“I am only speculating on his motives but I keep coming up with the close call scenario. Nothing else makes sense.”
One of my good friends is like that. He’s mostly conservative, but he got some girl pregnant and college and they got rid of “the problem” so now he’s vehemently pro-choice. IMI, it’s as if to acknowledge the truth would be copping to a murder.
He needs to realize that if he comes clean, he can cut a deal to escape punishment.
