Talk:Tony Tinderholt

Misleading wording/information
So, doubtless whoever edited this page to include the recent stories on tinderholt and his abortion ban did so after all the facebook shares of the story by The Texas Observer. The problem is the wording "The bill was introduced to..."; such wording, specifically the "to", is almost always shorthand for "in order to", i.e. "for the purposes of", implying that the following clause is the primary goal.

If one reads the actual observer story he does NOT say that this is his primary reason for introducing the bill. It's very clear from the rest of the article and his own website that he introduced the bill for typical anti-abortion purposes, i.e. that he thinks abortion is murder.

I may try to alter the article to reflect more accurate information, if I can get far enough (I don't always remeber wikipedia's tags and such) — Preceding unsigned comment added by EdwinAmi (talk • contribs) 22:06, 2 February 2017 (UTC)

Removed post divorce relationship inforce information
I removed the post divorce statement that his former wives and the subject enjoy a good terms relationship, post divorce, and that have been supportive of his ambitions. The statement was removed becuase the cited reference was not an authoritative source to prove the point, but instead was an "ibid" reference to Texas Marriage License files used to document the four previous marriages. Secondly, the statement did not provide a primary or secondary source for the statement, either a direct verifiable statement from each woman, or a reliable published account where the women are credited with saying such. As such, the statement about the friendly nature of their relationships and or their support is purly POV, and quite possibly propaganda placed to paint a more palatable portrait of the subject.
