tried to get their heads around it."
