I seem to be running afoul of someone going by the name of MastCell. My issue with the Tim Murphy page is that it repeatedly uses the word "pressued" when it discusses his suggestion that the woman with whom he was having an affair seek an abortion. The original story, published in the Oct. 3, 2017 Pittsburg Post-Gazette, never uses that word. In fact, it says the texts it obtained "suggest" he had requested she have an abortion; the actual exchange of texts between the woman and then Rep. Murphy seems to talk past the issue when she raises it.

I'm not trying to get into an "editing war" here. I am trying to get Wikipedia to drop politically charged language in describing Murphy's issue.
 * It would help prevent an edit war if you talked to directly. I dream of horses If you reply here, please ping me by adding to your message  (talk to me) (My edits) @  23:06, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
 * We're not restricted to using only the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette as a source; please see Wikipedia's policy on verifiability and guidance on appropriate sourcing. Some reliable sources do state, clearly, that Murphy "pressured" his partner about an abortion, while others use words like "urged" (that would be fine to substitute). Further discussion should probably take place at Talk:Tim Murphy (American politician). MastCell Talk 23:15, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
