Second-Degree Murder (2 counts), Abuse of a Corpse (2 counts) and Hindering Prosecution This horrible murder is a great example of how far the pro-choice mentality can go when a conscienceless pair of thugs adopts it. 25-year-old Daniel C. Rondeau was having sex with a 15-year-old girl, Antoinette Strope, and got her pregnant. He did not want to be charged with statutory rape. Besides, he had already moved on and was having sex with another teenaged girl. On February 15, 1993, he recruited a friend, Joseph K. Poette, to assist him in eliminating all of the evidence. They strangled Antoinette to death in Rondeaus apartment and then joked about the murder as they dragged her body into the bathroom and cut it up into six pieces with a hacksaw. Then they stuffed the pieces into five garbage bags and buried them. Troy detectives agreed that this was the most gruesome murder they could recall. The Troy Chief of Police, William Miller, said "Twenty-seven years here and I don't recall anything like this."

Rondeau pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and was sentenced to 25 years to life in prison. A jury convicted Poette at trial of the same charge. Judge Patrick McGrath called Rondeau a menace to society in handing down the maximum sentence for second-degree murder. Mary Rondeau pleaded guilty to hindering prosecution for providing the hacksaw and helping to wipe up the blood. During Rondeaus trial, neighbors testified that he beat and whipped various women to the point of screaming in his apartment, and his ex-wife said that he would tie her up and force her to have sex with other men. Others said that Rondeau and Poette had once bought rope and gloves for a planned attack on a romantic rival of Poette, but the plan was foiled.

Attempted Murder, Assault and Second -Degree Abortion [Troy] On July 1, 2003, Cashandwa Rowlett decided to tell her boyfriend, Sean Brown of Albany, that she was two months pregnant. He didn't like this news, so the pro-abortionist attacked her so viciously that she was permanently disfigured. He stabbed her at least ten times in the abdomen, hip, thighs and fingers in an attempt to make her miscarry, according to Rensselaer County District Attorney Patricia DeAngelis. Brown was arrested on July 3 and was indicted on July 11 by a Rensselaer County grand jury on charges of attempted murder, assault and second-degree abortion. He was held in jail without bail pending arraignment. On May 7, 2004, in, Rensselaer County Court, Brown pleaded guilty to one count each of second-degree abortion and assault, and on June 2 was sentenced to prison for a total of 14 years.

Second-Degree Felony Conspiracy and Fourth-Degree Felony Conspiracy [Schenectady] Pro-choicer Alexei S. Rameys girlfriend was more than eight months pregnant but he was not at all happy about becoming a father. So he attempted to hire someone to stab her in the belly, and said that he did not care whether or not his girlfriend died during the attack. But this guy definitely belongs in the dumb criminal category. An undercover investigator posed as a volunteer assailant, and met with Ramey, who offered him $500 and a brand-new washing machine to do the dirty deed, and gave him a photograph and the address of the 19-year-old woman. District Attorney Robert Carney said he had never seen a murder for hire involving hardware. Police charged Ramey with second-degree felony conspiracy and fourth-degree felony conspiracy. Peter J.

In May 1997, pro-abortionist Darren Jones beat his six-month pregnant girlfriend, Marquita Evans, whose unborn child died after the attack. Rensselaer County District Attorney Ken Bruno says no murder charge was filed because he could not prove that the baby's death was due to the actions of Jones. Reference: Pro-Life Infonet, May 29, 1997. Assault, Death Threats (2 incidents), Destruction of Property (2 incidents), Vandalism and Harassment (7 incidents) Brian Heitner talks about a particularly violent pro-abortion group; As a founder of a new pro-life non-violent group on the campus of the State University of New York at Albany back in the mid 90s, we were told of a death threat from a group called NWROC (National Women's Rights Organizing Coalition) aimed at the founders of the new pro-life group. My vice president, Marc, received a call from one of the college newspaper reporters saying that a guy from NWROC called up demanding information on who started the pro-life group so that he could kill us. As a result, we notified Concerned Citizens For Human Life (a pro-life group helping us), who in returned warned the college that our lives should be protected by the University, otherwise it could be held liable. A reporter from the Times Union, a local paper, took our pictures and later went to get NWROC's position on the incident. There was a small article in the Times Union about the incident. Multiple times members of NWROC harassed members of Concerned Citizens for Life (there is an amateur video on this). This took place in front of Planned Parenthood in Albany, New York. One incident occurred when one of the members of Concerned Citizens for Life had to bring his or her son to the protest and a member of NWROC attacked the child, who had to be taken to a hospital as a result. In Deer Park, New York, there is a pro-life center which tries to educate people about the issue of abortion as well as providing support for women who go through with their pregnancies. The first time I tried to find the place, I missed it because I was looking for some sign or evidence of a pro-life or abortion alternative center. After not being able to find it, I called up on a pay phone and got better directions. When I arrived at the place, I asked a receptionist why they didn't have a sign. She replied that there is a group of violent pro-abortion people who have thrown rocks through our windows, harassed volunteers and clients, and threatened to set the place on fire. NWROC is a violent pro-abortion, pro-homosexual group whose members have been arrested numerous times for violent incidents. NWROC's logo is a female symbol with a fist through it, and their slogan is "NO FREE SPEECH FOR FASCISTS!"

A little too much, it seems.

The New York Board for Professional Medical Conduct revoked abortionist Akiva Abrahams license to practice medicine after he had sex with patients in his office and in a hospital waiting room. In one case, he was aware that one of his young women patients was suffering from anxiety and depression. He aborted her and had sex with her on the same day. In one instance, Abraham raped her. He lied to a Department of Health investigator about the five-month relationship, and engaged in numerous acts of fraud. He also falsified medical records for several patients and failed to maintain accurate records. The Board for Professional Medical Conduct initially revoked Abraham's license in July 2005 after they found out that he induced another woman's labor early so he wouldn't have to change his vacation plans. The Board found him morally unfit to practice medicine. Among the evidence considered was testimony by a psychiatrist who called Abraham "the most amoral person she had evaluated who was not behind bars." But what did they expect? The guy is an abortionist! The Board also found that Abraham practiced medicine negligently. Abraham appealed. On April 19, 2007, the Appellate Division of the New York State Supreme Court released its decision not return the abortionists credentials References: Steven Ertelt.

Criminal Mischief and Destruction of Property In November 2007, pro-life activists erected a billboard about one hundred feet from the Buffalo GYN Womenservices abortion mill on Main Street in Buffalo. The abortion mill obviously saw the billboard as a threat to their moneymaking business, and so, sometime during the night of January 7, 2008, skulking pro-choicers (who invariably claim that they support free speech) splattered the billboard with paint, obscuring its message.

New York - Page 4 -

The billboard said "You Shall Not Kill," and the pro-abortionists had riddled it with about twenty dark paint splotches that looked like bullet holes, aiming at the depiction of the preborn child. Marie OConnor, who was involved in setting up the billboard, said that This is absolutely a violent act. It is a criminal act, even the District Attorney has said it is criminal mischief. We have been in touch with the Buffalo Police and the FBI. The Erie County District Attorney has said that although it is a stretch, it might be prosecuted as a hate crime for criminal mischief. I'm hoping it can, because it is very clear that in this area there is not a single billboard that was damaged as violently as ours. If you're there in person, you can see the aim was strictly toward the fetus with the umbilical cord showing. That was the focus of all this damage. It's probably frustration on the part of pro-abortionists that not only have we not gone away, but we've made the message clearer, and we've kept it on the closest billboard to their killing chamber. Nobody from the Buffalo GYN Womenservices abortion mill apologized for the vandalism, showing that they supported it. Reference: Peter J. Smith.

Inadequate Recordkeeping (12 counts) Salomon N. Epstein was an abortionist for the A-1 Women's Center, located in a run-down Hispanic neighborhood in Binghamton, New York. On May 1, 2000, he admitted guilt on twelve counts of inadequate recordkeeping and agreed to a five-year suspension of his license to practice medicine in New York State. The New York State Board for Professional Medical Conduct also ordered him to have another physician present at his abortion mill in case of emergencies. Since he could not find such a person, he was forced to close the abortion mill down. Margaret Johnston, director of the Women's Services abortion mill in New York, showed her utter disregard for the health of women as she comically blamed pro-lifers for Epstein's problems; It is my understanding that Dr. Salomon Epstein closed his office in Binghamton as part of a negotiation settlement with the New York State Department of Health. ... Naturally, we regret the loss of a colleague dedicated to providing abortions for women. It is apparent that the climate of intimidation and fear engendered by anti-abortion activism in the last 15 years has made provision of abortion services more difficult.

First-Degree Murder (2 counts), Second-Degree Murder (2 counts), Attempted First-Degree Murder, Attempted Second-Degree Murder, Stalking, Second-Degree Conspiracy (2 counts) and Second-Degree Criminal Solicitation (2 counts) Crystal Miller had broken up with her obsessed boyfriend Willie Jackson, Jr., but she was five months pregnant by him and he wanted her to have an abortion because he was jealous of the baby. He stalked her aggressively, then, on March 4, 2003, shot her in the abdomen. Not satisfied with that, Jackson then murdered Crystals three-year-old daughter and her grandmother. Incredibly, both Crystal and her preborn baby survived the brutal attack. On May 17, 2004, a jury found Jackson guilty of two counts of first-degree murder, two counts of second-degree murder, first-degree attempted murder, second-degree attempted murder, two counts of second-degree conspiracy and two counts of criminal solicitation in the second degree. Judge Michael L. D'Amico sentenced Jackson to life in prison. Reference: People of the State of New York v. Jackson, 2007 New York Slip Opinion 05015 [41 AD3d 1268], dated June 8, 2007. Criminally Negligent Homicide, Gross Negligence (2 incidents), Negligence and Public Lewd Acts When New York legalized abortion on demand in 1970, Abortionist Jesse Ketchum immediately set up shop in a Buffalo motel. On May 28, 1971, Ketchum did a D&C abortion under general anesthesia on Ellen K. Lawler of New Baltimore, Michigan, in his Buffalo office. Only later, at an undisclosed time, did Mrs. Lawler discover that Ketchum had lacerated her uterus, anterior cul-de-sac, right broad ligament, and peritoneum. He had told her the abortion had been uncomplicated.

New York - Page 6 -

Ketchum was convicted of criminally negligent homicide after killing 25-year old Margaret Louise Smith on June 16, 1971. A pathologist determined that Margaret bled to death from "laceration of the entire length of the cervix, lower segment of the uterus, and the broad ligament." Just a few months later, one of his abortions killed a woman who traveled from Ohio for a vaginal hysterotomy abortion in Ketchum's office. She was admitted to a hospital, in shock, the next day, and died of hemorrhage during a laparotomy on October 20, 1971. The coroner noted that "At autopsy, removal of sutures which completely closed the cervix revealed a laceration extending the length of the cervical canal into the uterus and the right uterine artery." This latter case led to his conviction on charges of criminally negligent homicide on October 26, 1973. His petition to overturn conviction on constitutional grounds was denied. Abortionist Milan Vuitch testified in Ketchum's defense. Of two doctors known to have been performing outpatient hysterotomy abortions in New York City in the early 1970s, Ketchum performed 18 of the 19 outpatient hysterotomies reported. Both reported deaths from outpatient hysterotomies (Margaret Smith and Carol Schaner) were Ketchum's patients, giving his outpatient hysterotomy practice an 11% mortality rate. On April 12, 1974, Ketchum was found guilty and fined $50 for sitting in a porno theater, masturbating with his trousers around his knees.

Attempted Murder, Attempted Suicide, First-Degree Assault, and Arson David Elersic was a married man, and he had a problem. He was cheating on his wife and his girlfriend, Gloria Busch, was pregnant with his child. So, on March 12, 2003, he went to her home, having told her that he was going to accompany her to a sonogram appointment. Instead, Elersic bound Gloria to a chair in her kitchen using duct tape, sealed the room with plastic, and disconnected the stove's natural gas line from the wall. When he had finished tying Gloria to the chair, he told her that they were both about to die. The resulting gas explosion destroyed the home and heavily damaged houses on both sides. Police found Elersic and Gloria in the garage. Gloria was in critical condition with burns over 25 percent of her body. Her preborn baby survived. Elersic suffered only minor injuries. Investigators said Elersic was angry because Gloria refused to have an abortion. He left a suicide note. On May 30, 2003, Elersic pleaded guilty to one count of attempted murder and was sentenced to 15 years in prison. References: "Man Charged After Causing Girlfriend's House to Explode."

New York - Page 7 -

On December 5, 1988, Buffalo abortionist Barnett Slepian went wild when several pro-lifers sang Christmas carols outside his home on a public sidewalk. Slepian grabbed a baseball bat and severely injured Ronald Breymeier, 48, by beating him on the head, back, and arms, before smashing out all of the windows on Breymeier's van. Slepian surrendered to Town of Amherst police at his home a short time afterwards, and was charged with felony assault and criminal mischief. Local pro-abortionists vocally supported this incredibly violent attack. Abortion mill owner Marilynn Buckham told the Buffalo News "I think it's [picketing] religious persecution. These 'good Christians' don't respect anyone else's religion." At Slepian's 'trial,' Amherst Town Justice Sherwood Bestry said to him, "The Court feels you have suffered a great deal on account of this." Following this mock 'trial,' the Amherst Town Board immediately banned the picketing of homes by pro-lifers. References: Paul Likoudis, "Buffalo Abortionist Arrested on Sex-Abuse Charges." The Wanderer, January 5, 1988, page 1; Associated Press, December 6 and 7, 1988. Rape (2 incidents), Second-Degree Assault, First Degree Sexual Abuse, First Degree Unlawful Imprisonment, Bribery (2 incidents), Possession of Illegal Drugs/Hypodermics, Resisting Arrest, Practicing Medicine without a License (5 incidents), Falsification of Documents (3 incidents), Illegal Drug Sales (7 incidents), Obstruction of Governmental Administration, and Soliciting a Prostitute Tati Okereke is another one of those 99 percent of abortionists that give the other one percent a bad name. The abortionist was arrested after a Christmas Eve party in the Buffalo Hyatt Regency and charged with second-degree assault, first degree sexual abuse, first degree unlawful imprisonment, possession of illegal drugs and hypodermics, resisting arrest, and obstruction of governmental administration. The abortionist's former girlfriend was found handcuffed to a bed, with drugs and needles scattered on the floor nearby. Police had to forcibly subdue Okereke when he was arrested. In 1982, he was charged with two counts of sexual abuse, but was acquitted by a State Supreme Court jury. The New York State medical board investigated numerous allegations including fondling patient's breasts, and injecting patients with medication making them groggy, then engaging in sexual intercourse with them against their wills. One of these women testified that she could not move but kept crying "What are you doing?," and another patient testified that after examining her vagina, the abortionist licked his fingers. She said the doctor tried to pay her off to keep her quiet following the incident. According to documents obtained by The Buffalo News under the Freedom of Information Act, Okereke was also charged by the State of New York with; Raping two patients and then trying to bribe them in order to buy their silence; Drugging and then trying to have sex with his receptionist at an office Christmas party at the Hyatt Regency Buffalo Hotel on December 24, 1988; Dispensing narcotics to himself and failing to account for very large quantities of controlled substances; Prescribing Valium and diet pills to underweight women and women with a history of drug abuse; Lying on staff membership applications to Buffalo General Hospital, Buffalo Children's Hospital, and a Maryland hospital; and Continuing to treat patients after his medical license was suspended in March 1988.

New York Health Department attorney Paul R. White said that "Dr. Okereke is a pathological liar. The guy is either incapable or unwilling to tell the truth."

New York - Page 8 -

During his hearings, the abortionist trotted out the usual tired old excuses. He claimed that he was the victim of racial prejudice since he was from Nigeria. He claimed that other physicians were jealous of him. And he sniveled that the New York Health Department had teamed up with pro-lifers to get rid of him. Like the typical abortionist he is, Okereke did everything but take responsibility for his own actions. After more than seven years of legal maneuvering, Okereke's medical license was finally revoked in 1989. Later, Okereke continued to demonstrate his [lack of] character when he pleaded guilty to soliciting a prostitute on May 3, 1991. References: Paul Likoudis.

Felony Abortion, Burglary, Assault and Unlawful Endangerment Jeremy Powell's ex-girlfriend was three months pregnant by him. She wanted to keep the baby, but he insisted that she get an abortion. She refused. And so, on January 27, 2002, Powell forced his way into his ex-girlfriend's apartment through a kitchen window, then locked her in the basement and punched and kicked her, screaming "I'm going to beat that baby out of you!" During pauses in his attack, he called another girlfriend on the telephone. Lisa Bloch Rodwin, chief of Erie County District Attorney Frank J. Clark's Domestic Violence Bureau, said the victim called police after she made her way to Sisters Hospital, where she miscarried. Rodwin said Powell was successfully prosecuted because of the "outstanding work" on the case by five officers of the Buffalo Police Department sex offense squad led by Detective Salvatore Valvo, who got Powell to admit his conduct. City Judge David M. Manz ordered Powell to remain jailed pending grand jury proceedings. Powell was charged with criminal abortion, burglary, assault and unlawful endangerment, and he waived a felony hearing, remaining in jail in lieu of $80,000 bail. Powell could have been sentenced to 25 years in prison if he was convicted on all of the charges. On March 15, 2002, before his case could be presented to an Erie County grand jury, Powell admitted that he deliberately beat his ex-girlfriend to abort his child. He pleaded guilty to felony abortion and second-degree assault. State Supreme Court Justice Ronald H. Tills refused to give him a sentencing commitment pending his May 31, 2002 sentencing, and revoked his bail. Court officials said this was Western New York's first criminal-abortion case since the prosecution of abortionist Jesse L. Ketchum in the death of a Buffalo patient in 1971. Ketchum was convicted of criminally negligent homicide in the death of a Michigan woman who died after being aborted in his office.

Death Threat and Vandalism Pro-life students erected 4,400 white crosses with the permission of the Amherst Campus of the University of Buffalo in October 1995, to represent the number of preborn babies killed by abortion every day. Pro-abortionists tore down and destroyed about 1,400 of the crosses at night. In response to the display, in the student newspaper of the State University of New York at Buffalo, pro-abortionist Michelle Goldberg comically raved that If I couldn't have an abortion safely and legally, I would find another way. If I ended up dead from hemorrhaging with a coathanger up my cunt, the anti-choicers will have murdered me as surely as they murdered Dr. David Gunn, and as surely as they murdered the thousands who died from illegal abortions before 1973. Anti-choicers have declared war on women. Now it's up to us to fight back. If that means guarding the [abortion] clinic doors with Uzis, then that's what will have to be done. Just once, I'd like to see someone blow up one of those churches. ... This week is anti-choice week at UB [University of Buffalo]. If you see one of them showing their disgusting videos or playing with toy fetuses, do your part and spit at them. Kick them in the head. Give them the name of your therapist. They call it "Cemetery of the Innocents." I call it graveyard of the oppressed. Their God is worth nothing compared to my body. Abortion is a bit bloody. So is a root canal. It's a fing operation! If you think abortion is gruesome, you should see childbirth; an ordeal that is ten times more dangerous to a woman's health ... The anti-choice movement is like self-help for them. Too bad there's no "Fanatics Anonymous" to give them the help they need. Despite the obviously dangerous nature of this death threat, and the damage done to the crosses, the university took no disciplinary action against any pro-abortionist. UB officials merely clucked their tongues about "tolerance" and "free speech." We can be assured, however, that if a pro-lifer had threatened abortionists in the same way, he or she would have been punished immediately and severely.

In October 1997, the State of New York fined him $1,000 for committing two unasked-for abortions and a mistaken sterilization. The abortionist was also placed on probation for four years. The State found that Cunanan failed to have

Second-Degree Abortion, Assault and Larceny Pro-abortionist Danny Court, 24, of the Genesee County town of Pavilion, did not want a baby but his girlfriend, an unidentified 19-year-old native of Perry, New York, did. So he, being a farmhand, obtained a supply of a veterinary drug used to induce miscarriages in cattle, and laced her soft drink with it. Fortunately, she did not miscarry, but she suffered some ill effects from the drug. Court was arrested on January 31, 2001 and charged with second-degree abortion, second-degree assault, and petty larceny. He was arraigned before Covington Town Justice Paul Dougherty and sent to Wyoming County Jail in lieu of $20,000 bail.

Felony Abortion, Assault, Criminal Mischief, Unlawful Imprisonment, Criminal Obstruction of Breathing or Blood Circulation, Harassment and Felony Escape 20-year-old pro-choicer Travis Mervine was angry that his young girlfriend was pregnant, and was even more upset that she refused his demands to have an abortion. On May 21, 2011, he imprisoned her at his home. He forced her to stand naked and assaulted her over several hours, particularly punching her in the stomach in attempts to force her to miscarry. On May 23, the girl called Village of Liberty police from her mothers house and described her ordeal to them, and they arrested Mervine and charged him with second-degree felony abortion, thirddegree assault, fourth-degree criminal mischief, second-degree unlawful imprisonment, second-degree harassment, and criminal obstruction of breathing or blood circulation. While police were taking him to court for arraignment, Mervine escaped while wearing handcuffs. Four hours later, a K-9 unit located him at his fathers home, and he was caught and charged with felony escape. He was lodged in jail without bond.

Second-Degree Abortion, Felony Assault and Felony Probation Violation On July 8, 2001, Clayton Tucker Jr. punched and kicked his girlfriend, deliberately aiming for her abdomen, shouting over and over again that he wanted to kill her preborn baby. She passed out, but then recovered and staggered to a neighbor's house, where Tucker beat her savagely again in front of several shocked witnesses. She miscarried the following day. Bureau of Criminal Investigation Investigator Kelvis Melo said that "It was a strong-arm assault. It wasn't a medical procedure. It was an abortive act that caused the demise of a fetus." Assistant District Attorney Glenn MacNeill, the prosecutor for the case, said that "This is a domestic-violence incident at its worst that resulted in something terrible. It's a case about power and control." In March of 2002, Tucker pleaded guilty in Franklin County Court to second-degree abortion and, on May 20, 2002, he was sentenced to the maximum of two to four years in state prison. At sentencing, Assistant District Attorney Glenn MacNeill said, "This is one of the worst cases of domestic violence I've seen." The presentencing report and its addendums showed that Tucker is unable to accept responsibility for his own actions, has a bitter hatred toward women, and is a violent person who is now a second-felony offender. Prosecutor MacNeill added that "A message needs to be sent to Mr. Tucker that his actions will not be tolerated. The PSI truly sums up this situation: "The defendant must be locked away for the safety of the community, if for no other reason"." Judge Robert Main noted that Tucker has a 10-year record of criminal conduct and was on probation at the time of the attack. Poor Clayton Tucker! If only he were an abortionist, he would be making piles of money instead of sitting in jail. References: Denise A. Raymo. "Abortion Charge Tied to Beating Miscarriage."

Gross Negligence (2 incidents), Felony Unauthorized Practice of Medicine, Felony Insurance Fraud, and Petty Larceny In October 2002, the New York Board for Professional Misconduct revoked abortionist Paul Mayer's medical license for gross negligence in two cases, including the abortion of a viable 29-week preborn baby. Mayer continued to practice medicine as he appealed the revocation. In February 2002, an Orange County grand jury indicted the abortionist on charges of felony unauthorized practice of medicine, felony insurance fraud, and petty larceny. However, six months later, the indictment was thrown out because Mayer's license was in effect while he appealed the revocation. In April 2003, the New York State Court of Appeals permanently revoked Mayer's medical license and, in November 2003, the Appellate Division of the New York State Supreme Court ruled that the lower court

Second-Degree Murder (2 counts), Arson, Assault, Second-Degree Abortion and Tampering with Physical Evidence Pro-choicer Jimmy Humphrey was tired of his girlfriend Linda Anderson, who was seven months pregnant with his preborn baby, and her little boy, two-year-old Ayden Hayes. He did not want to have children with Linda, and it was kind of late for an abortion, so he decided to take care of the problem himself. Early in the morning of July 13, 2010, he grabbed Linda by the neck and strangled her to death. He then threw her on the ground and ignited a fire in the apartment, which spread very quickly. He left the area and went back to his home, where he lay down for a while before calling 911. Firefighters discovered Lindas body, and little Ayden was horribly burned but still alive. They transported him to a local Queens hospital where he soon died. Humphrey was arrested and admitted that he set the fire although he knew that the toddler was still inside the apartment. He also confessed that he had strangled Linda, set her body on fire, and that he had abandoned her and her little toddler, who was asleep in his bedroom. He also said that he did not want children with Linda. The Chief Medical Examiner ruled that Linda died as a result of neck compression, that her preborn baby was viable, and that Ayden died as a result of smoke inhalation and thermal injuries. Humphrey was charged with two counts of second-degree murder, arson, assault, second-degree abortion and tampering with physical evidence, and was held without bail. References: Anahad OConnor.

The Times Newsweekly [Queens and Brooklyn], August 12, 2010. Infanticide, Rape (20 incidents), Assault (12 incidents), Forced Abortions (3 incidents), Forced Prostitution (12 counts), Conspiracy to Commit Forced Labor Offenses (11 counts), Forced Labor (11 counts), Alien Smuggling (11 counts) and Harboring Illegal Aliens (11 counts) [Hudson County, New Jersey area] There are several very prominent cases in the United States where mostly Hispanic illegal immigrants have been trapped into sexual slavery and other types of slavery on a wide scale. In these cases, the slavers always use abortion to help keep their women slaves under control. About thirty young girls and women from Honduras were smuggled into Hudson County, New Jersey (the New York City area). The women and girls were promised good jobs if they would pay a smuggling fee of between $10,000 and $20,000. Then they were forced to work in New Jersey for $240 a week until this huge cost was paid off. The women and girls lived five or six to a tiny room, worked seven days a week, and were expected to put all their money towards food, their smuggling debt and $250 monthly in rent. This

arrangement assured that they could never escape their slavery. In July 2005, a federal grand jury handed down an extensive indictment against Luisa Medrano of Cliffside Park and nine of her partners in an extensive human trafficking operation that took place primarily in three bars in Union City and Guttenberg. The women and girls were forced to drink with patrons and dance with them. If they objected, they were beaten and sexually assaulted. One 15-year-old girl was so severely beaten that the blood vessels in one of her eyes burst. Most of the women and girls were raped by their smugglers. If the girls became pregnant, they were forced to have abortions. In January 2005, when a 21-year-old Honduran woman was found to be pregnant, one of the slavers forced her to take pills to induce an abortion. The next day, the slavers hid the fact that she gave birth to a live baby girl who died shortly after. United States Attorney Christopher J. Christie said that "There can be no greater disregard for life than the way these women were treated and what they were forced to do to their own bodies. In essence, these women were kept as slaves." On July 20, 2005, Medrano, who owns the three bars in question, was arrested and charged with conspiracy to commit forced labor offenses, forced labor, alien smuggling and harboring illegal aliens. Earlier, Federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents had arrested alleged ring member Rosalba Ortiz of Union City and six other people and charged them as well. The indictments charged that Rosalba Ortiz Union City was a money collector and enforcer; that Xochil Nectalina [Lourdes] Rosales Martinez of Tejeras, Honduras, Zenia Zunilda Martinez, of Tejeras, Honduras, and Nancy Floridalma Rosales Martinez, of Olanchito, Honduras, were recruiters; that Elsa Consuelo Isuala-Mesa of Houston and Jose Arnaldo Isuala-Meza of Sonaguera, Honduras were transporters; and that Noris Elvira Rosales Martinez, Ana Luz Rosales Martinez, and Jose Diman Magana, all of Union City, were enforcers responsible for much of the abuse. Medrano's slavery ring apparently paid very well. She owns a beautiful home in Cliffside Park, featuring landscaped shrubs, a stone sculpture on the front lawn, a satellite dish, and a Manhattan skyline view from an upstairs deck.

Reckless Endangerment, Assault, Unlicensed Abortion, Criminal Impersonation, Forgery of a Medical Prescription, Possession of a Forged Instrument and Possession of Stolen Property Kisha Jones of Brooklyn suspected that her husband was having an affair, and she was not at all happy about it. So she decided to take revenge on the helpless baby of her husband's lover. She obtained a doctor's prescription pad and phoned in an order for the abortion pill RU-486. Jones then phoned the girlfriend, Monique Hunter, and left a voicemail message about the prescription and told her to pick it up at the pharmacy. Jones "spoofed" the calls, making it look as if they originated with the doctor's office from which she had stolen the prescription pad. Monique fell for the trick and took the abortion pill, which caused her to go into labor at seven months of pregnancy. But the baby survived and had to be housed in a hospital intensive care unit. But Jones still did not have her revenge. She wanted that baby dead in the worst possible way. So she tried to pose as the baby's mother and sent a man to the hospital with two bottles of tainted milk and instructions to nurses to feed the baby. The staff knew something was wrong and contacted police. The liquid was tested and found to be toxic. On December 9, 2009, Jones was charged with reckless endangerment, forgery of a medical prescription, possession of a forged instrument, possession of stolen property, criminal impersonation,

assault and unlicensed abortion. She also will probably face charges related to her spoofing, making it appear to Hunter's phone that she was calling from the pharmacy and from a doctor's office. Monique said that "I got a call from my doctor's office telling me to pick up a prescription at King's Pharmacy. I knew something was suspicious because King's Pharmacy was not my normal pharmacy. But I didn't think anything of it." References: Evan Buxbaum. "Woman Tried to End Rival's Pregnancy, Prosecutors Say." CNN.com, December 8, 2009; Steven Ertelt.

Sex Trafficking (3 counts), Forced Prostitution (8 counts), Death Threats (8 counts), Assault (8 counts) and Forced Abortions (5 incidents) Abortion is the ideal tool to keep underage girls from revealing the molestation committed by their fathers, uncles and other family members. If you are a pimp, abortion is also the ideal tool to keep your "girls" non-pregnant so they can make you lots of money even if the "girls" happen to be your own wives. The Carreto-Alonso prostitution ring is one of several that have been exposed over the past several years which use physical abuse and forced abortion to keep the "girls" in line. Not once have any of the abortion mills been responsible for exposing these prostitution rings. After all, they can make money off the women too, so why bother? Three Mexican men Josue Carreto, and his brother Gerardo Carreto, their friend Daniel Perez Alonso gave police all of the details on the forced prostitution ring they had operated in Queens and Brooklyn since 1991. They avoided life imprisonment by pleading guilty to sex trafficking and other charges in Brooklyn federal court on April 5, 2005. They also avoided having to face in court eight of the women they had enslaved. The ringleader of the forced prostitution operation, Josue Carreto, told Judge Frederic Block through an interpreter "We smuggled those women into the United States of America from Mexico with the intention of forcing them to engage in prostitution. I forced those women to engage in commercial sexual acts through threats of causing them injury and physical restriction." The men told how they forced the women to work every day of the week, and then took every dime of their money. Half the money went to pay for the various apartments the pimps rented to use as brothels, and half went to the pimps themselves. The pimps had "recruited" the women by seducing them and even marrying them. The men also admitted that, when the women disobeyed orders or tried to escape, they were beaten. Several of the women were forced to get abortions when they got pregnant. The pimps also admitted that at three of the victims were underage. Several other members of the Carreto family have been arrested on similar charges, including Josue and Gerardo's mother and other relatives. Reference: Kati Cornell Smith. "Hubby Pimps Guilty."

Second-Degree Murder, Second-Degree Abortion and Criminal Possession of a Weapon [The Bronx] "Tough guy" Derrick Redd's motto was "I either avoid the problem or I eliminate it." Unfortunately, he began to believe his own hype. His girlfriend Delain Wimms was due to deliver a healthy baby boy she had already named Aidan. She had already painted Aidan's room and decorated it with baby blocks spelling his name.

New York - Page 16 -

But Redd was unhappy with the baby, and had demanded that Delain have an abortion. She refused, so he took direct and murderous action. On October 25, 2008, the very day Delain was due to deliver, Redd stabbed her six times in the stomach, killing her and her preborn near-term child. Prosecutors charged Redd with second-degree murder, second-degree abortion and criminal possession of a weapon, but with no crime at all for the murder of Delain's viable and wanted unborn child. Delain's mother, Towanda Wimms, said that "It's like this baby is not being looked at as a victim and that's ridiculous. There were two victims here. This baby was intentionally stabbed." Mrs. Wimms began to push for fetal homicide laws in New York State. Of course, heartless pro-abortionists opposed attempts to pass such a law, even thought it specifically exempted abortionists. Samantha Levine of National Abortion Rights Action League's New York chapter said that "We think a better approach would be to increase penalties for individuals who assault or injure a pregnant woman." Lori Kehoe, executive director of New York State Right to Life, retorted that "You've already named the baby, you've seen the baby on the ultrasound and yet the father doesn't face any punishment? That's ridiculous. These criminals are specifically targeting these babies." Little Aidan was laid to rest in a casket beside his mother. He was dressed in the outfit his grandmother had bought for the ride home from the hospital. References: Thomas Zambito.

Second-Degree Murder [Spring Valley] 16-year-old Karesse Ebron was a junior in high school. On June 13, 2006, she told her mother that she was going to go outside to sit in her car and listen to music and call her friends on her cell phone. Instead, she met her much older boyfriend, 22-year-old Ryan Ross. Ross drove her to an isolated area near Levy Park, where she told him that she was pregnant with his child. He asked her to have an abortion, but she refused. He reacted to her refusal by beating her to death with a baseball bat. He hit her at least four times on the head and told police that he did not want her to have his baby. An autopsy showed that Karesse died from multiple fractures to her skull and face. He confessed his crime to Spring Valley and Ramapo police and directed them to Karesse's body, which was buried under leaves in the woods near Eugene Levy Memorial Park. On June 29, 2006, Ross was arraigned on a charge of second-degree murder. As he was led into the courtroom, Kenneth Ebron, Karesse's father, lunged at him and screamed "I'll kill him!" Shar-ron McCullough, Karesse's uncle, said "He's a coward. He hit her with a rock or bat in the back of the head. Was it really worth that?" Ross pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and, on March 1, 2007, Judge Catherine Bartlett sentenced Ross to 22 years to life in prison. Judge Bartlett told Ross that killing Karesse because she wouldn't have an abortion "makes no sense ... and was hard to believe. Your attitude, this court believes, is life is cheap. That makes you a dangerous human being." References: Steve Lieberman and Jane Lerner. "Neighbor Charged in 16-Year-Old's Murder; Chaos in Court."

Roscoe Glinton had a problem. He was a married father of four whose wife had recently given birth, but he having an adulterous affair with Lisa Eatmon. She had refused his repeated demands to have an abortion, and she was now eight months pregnant with a healthy 6-pound baby boy she had already named Jayden. Just two weeks previously, friends had thrown her a baby shower in her native Philadelphia. Glinton had five children by three different women other than his wife and was sinking deeper and deeper into debt. Glinton wanted to avoid the complications and embarrassment that were sure to come if his baby was born. So he took care of the problem in the most direct way possible. At about 4 in the morning of April 3, 2005, he shot Lisa in the head and dumped her body in the Hudson River. On October 25, 2006, a Manhattan jury deliberated less than two hours before convicting Glinton of second-degree murder. During his trial, Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Joan Illuzzi-Orbon summed up the situation: "An unexpected pregnancy, an unborn child of 6 pounds and 8 ounces is the reason why we're here today. That unborn fetus was about to become a huge inconvenience to the defendant, financially and socially." Lisa's sister, Darlene Jabir, said "I'm not going to say this brings closure, but at least we have the answer we've been looking for. ... Lisa will never be forgotten." This was not the first time that Glinton had come under suspicion for murder. In 1998, his first wife, Deborah, vanished, and her remains were found three years later near the New York Thruway. In her diary, Deborah had mentioned that Glinton had tried to throw a running hair dryer into the bathtub while she was bathing. References: Emanuella Grinberg.

Murder, Gross Incompetence (5 incidents), Negligence (3 incidents), Violation of Health and Safety Standards (5 counts) and Inadequate Record Keeping (3 incidents) Abortionist David Benjamin (also know as Elyas Bonrouhi) killed 33-year old Honduran native Guadalupe Negron, a mother of four at the Metro Women's Center abortion mill in Queens, New York, on July 9, 1993. Benjamin's license had been revoked a month earlier for "gross incompetence and negligence" in rupturing the uteruses of five other women, but medical officials allowed him to continue his practice. But as early as 1980, after he was dismissed from a Utica hospital for substandard work, New York health officials already knew that he was a public health menace. During Guadalupe's abortion, Benjamin proceeded to extract pieces of a 20-week old preborn baby without first performing any kind of examination. He lacerated Guadalupe's cervix and punctured her uterus, causing severe bleeding. The abortion began at 10 AM. The receptionist for the abortion mill testified that Guadalupe was moved into recovery and was not monitored for over an hour. Benjamin's wife, who acted as an assistant, took her back into the exam room and came out screaming, "Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God! Call the ambulance! Call the ambulance!" Benjamin did not summon an ambulance until 1:40 PM. Paramedics found a breathing tube inserted into Guadalupe's stomach instead of her trachea, causing stomach fluids to travel up the tube, into the mask, and down into her lungs. A paramedic said he found Guadalupe naked and bloody, while a nurse was screaming and trying to revive her in a small, unventilated room with an inadequate oxygen tank and no necessary equipment such as blood pressure cuff. The paramedic stated Benjamin lied about nature of Guadalupe's problem, hindering attempts to save her. Guadalupe's autopsy report attributed her death to massive bleeding causing shock and cardiac arrest. Benjamin was indicted on murder charges due to "depraved indifference to human life." A paramedic

New York - Page 18 -

told a reporter "I wouldn't take my dog there (Benjamin's clinic)." Benjamin was charged with second-degree murder. A news article indicates that Benjamin's attorney found fault with the paramedic for presuming the information given to him by Benjamin was complete and accurate. Benjamin's license was revoked in 1993 over charges pending prior to Guadalupe's death. Benjamin's skills were so atrocious that even the National Abortion Federation (NAF) felt compelled to applaud his murder conviction. "The evidence presented in the case makes clear that Dr. Benjamin's practices were absolutely unacceptable," said Vicki Saporta, Executive Director of the NAF. "Shoddy and substandard doesn't even begin to describe his methods. He should not have been practicing medicine." Strangely, though the NAF had done nothing prior to Guadalupe's death to stop Benjamin from practicing medicine. And Saporta, while applauding Benjamin's conviction, went so far as to blame pro-lifers for his deadly incompetence! This is classic pro-abortion thinking: They are never at fault. Whatever stupid or deadly actions they commit, the blame always lies somewhere else. They simply cannot take responsibility for their actions, and wind up instead making the nuttiest statements imaginable. Saporta said that The sad fact is that, because of the political controversy surrounding abortion, anti-choice policies exist that make it difficult for women to get basic information about the many safe, quality providers of abortion services ... A doctor like David Benjamin depends on the anti-choice extremists of this country who work to make women ashamed and fearful. We should not have back alleys in 1995, but sadly, we do because anti-abortion forces work to take funding, access and information away from women. Got that? Women are still dying from botched abortions, but not because abortionists are frequently conscienceless, incompetent, money-hungry butchers, but because of the actions of pro-lifers! Benjamin had previously been found guilty of, among other things, gross negligence, gross incompetence, and abandoning or neglecting a patient and failing to keep accurate medical records. His license had been suspended for three months and he had received a period of probation. He had also lost privileges in two hospitals in 1982 and 1983. He applied for hospital privileges in 1989, fraudulently concealing these disciplinary actions. News reports described his abortion mill as a "slaughterhouse" and "dark, filthy, poorly ventilated." News articles alleged Benjamin also did abortions in the basement of his house, and that he disappeared after an investigation into Guadalupe's death was begun. On March 16, 2000, a New York State Court of Appeals upheld Benjamin's 1995 murder conviction. He will continue serving his 25-year-to-life sentence following the decision by the Appellate Division. "This is a solid victory for patients and their families who, through the gross and depraved indifference of their medical practitioners, lose their lives," said Queens District Attorney Richard A. Brown, whose office prosecuted the case. Harold Pokel, who handled Benjamin's appeal, said he was "very disappointed in the result." Pokel had argued that testimony about Benjamin's previous problematic medical history should have been excluded at trial; it was allowed, and prejudiced the jury, he said. He promised to take Benjamin's case to the Court of Appeals, the state's highest court.

Second-Degree Murder and Credit Card Theft Emmanuel Pierre's girlfriend, Sandra Bonaventure, was a 21-year-old sophomore at the State University of New York in New Paltz. She was also seven months pregnant. He did not want the baby, but she did. So, to resolve this disagreement in the most permanent way possible, on June 25, 2005, Pierre strangled Sandra and stuffed her body into a tightly knotted garbage bag. During Pierre's trial, Joshua Cayenne, one of his fraternity brothers, said that he wanted Sandra to get an abortion, and that the baby was "gonna ruin his life." Cayenne had helped Pierre dispose of Sandra's body, and stole her credit cards after the deed was done. In April, a jury convicted Pierre of second-degree murder and, on May 12, 2005, State Supreme Court Justice James Yates sentenced him to 25 years to life in prison. Assistant District Attorney David Drucker said in his opening statement that "He wanted her to have an abortion. She thought about it and decided against it." Pierre was not charged in the death of Sandra's near-term preborn baby because New York law has no provision for the killing of a preborn baby. Sandra's mother, Mirlande Bonaventure, said that she had encouraged her daughter to have the baby; "I said, "Keep your child; might be God give you only one"." She shouted at Pierre, "Do you think you deserve to live? You showed no mercy to Sandra. You showed no mercy to your own unborn son, your own blood." Justice Yates said to Pierre, "One thing I'm taking as a fact is that you did intentionally kill her. ... This is one of the most unforgivable crimes that have come before me in 13 years on the bench." References: Karen Freifeld. "SUNY Stonybrook Student on Trial for Slaying."

Police found her body in the trunk of her car on February 22, 2005, in Queens, with a single gunshot wound to her head. Police arrested Steven Schiovone the next day for driving without a license and other traffic violations, and he was arraigned on second-degree murder and gun possession charges. Police charged him after a friend told them that Schiovone confided to him that he had "a problem" and gave the friend a gun to hide. On February 24, police announced a motive for the murder. Susan was Schiovone's brother's ex-wife and was four months pregnant with his child. Schiovone simply shot her one time in the side of the head to prevent her from revealing this fact. Susan's brother, Anthony Napolitano, and other relatives confirmed that Schiovone had repeatedly demanded that Susan abort their child. She had said that she was pro-life and refused, and so he murdered her. Napolitano said that "She had a love for life and even more love for children. We believe it was this love of life, of her refusal to get an abortion, that compelled her killer to shoot her."

Susan's uncle, Richard DiBartolo, said that "Steven was a wolf in sheep's clothing. As far as we are concerned, his name is Judas." One official said "There was a family secret. He was afraid she was going to tell his brother." On April 18, 2007, just before his trial was to begin, Schiovone confessed in court that he had murdered Susan. On May 11, he was sentenced to thirty years in prison for the crime. References: "Slain Woman Was Pregnant With Ex-Brother-In-Law's Child."

Despite all of the lofty rhetoric they churn out to the press about freedom of choice, they prove by their deeds and by their rhetoric that they could not care less about the lives of women, only money. Most tragically (and hypocritically), the feminist groups that allege that they care for women always come down on the side of the [invariably male] abortionists who abuse and wound women. When such an abortionist owns and operates an entire string of abortion mills, and surrounds himself with abortionists who are just as unscrupulous and uncaring as he is, the danger to women is multiplied exponentially. Abortionist Brigham has lost his medical licenses in six states Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Georgia, California and Florida for criminal acts committed within each state, to include life-threatening botched abortions. Most abortionists are only talented enough to lose their licenses to practice medicine in only one or two states; Brigham, in this regard, is quite talented indeed. Despite the fact that Brigham does not have a medical license, he still operates fifteen abortion mills in four states. The authorities are beginning to catch up with him, however; several of his abortion mills have been closed, including the secret Elkton abortuary, where police discovered the remains of 35 late-term aborted preborn babies in a freezer. Operation Rescue President Troy Newman said that Even though these clinics remain closed, phone numbers in those locations still ring in to a central office. Women are led to believe that abortion services are available locally, when they are not. Patients are then shuttled to other clinics controlled by Brigham. It is a way to draw in abortion customers from areas they no longer service. Is it dishonest? Of course it is, but dishonesty and deception are traits that have characterized Brighams career. New York State

Abortionist Brigham was convicted of systematic insurance fraud and tax evasion in New York State, and a judge ordered him to spend 120 days in jail, serve five years of probation, and make restitution to his victims. His New York State medical license was revoked in 1994 "upon findings of gross negligence and negligence on more than one occasion," "flagrant and dramatic deviation from accepted standards," and "inexcusably bad judgment." He actually spent a total of three weeks in jail. A New York grand jury also charged Brigham's abortion mill office manager, Elizabeth Navarra, with felony first-degree scheming to defraud. Demonstrating the pro-abortionist's typical paranoia, desperate need to excuse themselves, and utter contempt for the lives of women, Brigham's attorney claimed the New York investigation was unconstitutional and an attempt to undermine women's right to access abortions by setting impossible standards, including requiring formal agreement with a hospital in case of emergency. Brigham continued to describe himself as "a champion of a woman's right to abortion" and "a victim of political persecution." In 2001, the New York State Attorney General initiated a grand jury investigation in Albany County regarding alleged Medicaid fraud at American Women's Services, an abortion mill on Central Avenue in Colonie, and another related abortion mill in Nanuet, Rockland County. The state shut both abortuaries on May 22, 2001. On September 16, 2001, Colonie police seized 17 frozen aborted preborn children from abortions performed at the Colonie site. The clinic had failed to dispose of the babies within 30 days, as required by law, according to the state Health Department. State investigators are trying to determine who owned and operated the American Women's Services abortuary, which opened October 1, 1994, without the required state license. According to state corporation listings, Brigham owned a company called American Women's Services, which was dissolved in September 1993. "We are trying to determine his relationship to the clinic," said Wes Goforth, a spokesman in New York City for the state the attorney general's Medicaid Fraud Unit. Bank statements for American Women's Services show that Brigham was an authorized signature on the accounts, according to court testimony by Special Assistant Attorney General John Meekins of the attorney general's office. The only person performing abortions at these abortion mills was Mark Binder of Mount Vernon, Westchester County. He earned between $350,000 and $400,000 a year. From May 4 to June 13, 2001, Binder was lodged in the Albany County jail for contempt of court because he refused to turn over patient records to the grand jury, which was investigating the clinics' billing practices. The Times Union reached Brigham by leaving a message at a Voorhees, N.J., abortion clinic. In an hour-long telephone interview on September 18, 2001, Brigham refused to say if he works at abortion mills in Voorhees and Phillipsburg, as reported by New Jersey newspapers. He also refused to say whether he was involved with the New York clinics. New Jersey The revocation of Brigham's medical license in New York State didn't stop him from operating two abortion mills in the state. He also performed second-trimester abortions in New Jersey, despite a February 1994 order from the New Jersey medical board limiting him to first-trimester abortions (up to 15 weeks). On August 19, 1993, Brigham told a patient at his New Jersey clinic that she was 16 to 20 weeks pregnant. He allegedly offered to abort her child in New York for $5,000 to $10,000. The baby girl was then 32-35 weeks' gestation and was born on September 15, weighing a healthy 6 pounds, 7 ounces. The New Jersey Board of Medical Examiners finally suspended Brighams medical license on October 13, 2010, saying that Dr. Brigham has consistently and repetitively engaged in manipulative and deceptive behavior designed to circumvent the requirements of the boards termination of pregnancy

regulation and to eviscerate the protections that those regulations seek to afford to New Jersey patients. Florida Brighams medical license also was revoked in Florida, where he stepped in to handle abortions after Pensacola abortionist David Gunn was murdered in 1992. Four years later, New Jersey regulators somehow found Brigham competent to perform abortions after the state attorney general filed 14 counts of negligence, gross negligence, malpractice and professional misconduct against him concerning five abortions in New Jersey and New York. Pennsylvania Brigham retired his Pennsylvania medical license as he was being investigated for crimes committed at a clinic he ran in Wyomissing, near Reading, Pennsylvania. He was accused of fraudulent concealment of intention when signing a lease; operating an uninspected and illegally run clinic in a basement in Sinking Spring, after being banned from doing abortions at his Wyomissing office; lack of formal backup with any hospital, and accepting personal property and jewelry as collateral for abortion fees. He voluntarily surrendered his medical license in Georgia when the board notified him of its intent to suspend his license due to allegations in New York and New Jersey. Brigham was also locked out of his Erie, Pennsylvania abortion mill when the building's condominium association said he owed $15,000 in membership fees, and changed the locks on the doors because of his refusal to pay. "Just because he wants to operate an abortion clinic, that doesn't mean he doesn't have to follow the rules. We totally support the function of law enforcement. The man [Brigham] just seems to ignore any rules of business and law," said Association president Eugene Ware. Brigham said "I don't think they can change the locks. This is going to end up in court." On October 17, 2000, Erie District Justice John Vendetti issued a warrant for Brigham's arrest due to his failure to appear at a number of court hearings. Eventually, Brigham moved to the town of King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, where he opened an abortion mill called American Women's Services in April 2001. Other Abortionists Who Work for Brigham It is no surprise that a law-dodger like Brigham, who has operated up to fifteen abortion mills at a time, would hire abortionists who share his devil-may-care philosophy towards womens health. This veritable nest of abortionists includes;

Abortionist Steven Paul Regec worked at Brigham's State College and Erie abortion mills in Pennsylvania before he relocated to South Carolina. Operation Rescue confirmed that Regec refers to Brigham's American Womens Services abortion mills in Pennsylvania. In 1991, Regec pleaded guilty to violating the Controlled Substance Act and two counts of refusal or failure to keep or furnish records. Regecs medical license was suspended for four months. He paid a $10,000 fine and served two years probation. Regic has no history of ever holding a medical license in any state other than South Carolina, leading to questions as to how he could have done abortions in Pennsylvania. Abortionist Elliot Gellman works at four of Brigham's abortion mills in Voorhees, Elizabeth, Woodbridge, and Paramus, New Jersey. In 2002, Gellman was convicted of felony tax evasion for failing to file personal income taxes in New York for several years. He was sentenced to

New York - Page 23 -

three years of conditional discharge, and his New York medical license was placed on probation for three years. The State also fined him $10,000. In 2009, the New York Medical Board ordered Gellman to never practice medicine in New York State ... activate his registration ... or seek to reapply for a license. In New Jersey, Gellman served three years probation on his medical license for the New York income tax fraud case. In August 2006, he paid out a huge $3.5 million settlement in a malpractice case, according to the New Jersey Medical Board. Operation Rescue President Troy Newman said that Cases dont settle for three and a half million dollars if something very serious didnt happen. This is an indication that Gellman is a dangerous doctor with a criminal history that continues to prey on unsuspecting women. His dishonesty and incompetence are incompatible with the practice of medicine where trust is everything. Gellman continues to pose a serious danger to the public. Abortionist Mehrdad Aalai was one of the primary abortionists at Brigham's now-closed abortion mills in Baltimore and Cheverly, Maryland. Like Brigham and many of his other abortionists, he has no hospital privileges anywhere. On October 13, 1993, Aalai was charged with Medicaid fraud, theft over $500, knowingly destroying, damaging or altering medical records, and obstruction of justice. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to three years of incarceration, which was suspended on the condition that he pay a $10,000 fine, $142,570 in restitution, and successfully serve three years of unsupervised probation. The following year, Aalais Maryland medical license was revoked. Although Aalai's medical license was reinstated in 1997, he continues to be listed as a sanctioned provider who is barred from participating in Marylands Medicaid program. Abortionist David Reid Peters works for Brigham at his Virginia Beach, Virginia abortion mill. In 2001, the Virginia Board of Medicine charged Peters with prescribing drugs outside of a bona fide practitioner-patient relationship, as required by law. He further authorized the prescriptions without obtaining a medical or drug history, performing a comprehensive physical examination, providing information about the benefits and risks and without initiating additional interventions and follow-up care. Abortionist Vikram Hiralal Kaji continues to work for Brigham at his Voorhees and Woodbridge, New Jersey, abortion mills. He has no hospital privileges. In 1993, the New Jersey Board of Medical Examiners convicted Kaji of having improper sexual contact with three of his patients. Additionally, he began having sex with one young girl in his office during business hours. This was a purely predatory relationship Kaji knew full well that the girl was vulnerable, because she had been a depressed victim of child sex abuse with a history of psychiatric hospitalization. Kaji improperly prescribed drugs for her, including large amounts of Seconal and steroids, for which the New Jersey Board of Medical Examiners charged him with gross malpractice. At first, of course, Kaji denied any responsibility, but finally admitted that he had made "an error in moral judgment." Just another abortionist who cares deeply about womens rights. Both Pennsylvania and New Jersey suspended Kaji's license to practice medicine, and the State of New York revoked his medical license and banned him from further practice due to sexual misconduct and drug abuse. In 2005, the mother of one of Kajis underage patients testified before the United States House of Representatives about a coerced abortion Kaji performed on her daughter, who had been transported to him across state lines to evade parental involvement laws. At one point, Eric Harrah hired Kaji to do abortions at Penn State's State College Center. Harrah said he was aware of the first incident in Kaji's past, but not sure of the truth of the other allegations. He said that Kaji "is a fine human being. He's a wonderful doctor. I would send my sister to him, and I would send my niece to him without hesitation."

Even Pro-Choicers Condemn Brigham By 2000, Brighams reputation was so bad that even pro-choice leaders were condemning him. This is an extreme rarity, and only occurs when an abortionist is so awful and has displayed such contempt for the law and for women that the pro-choice organizations will look as if they are complicit in his activities if they do not condemn him. Carol Petraitis of the Pennsylvania chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) said she would not refer women to a facility Brigham owned. She said "It seems to me if I were sending a friend, you wouldn't want to go to a clinic that was run by somebody who has so many problems with his own medical license." Vicki Saporta, former Executive Director of the National Abortion Federation, said "Abortion is one of the safest medical procedures provided in America ... because of the quality and skill of the doctors that provide abortions. And Steven Brigham is an exception to this rule." Melinda DuBois, Director of Buffalo Womenservices, currently Buffalo's only abortion mill, said that "There are a lot of people who know this man. He owns clinics all over the place. He has a really negative past. We are concerned about a physician whose license has been revoked in New York State and has questionable medical practices."

Attempted Murder (2 counts), Suicide and Endangering the Welfare of Children (6 counts) On March 29, 2010, Fitzgerald Jolly returned home from a trip to Philadelphia. His wife, Patrona Kates, told him that she was pregnant. He screamed that "We can't afford another child!" and immediately demanded that she have an abortion, but she refused because she was happy to be pregnant. Leslie Wickham, a cousin of Patrona Kates and her twin Patricia Kates, said that "I guess he didn't want her to carry on with the pregnancy. They were arguing. He left, then came back inside, took a knife from the kitchen and started to attack them." Jolly slashed Patrona's throat with the knife and then stabbed Patricia in the stomach all in front of six terrified children Their two-year-old son Ryan, her two young nieces, and three other small children. Jolly stormed out of the house, dropped the knife in a neighbor's yard and drove away. Patricia and Patrona fled the house, pleading for help at a nearby local bar. Clerk Zaqrea Mahammed

said he was behind the counter when Patrona burst into the store. He said "I saw her come in holding her neck, bleeding all over her body. She said "Call the police! Call an ambulance!"" The twins were both taken to Jamaica Hospital, where they were both in stable condition. Patrona's preborn child was not harmed by the vicious attack. From her hospital bed, Patrona said that she feared for her life during the attack; "He tried to kill me. He wouldn't stop stabbing. I thought I was going to die. "If they [the police] find him, I hope they kill him." Jolly drove to the Whitestone Bridge, abandoned his vehicle, and jumped into the East River. A man found his body washed up on the shore of the river on April 1, 2010. References: Joe Jackson and John Lauinger. "Enraged Husband Stabs Pregnant Wife, Her Twin Sister: Cops."

Felony Attempted Murder, Use of a Handgun in the Commission of a Felony, Death Threat and Aggravated Harassment (3 incidents) [Mount Vernon] Akilah Whitley of Mount Vernon had four children, and she learned that her husband was committing adultery. In fact, her acquaintance Maxine Campbell was nine months pregnant with his child. So Whitley called Maxine and threatened to murder her and her preborn child if Maxine did not die during childbirth, and continued to harass her with numerous threatening phone calls. Then Whitley ramped it up and decided to perform a late third-trimester abortion on Maxine. On November 18, 2006, Maxine was bringing a pizza to her grandmother's home. Whitley approached her, knocked the pizza from her hands, and shot her in the stomach with a small handgun. Maxine tried to run, but Whitley fired more shots at her, then tackled her. Whitley then pointed the gun at Maxine's head and pulled the trigger, but the handgun misfired. Paramedics rushed Maxine to the Jacobi Medical Center in the Bronx, where doctors performed an emergency Cesarean section and delivered her son Maxwell. During Whitley's trial, Assistant Westchester District Attorney Christine O'Connor said that the shooting was the result of a "toxic combination of jealousy, rage and obsession, a tale as old as time ... the cheating husband, his pregnant lover and a second scorned woman." On September 27, 2007, a Westchester County jury convicted Whitley of felony attempted murder, use of a handgun in the commission of a felony and aggravated harassment. Reference: Richard Liebson. "Mount Vernon Mom Convicted in Shooting of Pregnant Rival." The Journal News [Westchester, Rockland and Putnam Counties, New York State], September 28, 2007. Kidnapping, Forgery, Gross Negligence and Criminal Abortion (3 counts) 44-year-old Annie Allison of Brooklyn decided that she was too old to have a child after she found out that she was pregnant. On September 20, 1923 she went to the office of Henry Lee Mottard, a chiropractor who practiced under the name of Dr. Henry L. Green. He killed her during the abortion and then had another unscrupulous doctor sign a death certificate saying that she had died of chronic cardiac nephritis. When police began to investigate Mottard for his involvement in a kidnap scheme, he claimed that she had died from falling down an elevator shaft. He admitted committing three abortions in his Long Island farmhouse, but denied having killed Annie. Annie's body was exhumed and it was found that she had died of an illegal

Manslaughter On July 19, 1925, 17-year-old Gertrude Wynants went to Mrs. Margaret Shott Hibbons, one of New York City's dozens of illegal abortionists, and died of abortion complications. Hibbons was charged with manslaughter in the case. Reference: New York Times, July 30, 1925. Manslaughter and Bribery On February 16, 1929, Mrs. Ruth Weir, of East Orange, New Jersey, died at Orange Memorial Hospital of sepsis contracted through a criminal abortion. On her deathbed, she said that Dr. Maurice Sturm had committed the abortion. Sturm was arrested and admitted performing the abortion, but claimed that it was not an illegal abortion because it was required to save Ruth's life. Sturm gave the judge in his manslaughter trial $1,000 (a gigantic sum in those days) and claimed that it was a "gift," not a "bribe." Not surprisingly, he was acquitted of manslaughter. References: New York Times, March 19, 22, 26, 27, 28, 30 and 31, 1930, and April 10, 1930. Homicide At noon on December 19, 1934, 19-year-old Loretta Wilson told her landlady that she was going to see a doctor. She simply disappeared. Six days later, on Christmas Day, searchers found her nude body in a thicket South of New York City. An autopsy showed that she had been dead between 12 and 24 hours, and also that she had had an illegal abortion. Her husband of two years said that he did not even know that Loretta was pregnant. Dr. John H. Becker Jr. admitted having examined Loretta on December 17, was charged with homicide in the death. He denied performing the abortion. References: New York Times, December 25, 26 and 27, 1934. Gross Negligence [The Bronx] This story shows that the abortionist's "deep and abiding care for women's health and human rights" is just so much hogwash. On December 16, 2000, abortionist Joel Novendstern performed a late second-trimester abortion at an abortuary on Eastchester Road in the Bronx. He perforated her uterus, but she was taken to the recovery room despite severe bleeding, where she complained of severe pain. Novendstern ordered a sonogram, which confirmed that he had botched the abortion and perforated the woman's uterus. This severe injury required transfer to a hospital. However, Novendstern was thinking not of his patient, but only of himself, which is typical of abortionists. He had her driven to the hospital in a car instead of an ambulance, with no medical personnel with her to assist her in her precarious situation. Abortion mill staff even removed an IV line from her before she left, and she was slipping into shock by

New York - Page 28 -

the time she arrived at Jacobi Medical Center. Records from hearings held by the state Board for Professional Medical Conduct shows that "She had abdominal pain, she was pale and she quickly became lethargic and the pads were soaked with blood." Doctors had to perform an emergency hysterectomy at the hospital to save her life. Expert witnesses testified that the perforation could potentially have been fatal, and that going into shock could have led to cardiac arrest. The IV line should have been maintained in order to administer medicine immediately, a witness testified. Novendstern claimed that he intended to call an ambulance, but that the patient's boyfriend "prevented me from doing that." The conduct board members did not find his statement credible. In other words, Novendstern jeopardized the woman's life and then attempted to save his own skin by lying. The Board for Professional Medical Conduct sustained five charges against Novendstern. The New York State Medical Review Board suspended Novendstern's medical license for six months, and he is permanently limited to practicing medicine in a hospital setting beginning in November 2003. Lori Hougens, director of New York Right to Life, said that the slap on the wrist is an insult to a woman who could have died thanks to Novendstern's incompetence. She said "If the ARB is concerned that the abortionist is a butcher whose messes may need immediate mending by qualified hospital personnel with hospital medical equipment, a much more severe punishment is needed."

Gross Negligence and Criminal Abortion 19-year-old actress Annette Camorato used the stage name of Toni Morgan. In May 1934, she went to an illegal abortionist to get rid of her preborn child, but wound up dying herself. Her brother-in-law, Dr. Harry A. Felice, was charged with homicide in Annette's death, but was later released due to lack of evidence. Reference: New York Times, July 19, 1935. Homicide (2 counts) and Criminal Abortion (2 counts) Katherine DiDonato was a 26-year-old mother of two young children, and was pregnant again. On October 13, 1936, she acted on a recommendation by drug clerk Hyman Kantor, who said that she should go to abortionist Aloysius Mulholland to solve her "problem." Mulholland botched the abortion, and on October 16, Katherine was admitted to New York City's Roosevelt Hospital to be treated for complications. She died a week later, on October 23. Both Mulholland and Kantor were arrested and charged with homicide. Reference: New York Times, October 23, 1936. Second-Degree Manslaughter, Criminal Abortion and Falsification of Records Rose Lipner was 32 years old and the mother of two young children. On January 29, 1936, she went to illegal abortionist Maxwell C. Katz at the Riverdale Maternity Hospital because she did not want a third child. Katz botched the abortion and killed her, then signed a death certificate claiming that he had operated

on Rose for a tumor. However, an anonymous caller tipped off police that the death was suspicious, and Rose's body was exhumed. During his autopsy, the medical examiner determined that Rose had died from an illegal abortion, and Katz was charged with second-degree manslaughter. Reference: New York Times, February 8, 1936. Manslaughter, Criminal Abortion and Practicing Medicine without a License On January 16, 1937, Dr. Samuel Roth performed an illegal abortion on an unnamed woman in his office while his medical license was suspended for prior offenses. On December 23, 1941, Roth pleaded guilty to manslaughter in her death and was sentenced to a year in prison. Reference: New York Times, December 24, 1941. Gross Negligence and Criminal Abortion On October 6, 1937, 22-year-old Eleanor Haynes died at Hackensack Hospital in New Jersey. Shortly before she died, she claimed that Dr. P. Ralph McFeely had performed an abortion on her. McFeely, president of the local PTA, said that he had treated Eleanor for an unspecified "minor ailment," that he had not committed the abortion that killer her. He was not indicted due to lack of evidence. References: New York Times, October 7 and December 9, 1937. Manslaughter and Criminal Abortion (2 counts) Mrs. Asunta La Rosa was a 29-year-old mother of three small children and was pregnant again. She made the fatal mistake of going to the home of a practical nurse, Mrs. Genevieve Horton, to end her pregnancy. Instead, Horton killed Asunta by botching the abortion. At the time, Horton was out on bail after facing charges for doing another illegal abortion. Reference: New York Times, May 11, 1938 Manslaughter (2 counts) and Criminal Abortion (2 counts) On April 16, 1939, an unnamed Long Beach woman went to illegal abortionists Mrs. Josephine Williams and her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Adele H. Sassen, to end her pregnancy and wound up dying instead, three days later. On April 17, 1940, Williams and Sassen were sentenced to prison for the fatal botched abortion. References: New York Times, March 21 and April 17, 1940. Manslaughter and Criminal Abortion On October 18, 1942, 23-year-old Harriet Lichtenberg of Brooklyn went to illegal abortionist Dr. Henry Katz to end her pregnancy, and wound up ending her own life as well. She died in the Royal Hospital in the Bronx, from criminal abortion complications. Katz was indicted for first degree manslaughter in Harriet's

Manslaughter and Criminal Abortion (2 counts) In July 1941, Mrs. Agnes Pearson of White Plains, New York went to Drs. Nathan Schwartz and Samuel Schwartz for an illegal abortion.

Feticide, Attempted Murder, Armed Robbery, Arson, Racketeering, Extortion, Drug Dealing, Theft and Assault According to locals, the Caf Giannini in Ridgewood, Queens, was a place that could dish up great coffee and cannoli. But it also served as a front for one of the most vicious gangs of wanna-be thugs in the long and bloody history of New York City. These young men, aged 17 to 20, committed a large range of violent errands for the Bonnano Mob and carried them out with enthusiasm. Federal prosecutors handed down three indictments against the gang of thugs known as the Giannini Crew, and these led to more than 25 guilty pleas on charges including murder, bank robbery, loan-sharking, racketeering, arson, extortion, drug dealing and gambling and even stealing church collections. The members of the Giannini Crew were charged in a wide-reaching racketeering indictment in 1998. The Crew's methods were so vicious that one judge said that she had never seen anything like it in all her years on the Federal bench. The Queens District Attorney who prosecuted some members of the gang, Richard A. Brown, said that They have never hesitated to use violence to settle a personal score, to extort a small businessman or to commit a robbery. The Caf Giannini was closed down by Federal authorities in 1998.

One of the members of the Giannani crew was 20-year-old John Clemenza, who was just as vicious as the other thugs in his gang. He had impregnated a 15-year-old girl, Cynthia Hernandez, and he ordered her to abort her six-month baby. She refused, so Clemenza ordered a younger man to shoot her. She lost her baby as a result. Clemenza was charged with and convicted of racketeering, extortion, assault, attempted murder,

Manslaughter and Criminal Abortion (2 counts) New York City was a haven for dozens of illegal abortionists before Roe v. Wade. It was the abortion capital of the world then, just as it is the abortion capital of the world today. Hundreds of women were butchered before 1970 by illegal abortionists in New York City, and they are still dying. But some tragic stories simply stand out more than others. Mrs. Sarah Howe was an illegal abortionist with a difference. She was blind. But this minor handicap didn't stop her from taking advantage of the abortion money machine. Police had had her under surveillance for some time as a suspected abortionist, and, on September 16, 1941, 23-year-old Mrs. Helen Clark went to her for an illegal abortion and was butchered and died. Howe was sentenced to prison for the crime. References: New York Times, March 3, 6, and 14, 1942. Manslaughter, Gross Negligence and Criminal Abortion (6 counts) On November 18, 1942, 26-year-old Madeline McGeehan died at Prospect Hospital in New York City after undergoing an illegal abortion at the hands of Dr. Joseph Nisonoff. Nisonoff was subsequently arrested, along with his nurse, Camille Ewald; his receptionist, Pearl Tense; and Dr. Max J. Weinstein, who probably referred Madeline to Nisonoff. Nisonoff was already out on bail after being charged with performing another botched abortion, which the woman survived. Nisonoff was sentenced to 5 years in prison, and Weinstein was jailed in the city penitentiary. References: New York Times, November 11 and December 1, 2, and 3, 1942; and March 11, and April 1 and 9, 1943; and January 21, 1945. Gross Negligence and Criminal Abortion This is yet another case of a rich woman dying at the hands of an incompetent hack. Pro-abortionists are always claiming that, if abortion is illegal, the rich will always be able to get safe abortions. As with everything else they say, they are dead wrong. This case, and the cases of many other well-off and famous women dying of illegal abortions documented in this database, prove otherwise (for example, see the Ward and Watson cases in New York State). 24-year-old Florence Nimick Schnoor was a grand-niece of billionaire Andrew Carnegie and had been raised in luxury since birth. She was also heiress to a huge Pittsburgh steel fortune. None of this saved her from an illegal abortionist. She had eloped with Richard H. Schnoor, the sergeant-at-arms of the New York State Assembly. On February 5, 1942, her new husband took her to White Plains so she could catch a train to New York City for

New York - Page 32 -

a day's shopping. She did more in the City than shopping. Later that morning, Florence's husband picked her up at the train station, and noticed that she was terribly ill. He took her straight to St. Joseph's Hospital in New York City, where she died three hours later. Despite her husband's pleas, she remained loyal to her killer, and refused to name the person who had botched her abortion. The coroner said that she had died of a "brutal and inept" illegal abortion. References: New York Times, February 15, 16 and 17, 1942. Gross Negligence and Criminal Abortion On March 9, 1942, 19-year-old Cleo Florence Moore went to the home office of Dr. Frank F. Marino for an illegal abortion. He botched the job terribly. On March 11, Cleo checked in to New Rochelle Hospital in New York City with instructions from Marino that she must not tell anyone that he had operated on her. Her initial claim was that someone had given her some abortion pills, but before she died, she named Marino as her abortionist. On March 28, 1942, Cleo died at of peritonitis. It is interesting to note that Marino was charged in the case. But, as always, both illegal and legal abortionists are corrupt to the bone and have many social connections. Marino was a member of the County Board of Supervisors, and sat on the boards of the New Rochelle Board of Education and the New Rochelle Zoning Board of Appeals, and happened to be a golfing buddy of the prosecutor of his case. Not surprisingly, Marino was acquitted at trial despite Cleo's deathbed confession. References: New York Times, March 31, April 2 and 9, August 11, September 10, and October 16, 20, 21 and 22, 1942. Manslaughter and Criminal Abortion Amelia Cardito was 34 years old, the mother of four small children, and was pregnant again. On February 14, 1944, she visited the office of illegal abortionist Dr. Anthony Renda, who botched her abortion so badly that she died nine days later in a New York City hospital. Abortionists were just as stupid then as they are now. Renda had authored three books on obstetrics, so you would think that he would not pull a "dumb crook" stunt like this but he called police to complain that Amelia's husband was shaking him down for funeral expenses. He was sentenced to seven years in the famous Sing-Sing Prison for manslaughter. References: New York Times, April 1, 21 and 22 and May 12, 1944. Gross Negligence, Criminal Abortion (2 counts), Accessory to Felony and Suicide This is yet another case of a rich woman dying at the hands of an incompetent hack. Pro-abortionists are always claiming that, if abortion is illegal, the rich will always be able to get safe abortions. As with everything else they say, they are dead wrong. This case, and the cases of many other well-off and famous women dying of illegal abortions documented in this database, prove otherwise (for example, see the Schnoor and Watson cases in New York State). Jane Ward, 22-year-old heiress to the Drake Bakeries fortune, had it all and then lost it all at the

New York - Page 33 -

hands of an illegal abortionist. On October 17, 1947, she appeared at the office of gynecologist Dr. Paul Singer, suffering from the effects of an incomplete botched illegal abortion. Singer took her to Park East Hospital, where he and plastic surgeon Dr. Oswald Glasberg completed the abortion. Jane died eleven days later, on October 28, and her autopsy confirmed the cause of death as criminal abortion. Both Drs. Singer and Glasberg were sentenced to prison along with X-ray technician Alejandro Ovalle, who pleaded guilty as an accessory, having profited from abortion referrals. Glasberg committed suicide by poisoning in prison. References: New York Times, November 11, 15 and 29, 1947; March 26, July 15, November 5 and 30, 1948; December 30, 1949; and January 10, 1950. Gross Negligence and Criminal Abortion (31 incidents) On December 1, 1948, Doris Becker went to the office of Dr. Cyril B. Babb for an illegal abortion. He botched the job, and Doris died twenty hours later at the apartment of a friend. Justice worked swiftly in those days and, just five days after he had killed Doris, Babb pleaded guilty to performing the fatal abortion. He also confessed to performing thirty other criminal abortions. Reference: New York Times, December 5, 1948. Gross Negligence and Criminal Abortion On November 18, 1953, 25-year-old Joyce Chorney went to illegal abortionist Alfred Joseph and died as a result of his botched abortion. An autopsy performed at Bellevue Hospital in New York City showed that she had died of an induced abortion. Joseph was charged with criminal abortion in her death. Reference: New York Times, November 22. 1953. First-Degree Manslaughter (2 counts) and Kickbacks (4 counts) On April 4, 1954, police broke into a private home at 2753 Sexton Place in the Bronx. They found the body of 35-year-old Gertrude Pinsky, dead from septic poisoning from an illegal abortion. Police arrested Florence Cavalluzzo, who lived there, and Hugo Frances. Later, police arrested Jack M. Werner, owner of a surgical supply shop, and Ignatius Cavalluzzo, Florence Cavalluzzo's son. Police also charged Dr. Samuel E. Witt with referring women to the abortion ring, which was evidently run by Dr. Herbert S. Wolfe. Four other doctors were charged with referring women for illegal abortions for a kickback of $30 apiece. These were Joseph F. Pacelli, Abraham Cohen, Kalman Molnar, and Poon Lim. Francese and Florence Cavalluzzo were convicted of first-degree manslaughter in Gertrude's death. References: New York Times, April 5, 6 and 8, and June 18, 1954, May 10 and 11, 1955 and December 12, 1956. Gross Negligence and Criminal Abortion This is yet another case of a rich woman dying at the hands of an incompetent hack. Pro-abortionists are

always claiming that, if abortion is illegal, the rich will always be able to get safe abortions. As with everything else they say, they are dead wrong. This case, and the cases of many other well-off and famous women dying of illegal abortions documented in this database, prove otherwise (for example, see the Schnoor and Ward cases in New York State). 32-year-old Virginia Hopkins Watson had it all. She had been on the record-setting relay swimming team with Ester Williams in 1939, and had set the world's fifty-meter record in 1938. Her fame allowed her to pursue a Hollywood career, but she became pregnant in 1954. She decided that a baby would hurt her career, and so decided to have an abortion on November 18. Her husband only learned of the pregnancy and the abortion just a few hours before Virginia's death from peritonitis at General Hospital in Los Angeles. Reference: New York Times, December 1, 1954. Manslaughter (2 counts) and Criminal Abortion This hideous case shows that "pro-choicers" are cowards and are always trying to take the easy way out, not only by killing their preborn children, but by killing women as well. Jacqueline Smith was a 20-year-old fashion designer from Lebanon, Pennsylvania. She moved to New York City and found an apartment with two other young women. She began spending more and more time with her boyfriend Thomas G. Daniels, and in December 1955 became pregnant by him. Daniels told Jacqueline that he did not want to marry her, and arranged for a scrub nurse, Leobaldo Pejuan, to perform an abortion on her at his apartment on Christmas Eve. Pejuan grossly botched the abortion and called Dr. Ramiro Morales, who arrived and told Pejuan that Jackie was dead. So Daniels and Pejuan cut Jackie's body into about fifty pieces and took it to Pejuan's home. They wrapped the pieces in cheerful and colorful Christmas wrapping paper and disposed of them in trash cans along side streets off Broadway Avenue. On December 30, Jackie's father arrived to visit her, and Daniels reported her missing. So both of them went to the police to report her disappearance. Daniels spun a tale to the police, saying that Jackie had gone into the bathroom and stabbed herself to death due to his refusal to marry her, and that he had dumped her body in the Hudson River. Police found medical instruments in Pejuan's apartment. Pejuan pleaded guilty and testified against Daniels. Pejuan was sentenced to 7 years in prison, and Daniels was sentenced to eight years. References: New York Times, January 12, 13, 14 and 28, May 30, and June 27 and 28, 1956. Homicide (2 counts), Criminal Abortion (2 counts) and Falsifying a Death Certificate (2 counts) On January 21, 1961, abortionist Mandel M. Friedman killed 23-year-old Vivian Grant of New York City during one of his frequent botched abortions. He tried to cover up his crime by contacting a Queens undertaker and asking him to arrange for her burial. Friedman told the undertaker that Vivian had died of a heart ailment. The undertaker immediately notified the police, and a medical examiner found that Vivian had not been pregnant, but that Friedman had performed an abortion on her anyway in order to make some easy money (this is a practice that is not uncommon today). Authorities charged Friedman with homicide and falsifying a death certificate. This, of course, was not the end of the story, because Friedman was not immediately jailed. He was set free on bail to butcher other women. On September 11, 1962, he fatally botched another abortion on 35-year-old Florida socialite Barbara C. Covington. Being an abortionist with very little imagination,

New York - Page 35 -

Friedman did exactly the same thing he did before. He claimed that Barbara died of heart disease and tried to get an undertaker to bury her without an inquiry. Again, the undertaker notified police, and again Friedman was arrested and charged with homicide. References: New York Times, January 24, 1961, September 13, 1962, and September 14, 1962. Second-Degree Manslaughter and Criminal Abortion Barbara Lofrumento was a 19-year-old college student who had gotten pregnant by her boyfriend. When she informed her parents, they made use of their connections and found Princeton graduate Dr. Harvey Lothringer. On June 2, 1962, the abortionist examined Barbara and found that she was five months pregnant. He took Barbara and her mother to his office in his home in a wealthy section of Queens on June 3 and gave her an abortifacient injection. Mrs. Lofrumento left her daughter at Lothringer's office and went home. Hours later, she returned with her husband but found no sign of Lothringer or Barbara. On June 4, they returned to Lothringer's home, where they found several patients, none of which had seen him. Finally, Barbara's parents notified police that Barbara was missing. It turned out that Lothringer was not only a fiend, he was abysmally stupid even by abortionist standards. Later the same day, Lothringer called a policeman friend, telling him that he was away on business and asking him to call Roto-Rooter about the stopped-up toilet and to let them into the house. The Roto-Rooter man found the toilet backed up, partially flooding the bathroom, and he also found more water in the basement. Eventually, the Roto-Rooter man found the source of the problem pieces of human bone and flesh flushed down the toilet. Investigators took the remains and soon began digging up the sewer lines leading from the abortionist's house. Lothringer had chopped Barbara up into small pieces and flushed her entire body down the toilet, and workers found pieces of Barbara, her clothing, and her baby, none of which were more than a few inches long. Barbara's orthodontist identified a section of her jaw with the teeth still in it. Lothringer, who had already been under police surveillance for suspected abortion activities, fled the country, with his receptionist, a Cuban-born former stewardess. Police conducted an international manhunt, and finally arrested Lothringer in France. He pleaded guilty to second-degree manslaughter at trial and was sentenced to two years in prison. When Barbara's mother heard of the light sentence, she screamed and fainted, and Barbara's father called it "discount justice." This is just another of many examples of rich New York City abortionists murdering women and getting off with a slap on the wrist. And, as this database proves, they are still doing it today. References: New York Times, June 8, 11, 12, 13 and 14, October 31, and December 6, 1962, and May 22 and July 23, 1964. Manslaughter and Criminal Abortion Howard Bailey was a man of many talents. He was a married Queens patrolman, practiced adulterer, and, when he had to be a procurer of illegal abortionists.

New York - Page 36 -

His affair with 33-year-old Rita Shea of Long Island yielded predictable results. She became pregnant. So, on December 4, 1965, Bailey met Rita in a motel room near Kennedy Airport and a Texas medical student, Benjamin Lockhart, performed an abortion on her. He botched the job, and she died, so Bailey took Rita's body and put it in a car outside her home. Lockhart and morgue attendant Victor Genz were arrested and Lockhart was charged with manslaughter. References: New York Times, December 19 and 26, 1965. Attempted Murder, Malpractice (8 incidents), Falsifying Records (6 incidents) and Fraud On June 6, 1993, abortionist Stanley Brown tried to run down 79-year old pro-lifer Mrs. Margaret Cowell with his car. Brown had his medical license suspended for two years by the by the State Board of Health in 1988 for leaving preborn body parts in women's uteruses; perforating uteruses; acting as both anesthesiologist and surgeon; administering the wrong anesthesia; performing tubal ligations without the consent of the patients; for having gaps and blanks in his medical records; for falsifying diagnoses to insure payment; misjudging a 17 week preborn baby for a 10 week baby, and other violations. References: Rev. John T. Murphy, "Violence and Disruption Report," December 15, 1994; Rev. John T. Murphy, Save the Babies Foundation newsletter, November 1994, page 2. Infanticide Abortionist Boyd Cooper performed a July 1979 abortion at 23 weeks at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. The 2-pound, 2-ounce infant boy gasped and attempted to breathe, but no efforts were made to revive or help the little one, because he was so small and the parents wanted him dead. So the little baby was placed in a utility room used as an infant morgue. Cooper instructed a nurse, "Leave the baby there it will die." The nurse testified that the infant was still gasping in the closet when she returned to work 12 hours later. Cooper then agreed to allow the baby to be transferred to intensive care, where the infant died 4 days later. To show the depths of denial the medical community will go to in order to protect abortionists, the infant's death was ruled "accidental!" Reference: Philadelphia Inquirer, August 2, 1981. Gross Negligence, Kidnapping, Child Rape, Sexual Assault, Sexual Misconduct, Assault, Lewd Behavior, and Indecent Exposure (700 incidents) Abortionist Ronald Tauber was convicted in 1982 of first degree criminal sexual assault and second degree criminal sexual misconduct. On July 14, 1980, he kidnapped a six year old girl "and did engage in sexual penetration with said victim." Tauber was convicted after the state proved he had forcibly transported the girl in his car against her will. Tauber admitted exposing himself to the girl and placing her hand on his penis. He also lifted the child's undergarment to expose her vulva. Tauber released the girl when she began to cry. He was charged November 10, filed a motion of insanity March 15, 1982, was ordered to undergo a psychiatric examination relating to the insanity claim on March 30, and was arrested again April 22, 1982 on a charge of "indecent exposure, assault with intent to commit kidnapping, and assault with intent to commit sexual penetration of a female minor in Birmingham, Michigan." He spent seven years in prison on these charges.

New York - Page 37 -

He also admitted that, on December 7, 1981, he engaged in masturbation in his car while children were exiting Cody High School. The Board dropped the revocation proceedings because Tauber was expected to be incarcerated beyond the expiration of his medical license. He had previously killed 34-year old Gloria Small in a botched abortion in Florida, and admitted to exposing himself to more than 700 women and young girls. Amazingly, despite his sordid record, he is still currently licensed to commit abortions in New York State. This shows how the medical profession will protect abortionists, no matter how incompetent or depraved, at any cost. As a side note, some pro-aborts will object that it is unfair to count 700 incidents of "violence" attributed to just one person. This is hypocritical, since they still gleefully count the 500 fake anthrax mailings by one person Clayton Lee Waagner to abortion mills as 500 separate incidents of violence in their lists of "anti-choice violence."

Communicating Interstate Threats (2 counts) Theodore Shulman is a excellent example of how warped parents can pass on their twisted values to their children. Agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation arrested Shulman on February 24, 2011 and charged him with two counts of communicating interstate threats.. He described himself as the first pro-choice terrorist, and ran a blog called Operation Counterstrike. His motto was Right-to-lifism is murder, and ALL right-to-lifers are bloody-handed accessories. Swear it, believe it, proclaim it, and act on it. Shulman sent threatening messages to many pro-life leaders, including Robert F. George, Father Frank Pavone of Priests for Life, Jill Stanek, Bryan Kemper, pro-life scientist Gerard Nadal, and many others. He seemed especially obsessed with Jill Stanek, sending her more than 4,000 messages in four years, including one that read Im looking forward to watching a documentary entitled The Assassination of Jill Stanek. Shulman frequently harassed Operation Rescues Cheryl Sullenger, threatening her one time by saying You should covert to pro-choice during the few months you have left on this earth, or else you will go to Hell and burn. When pro-life hero Dr. Bernard Nathanson died, he wrote that Unfortunately, he died in his bed. He was not killed by a pro-choice counterterrorist. Too bad, he would have been a most effective target. Shulman did not only target pro-life leaders; he also considered even peaceful picketers to be targets of murder. In August 2010 post, Shulman applauded when a pro-abortionist threatened pro-lifers outside an abortion mill, and advised him to use more effective terrorist tactics: Remember, dont threaten right-to-lifers at abortion clinics. Any drama at the clinic is bad for the clinic. Wait until the protest ends, follow a protester home, and THEN do your thing. That way, you can involve the right-to-lifers family in your action.

New York - Page 38 -

Self-described pro-choice terrorist Theodore Shulman. Despite all of the terroristic threats he made against pro-lifers, not one pro-choice group condemned his violent rhetoric. His mother Alix Kates Shulman boasted of aborting four of Theodores siblings, saying that not one was the result of carelessness. She also wrote the 1972 sex novel Memoirs of an Ex-Prom Queen. Cheryl Sullenger said that This is a huge relief to us that Ted Shulman is behind bars where he belongs. He often posted threatening comments to our web site and called me on my cell phone too many times to count. He was always brazen in his threats and openly identified himself, telling us not to bother calling the FBI because they would never do anything for us. Thankfully, he was wrong about that, and we hope that, in addition to his New York charges, he will also be charged in Kansas. We continue to work with the FBI on the Shulman case and on other cases of death threats we have received. Naturally, not one pro-choice group condemned Shulman or his threats. But you can bet all the money you have in the bank that, if a pro-lifer had sent such messages to any pro-choicer, the hypocrites would have screamed their bloody heads off to the press, to the FBI, to the police, and to anyone else who was foolish enough to listen.

Gross Negligence (2 incidents)

New York - Page 39 -

Abortionist Edward Rubin fatally botched second-trimester abortions on Lynn McNair, a 24-year-old mother of two, on March 24, 1979, and Dawn Mendoza, also a mother of two, on June 29, 1988. In the latter case, Mendoza's brother had accompanied her and was instructed to wait in a grassy park across the street and come back to get her at 4 PM. He returned and was told to wait two more times, and when he returned at 5:30, his sister was dead. She "started gasping for breath, and then she yelled out." Her blood pressure fell and the abortion mill staff attempted resuscitation, but they did not bother to call an ambulance. References: Autopsy report #88-1488; and New York Post, July 4, 1989. Gross Negligence, Negligence (6 incidents), Violation of Health and Safety Standards (19 incidents) and Falisification of Medical Records The Death of a Little Girl On January 24, 1985, abortionist Alan Kline aborted and killed 13-year old Dawn Ravenell at the Eastern Women's Center abortion mill. Dawn's 15-year-old boyfriend paid the $450 abortion fee with a family member's credit card. Osteopathic nurse Robert Augent gave Dawn only half the dose necessary for the operation. Dawn awoke five minutes into the abortion procedure and began to vomit and choke. Kline put a breathing tube into her throat and failed to extract the remainder of the preborn child. Despite her obviously serious difficulties, Kline left her unattended in the abortion mill's recovery room, where she suffered a heart attack and slipped into a coma. Dawn was 21 weeks pregnant when a Queens school counselor sent her to the abortion mill without her parent's knowledge or consent. Kline did not even speak to her before putting her under anesthesia. Thomas Principe, attorney for Dawn's estate, said that "The child was just another piece on the assembly line." Her parents were notified only when she was brought to St. Luke's Hospital. She was comatose for three weeks and died on February 11, 1985. In an interview, her mother said They told me I had to come in [to St. Luke's] right away, that Dawn is here at that hospital fighting for her life ... How could she be fighting for her life? She left this morning, going to school, looking healthy, never been sick ... While I was in the hospital sitting there, I had to keep my hand over my mouth to keep from screaming in horror. I could not believe this was happening. I said this is a bad dream, I'm going to wake up and this would not have happened. When a judge asked Kline if his patient's young age had captured his attention, he responded, "Oh, no. I've done 13-year-olds before. When they're 10, maybe I'll notice." Court testimony showed that Kline and the abortion mill fabricated medical records in attempt to conceal their mistakes. The Court awarded $1.2 million to the plaintiffs, and the jury labeled his callous indifference to human life "an abomination." Kline testified in defense of fellow abortionist Harold Ticktin, who aborted a 7-month fetus he had estimated as 3 months, stating that he himself had mistaken gestational ages by as much as 10 weeks. Interestingly, when Paul Hill murdered abortionist Bayard Britton and his bodyguard in Pensacola, outside the Pensacola Women's Medical Services abortion mill, Kline made a huge media event out of riding to the rescue. He appeared at the clinic with a police escort and a bulletproof vest for the cameras, and promised to cheering "pro-choicers" that he would continue to provide "reproductive services," even at the risk of his life. Nobody talked about the life of Dawn Ravenell at these press conferences. Nobody cared.

Many More Victims Dawn Ravenell was certainly not the only victim of the Eastern Women's Center abortion mill, a longstanding member of the National Abortion Federation (NAF). For decades, this abortion mill has been operated in a manner consistent with the lurid tales feminists like to tell of those (usually fictional) backalley butcher shops; June 3, 1972 A suit by Virginia Whitehill after an abortion at Eastern claimed uterine and bladder perforation leading to a total hysterectomy, and that she suffered from depression and had attempted suicide. June 3, 1975 Wolf Elkan or Noel Mohammed aborted Maxine Levinson at Eastern. She alleged injuries and the development of Ashermans Syndrome. October 29, 1975 Wolf Elkan aborted 14-year-old Colleen Carter after placing her under general anesthesia. But he allowed a surgical lamp to contact her thigh during the procedure, causing secondand third-degree burns to the skin, and plastic surgery was required to repair the damage. February 28, 1976 Richard Lumiere aborted Alfa Kaenel, who subsequently alleged an incomplete abortion and hemorrhage in her lawsuit. September 9, 1978 Bakhtaver Irani aborted Catherine Moran and perforated her uterus and injured her bowel. She was hospitalized and was rendered possibly infertile. She won a $250,000 jury verdict. July 18, 1980 William Walden aborted Bernadette Heyward. The subsequent suit alleged incomplete abortion and infection. November 5, 1980 Alice Peckelis had an IUD inserted at Eastern. She alleged infection, lack of informed consent, internal scarring and possible infertility. January 22, 1982 Abortionist Hanan Rotem perforated Angela Harrisons uterus. A jury returned a $300,000 verdict against him in a subsequent trial. May 20, 1983 Kirk Young aborted Florence Atson and perforated her uterus. She required a hysterectomy. March 23, 1984 A lawsuit filed by Janie Rodriguez alleged lack of informed consent, lack of information about alternatives, and injury from an abortion and IUD removal on March 23, 1984 by Dr. Yann Jeng at Eastern. Jeng failed to diagnose her ectopic pregnancy even though a pathology report indicated that there were no products of conception after the abortion, and that her subsequent pregnancy test was positive. The ectopic pregnancy ruptured, causing shock, hospital admission and the removal of her right Fallopian tube. She settled for $190,000. 1987 The incredibly long list of deficiencies noted at Eastern in a 1987 inspection would not be tolerated at a veterinarians office, but the medical authorities seem to wink at them at any abortion mill;

"At the time of the survey it was apparent that the facility could not ascertain the whereabouts of the Medical Director. During the four survey days, the Medical Director was not in attendance, nor could he be contacted;" "The inadequacy of staff, the lack of medical direction and supervision, and the inappropriate role of the Nurse Practitioners demonstrate the lack of control over the facility's day to day operation;" "The facility fails to have adequate staff and equipment to provide the health services for which the facility was established. An RN was by job description the Director of Gynecology. This person made independent and unsupervised decisions concerning the insertion of Laminaria and hence admission of patients to the facility;" "recovery room was under the supervision of an LPN;"

New York - Page 41 -

no organized medical staff; "facility failed to retain on file applications for admission to the medical staff and professional references indicating physicians relevant medical experience;" lack of an operating room log; failure to verify health status of new employees prior to employment; lack of documentation of admitting privileges by some medical personnel at a backup hospital; lack of written criteria on laminaria insertions; "no policies and procedures indicating that a registered nurse is responsible for assisting the physician before or after a Termination of Pregnancy procedure;" "no policies and procedures to indicate which personnel are authorized to document information in the medical records;" lack of medical assistant training protocols; unqualified staff reviewing medical histories with patients; standing order sheet was undated and unsigned; "Counseling notes failed to adequately document patient problems and needs. Medical records do not contain evidence that patients undergoing general anesthesia have been counseled to have escort available upon discharge. Patients at times travel to cities such as Philadelphia with no note of escort on chart;" failure to administer RhoGam within 72 hours of the abortion for RH incompatibility; medications are not always ordered by physicians; doses of medications are not always noted; names of medications are not always noted; incomplete or lacking documentation of adverse drug reactions; patient given the wrong drug; no qualified person supervising medical records department, some requested records could not be located; "Nursing assistants were writing surgical notes without counter-signature of surgeons;" Nurse-practitioners inserting laminaria without physician written order or examination; failure to audit medical records; no follow-ups documented for abnormal lab results; three abortions performed on one patient in just four months; records lacking lab results; abnormal cultures noted but not repeated; complete history and physical missing from charts; incomplete physical exams in charts; non-medical patient facilitator notes what procedure is to be done; no evidence of physicians appointed to oversee anesthesia, recovery, and operating room; anesthesiologist supervised by the nursing director; failure to appropriately screen for anemia, cervical cancer, STDs, and other factors, and lack of post-op follow-up reports; ceiling tiles were discolored, moldy, or missing; dirty IV poles in procedure room; one scavenger vent needed to be cleaned; dried blood on the storage room wall; fire corridor blocked by linen cart and other fire corridors blocked with cabinets, supplies, a copy machine, and supply shelves; most exit lights on the sixth floor were inoperative; operating rooms were used for storage of boxes; and

New York - Page 42 -

IV tubes and solutions were reused.

January 23, 1987 An Eastern abortionist botched a procedure on a woman who experienced heavy bleeding. The next day, she was admitted to a hospital, which noted "increased bleeding with paralytic ileus and abdominal distention. The Statement of Deficiencies in this case indicated that a vacuum abortion to be done, but there was no note by medical professional on what procedure was actually done; also, OR time noted as 30 minutes, which is long for vacuum aspiration. February 7, 1987 Felicia Belvin received an abortion from Kirk Young at Eastern, but the abortion was incomplete and she required a second procedure. April 10, 1987 A woman had an abortion at Eastern. On May 15, she called the abortion mill and reported very heavy bleeding and cramping. Abortion mill personnel noted that "This is probably her first real period after procedure," and told her to relax, use a cold compress, reassured her, and told her to return if the symptoms persisted. The patient called on May 20, saying that she was feeling better. On June 25, she called again, reporting heavy bleeding, and was told to return to the abortion mill two days leter for evaluation; at that time, her hematocrit had decreased by 8%. She was evidently not evaluated by a physician regarding her symptoms when she first called; then, after second call, she was delayed two days before a follow-up appointment. This resulted in a "1 month delay in patient being re-examined by MD and receiving treatment. January 12, 1988 A 17-year-old girl who was 20 weeks pregnant was aborted at Eastern. The abortionist perforated her uterus, and she was hospitalized for five days, requiring completion of the abortion, repair of a large cervical tear, and repair of the uterine perforation. Investigators of this case found that the abortion mill; failed to document when a doctor was consulted, when the procedure was initiated, and when the patient was transferred to the recovery room and to the hospital; notes written by the abortionist were "vague and non-specific;" the physician's signature for the initial exam were not the same as the abortionist performing the abortion; the victims medical history did not appear to have been reviewed; and there was no evidence that a social worker attended to the patient, who had a previous abortion at the age of 15.

The complaint stated that the "facility has not responded in the written investigative report to the issue of discrepancies in gestational age by: date, 8 weeks; exam, 12 weeks; and specimen, 20 weeks. What is to be done regarding the competency and care in performing the physical examinations?" 1988 The Eastern abortion mill was assessed a penalty of $42,000, was required to conduct a Quality Assurance Review of abortion procedures, had to perform an evaluation and revision of nursing policies and implement in-service education for medical and nursing staff, was told to review the credentials of all of its physicians, and was ordered to develop approved protocols for quality assurance audits. A 1988 inspection noted that a patient had indicated taking heart medication on a history she had completed, but anesthesia notes said "no known med. illness." February 1989 There were many major deficiencies cited in an inspection of the Eastern abortion mill, which included the following; 3 LPNs and 2 RNs lacked CPR recertification; Patient Facilitator's job description includes describing abortion procedures and risks, which the Patient Facilitator is not qualified to explain; there were no records in files of pelvic exams performed on patients while under anesthesia;

New York - Page 43 -

there were incomplete lab reports on Rh negative patients; the anesthesiologist failed to listen to patients' lungs prior to abortions; and there was no written clarification that RNs are responsible as circulating nurses in the operating rooms.

August 10, 1990 Abortionist Orin Moore aborted Jin Pang at Eastern. She was injured and required hospitalization and a hysterectomy. August 3, 1991 21-year-old Dawn Marie Mack went to Eastern for an abortion. She went into respiratory and cardiac arrest, and the abortion mill personnel failed to adequately respond to "the precipitous drop in Plaintiff's blood pressure, cardiac arrhythmia leading to cardiac arrest and cessation of respiration." She was transported to a nearby hospital by ambulance, where the doctors tried and failed to save her life. Dawn died later that day. Her survivors filed a lawsuit which alleged; carelessness in hiring and negligent supervising staff; lack of emergency protocol and staff skilled in treating emergencies; lack of adequate equipment; failure to maintain equipment appropriately; failure to administer timely and properly dosed medications; failure to convey risks of anesthesia; failure to adequately evaluate via exam and medical history prior to anesthesia; failure to allow sufficient time to administer anesthesia and perform abortion in a safe and careful manner; inadequate staff training; failure to adequately monitor anesthesia; failure to accurately chart and record observations and responses; failure to anticipate potential complications; and failure to advise of the risks of abortion.

The complaint said that "No reasonable person would have undergone the procedures which were performed upon the decedent plaintiff if the level of skills and ability of staff and other medical personnel, together with the amount, kind and condition of equipment on the premises had been disclosed to decedent plaintiff." January 7, 1992 Sally Nieves suffered multiple perforations at the hands of abortionist Jeffrey Moskowitz at Eastern. She was released from the abortion mill without the perforations being detected, and had to be hospitalized. February 24, 1993 Abortionist Herbert Leiber botched a second-trimester abortion on 23-year-old Venus Ortiz had an abortion done by Herbert Leiber. He was negligent in administering anesthesia; failed to establish an airway; administered Brevital, fentanyl, and midazolam in dosages and in a manner contrary to standards of practice, causing a synergistic reaction; and failed to diagnose and attend to cardio-pulmonary arrest in a timely manner. Surgical notes of 5:35 PM indicate "2:35 PM end of surgery ... we noticed patient's ashen color and the pulse oximeter tracing and digital readout were gone from the monitor." Venus is now in a permanent nonresponsive coma and requires a permanent respirator. This was her fourth abortion at the young age of 23, but she had not been referred to a social worker. She was hospitalized for and was then transferred to a permanent nursing home for care. References: Ray Kerrison. "A Child Died in the Care of this 'Hero' Abortion Doc." New York Post,

Gross Negligence On January 15, 1989, Ghanaian native Eunice Agabgaa entered the Y&P Medical Clinic abortion mill in New York City for an abortion at the hands of Abram Zelikman. After the abortion, Zelikman left the clinic while Eunice was in recovery from the abortion. Unfortunately, Zelikman had botched the abortion so badly, Eunice died. A friend who was present at the clinic testified that she pleaded with the clinic staff to call paramedics once she noticed Eunice's bloodied body and poor vital signs. Her friend stated "I felt if I hadn't been there, they would have wrapped her dead body and thrown it in the garbage."

Rape (2 counts), Sodomy (2 counts) and Death Threat [Yonkers] Theodore Hendrickson raped a 16-year old girl in April 1999 and again in December of that year after she had turned 17. Hendrickson threatened to "make her disappear" if she told anyone about the rapes. He had previously driven her to an abortion mill to have her preborn child exterminated when she was only 15. He also sodomized a little 11-year-old girl in the Summer and around Halloween of that year. This little girl said she couldn't understand how Hendrickson had shown no remorse for causing her pain she will have to endure for the rest of her life. She wrote "I will make sure that my daughter never has to go through what I went through and feel the hurt and pain that I have felt and still go through." In July 2004, a jury convicted Hendrickson of first- and third-degree rape and first- and second-degree sodomy for four separate incidents of sexual abuse he committed in 1999. On September 13, 2004, Westchester County Judge Lester Adler sentenced Hendrickson to 30 years in state prison, two consecutive 15-year terms, one for each victim. The judge called his sexual abuse of the girls "deplorable" and said "It is inexcusable. It is deviant. It is sick. It is demented. And it is sadistic." References: Jonathan Bandler.

Rape, Sexual Abuse, Criminal Abortion and Practicing Medicine Without a License Appukkutta Narayanan advertised himself as a homeopathic doctor in New York City. On June 2, 2002, a woman went to his 12th-floor apartment answering an ad for a housekeeping job. He grabbed her and tried to rape her, police and prosecutors said. She managed to free herself and call 9-1-1. Narayanan was arrested and charged with rape and sexual abuse. After he was arrested, the woman told investigators she saw medical equipment throughout his apartment, including a suction machine used to perform abortions. Police got a search warrant and discovered a clinic's stock of equipment such as syringes, surgical trays, an examination table and several bottles of pills.

New York - Page 45 -

Neighbors said they saw men and women frequently coming and going at Narayanan's apartment, where a sign on his door showed a picture of him wearing a stethoscope and billed him as a "homeopathy doctor." Alonzo Lugo, the building superintendent, became suspicious when he saw the sign go up in April 2002. He said "He said he's a doctor, but I didn't know if he's a doctor." Narayanan advertised his services in fliers and newspapers. A tiny ad in the Indian Times said he was capable of treating psychiatric, skin-related, venereal, asthma and children's illnesses. Narayanan does not have a license to practice medicine in New York. He was charged with unauthorized practice of a profession in addition to the rape charges, which carried a bail of $50,000.

Criminal Abortion (4 incidents), Assault (5 incidents) and Tax Evasion (4 Counts) New York capo Michael "Trigger Mike" Coppola ran large narcotics and numbers rackets in Harlem in the 1940s and 1950s. When his wife Ann became pregnant, Coppola told her in no uncertain terms that he did not want any more children, since he had two sons by his previous wife Doris. One day, without telling her, he invited an illegal abortionist to the house after the children had gone to school. The abortionist spread a sheet over the kitchen and aborted Ann while a smiling Coppola watched the entire procedure, obviously enjoying it. The same abortionist performed three more illegal abortions on Ann, with "Trigger Mike" watching and enjoying the spectacle each time. Ann finally realized that the only reason her husband had sex with her was to get her pregnant so he could watch her suffer through one abortion after another. Coppola often beat and physically abused Ann. One time he blackened both her eyes by poking them with his fingers Three Stooges-style. After five years of hideous abuse, Ann finally filed for divorce, and "Trigger Mike" pleaded guilty to four counts of tax evasion. He was sentenced to a year and a day in prison. He retired from the "business" after being released from prison, and died in 1965. Reference: Anthony Bruno. "Married to the Mob: Mafia Wives and Mistresses: The Wives of "Trigger Mike"."

Second-Degree Assault and First-Degree Abortion On June 28, 2003, Anthony Puglia assaulted his pregnant live-in girlfriend, Julie Harris, who was 29 years younger than him, beating her so severely that she miscarried her near-term healthy twins. He deliberately and repeatedly kicked and punched her in the stomach during the attack. Junior Espada, the apartment building's superintendent, said "I don't know what happened in the apartment, but she came down by me and said that "Tony just kicked me out"." Espada called 9-1-1 when he saw that Julie was in pain. Julie was taken to North Central Bronx Hospital, where she delivered the twins, who were stillborn, police said. Police also said Julie was 34 to 36 weeks pregnant and the babies were in healthy condition prior to the assault. Puglia was originally was charged only with third-degree assault on Julie. But that charge was upgraded to second-degree assault and first-degree criminal abortion in connection with the twins' deaths. These were the only charges that could be brought in the city that has been the abortion capital of the United States since long before Roe v. Wade.

Aggravated Assault [Bridgewater, New Jersey] On September 21, 1998, pro-abortionist Drew Stauffenberg was charged with aggravated assault for having physically attacked his wife, resulting in the death of their preborn child. Stauffenberg's wife told police that her husband had "expressed a wish for her to have an abortion" after finding out that she was pregnant. Police note that the attack, which occurred after an argument on August 30th, involved Stauffenberg bear-hugging her and repeatedly squeezing her stomach. After pulling away and warning her husband that he would hurt the baby, his wife reports that he punched her in the stomach and physically forced her out of the house. After an examination, doctors at Somerset Medical Center in Somerville determined that her 10-week-old preborn child had died as a result of her injuries, which caused damage to her amniotic sac and uterus.

Assault (2 incidents), Attempted Criminal Abortion and Criminal Possession of a Weapon Abortionist Stephen Pack, 44, of the posh Westchester County community of Chappaqua, New York (where Bill and Hillary Clinton have purchased a huge house) was arrested by police after attempting to involuntarily abort his mistress, Joy Schepis, a 31-year-old nurse, by repeatedly stabbing her in the leg with a syringe filled with the abortifacient drug methotrexate on April 14, 2000. He had asked her to have an abortion, but she had refused, and said that she would take care of her baby without his support. But this was not good enough for Pack. Witnesses said that Pack shouted "I'm giving you an abortion ... You are such a bitch!" as he struggled with her and forced her to the ground near a hospital's parking garage. He was arrested minutes later and was arraigned on April 16 on charges of assault, criminal abortion, and criminal possession of a weapon. Joy suffered five stab wounds to her leg and one to her buttocks in the attack outside Montefiore Hospital, in the Bronx, where she was admitted in stable condition. She underwent a leucovorin rescue, a procedure recommended by New York City Poison Control to counteract the drugs shot into her. Two days after the brutal attack, Joy gave a news interview on the steps of her home and said "I'm in shock. I'm scared. I'm terrified. This is the worst time of my life. ... Pray for me and pray for the baby I'm carrying." Andrew Rubin, Pack's attorney, said that after the attack, Pack did not try to flee or discard the needle. Instead, he walked into North Bronx Central Hospital, next door to Montefiore, where he deposited the syringe in a receptacle that is used for that purpose, and told people what he'd done. Pack is married and the syringe attack apparently was his attempt to abort the 6- to 8-week-old unborn child. Hospital employees told investigators that Pack and the nurse had been romantically involved for more than a year, and that he believed she was six weeks pregnant. Pack said he learned about methotrexate, a labor-inducing drug that works as part of the RU-486 abortion pill process, in an article in The New England Journal of Medicine. He ordered the drug, filled two syringes with it and attacked Joy in the hospital's parking lot. Pack's wife, who answered the phone, expressed shock when she was told of the incident by a reporter. On January 11, 2001, Pack pleaded guilty to two counts of assault and a single count of unlawful

New York - Page 47 -

abortion. On April 20, 2001, Pack was sentenced to two years in prison. He could have faced up to seven years if convicted at trial, based on a state law banning abortions performed without a woman's consent. But Pack had reached a plea bargain that said he could not get more than three years for the attack on Joy Schepis. Before he was sentenced in State Supreme Court in the Bronx, Pack told Justice Ira Globerman that he never meant to hurt Joy. He said, "After 100 hours of therapy with doctors and priests, I fully understand that my judgment was wrong and that what I did was wrong. I'm very sorry." Joy said that she was pleased Pack would serve time in prison, but she did not believe his apology. She said "I don't think he's very sorry for anything except that he's going to jail." Joy gave birth to a healthy boy on November 28, 2000. The plea deal was finalized after it was clear that the child was healthy. State Supreme Court Justice Ira Globerman sentenced Pack to 3 years of supervision following his release from prison.

Instead, however, I was screamed at, shoved, pushed, and verbally harassed. I have 21 black-and-blue marks on my legs from the shoving. One large heavyset man attempted to rip my sign from my hand, wrenching my shoulder in the process. In the row in front of us while all of this was going on, there was Walter Mondale. He didn't say or do anything." Pro-life observer Angel Bennett said, "I was told to get out of the Democratic Party. ... I watched, horrified, as a gentle woman was hit in the face with signs, kicked and shoved without any security bothering to remove the perpetrators. ..." Another Minnesota pro-life delegate, Grant Colstrom, of the United Auto Workers, said: "A pro-abortion Minnesota delegate pushed and shoved me until he succeeded in getting me partially out of the spot I had been in for seven hoursin order to keep me from holding any "STOP ABORTION NOW" signs before the cameras. He threatened to punch me if I attempted to regain my prime spot. He bragged to his cohorts that they did not have to worrythat he had me 'under control.'" Another woman pro-life delegate, only a few feet away, was being continually body-pressed by a woman trying to force her out of her chair for almost one-half hour. Later, a large aggressive male delegate karate chopped at her arms several times.

Assault, Gross Misconduct, Sexual Harassment (8 incidents) and Violation of Health and Safety Standards (5 counts) Abortionist Allan Zarkin had a long history of sexually harassing his women patients at Beth Israel Medical Center in New York City. But he went too far when he carved his initials into Liana Gedz' abdomen after operating on her. When asked why he committed this atrocious act, Zarkin airily responded that "he thought he did such a beautiful job, he thought he should sign it."

New York - Page 49 -

Zarkin (now nicknamed "Zorro" in the medical community) was hired on as medical director of the Choices Women's Medical Center, a Queens abortion mill, on November 1, 1999, shortly after being fired from Beth Israel on September 17. He had been committing abortions at this chamber since 1983. When the director of the abortion mill learned of the Beth Israel incident, she dismissed him the same day. Liana sued the Beth Israel Medical Center and Zarkin for $5.5 million, charging that the incident left her physically and emotionally scarred. Zarkin's lawyer, Kenneth J. Platzer, said that "Our legal response to the lawsuit was that what was done was not a willful or intentional act," leading pro-lifers to wonder what on earth would constitute a "willful or intentional act." Zarkin eventually settled for $1.75 million in exchange for Liana dropping her claim against the Beth Israel Medical Center, where Zarkin assaulted her. Liana said that what Zarkin did to her made her feel "like a branded animal."

Abortionist Alan Zarkin carved his initials into this womans Abdomen because he thought he should sign his work. The woman said that the abortionist made her feel like a branded

Zarkin has had his medical license suspended, and the Manhattan district attorney's office is also investigating him. The abortion mill did not bother to check Zarkin's credentials before hiring him, a violation of state law, and is now under investigation by the New York State Department of Health. The Department of Health is also investigating at least two allegations of sexual harassment against Zarkin. In one instance, a patient filed a complaint stating that Zarkin made increasingly lewd remarks to her over a period three years. He finally told her that he was taking Viagra three times per day and masturbating in the shower. Shortly afterwards, on February 11, 2000, the Choices Women's Medical Center was closed after authorities discovered that the abortion mill performed "hasty" abortions, lacked the required equipment and infection control, failed to properly screen and monitor employees and did not have enough nurses. The abortuary was fined $20,000 and closed until it could rectify the situation. But, in a move that would make George Orwell choke, the abortuary continued to refer its patients to other abortion mills (which were unlicensed) by taking them there in its "Happiness Bus!"

Petty Larceny (5 counts), Criminal Tampering (7 counts) and Criminal Mischief (4 counts) [Rockford] We've all heard about those "freedom loving" "pro-choicers" who will fight to the death for your right to free speech unless, of course, they do not like your message, or do not approve of the way in which it is being delivered. Then there are those people who are perfectly fine with the practice of abortion, but get volcanically angry when photos of the reality are displayed. Matthew Rubinoff is one of these people. Richard Bruno, a chimney sweep and the Rockland Right to Life Party leader, maintained a montage of pro-life photos on his storefront. Beginning on June 30, 2006, Rubinoff repeatedly tore down the posters and defaced the storefront. One time, he defaced a poster of Pope John Paul II and wrote lewd sexual comments on it. Rubinoff also taped messages calling Bruno a liar to the windows. This happened so many times that Bruno finally set up a video camera and caught Rubinoff in the act. In July, police arrested Rubinoff and charged him with five counts of petty larceny. On September 20, 2006, they added charges of seven counts of criminal tampering and four counts of criminal mischief. Bruno wanted Rubinoff charged with a hate crime as well, because he believed Rubinoff was targeting him because he was Catholic. District Attorney Michael Bongiorno declined to file this charge, saying that "Legally and ethically, you can only charge what the evidence supports. What's more likely is the defendant doesn't like the materials." References: Steve Lieberman. "Charges Added in Defacing of Piermont Anti-Abortion Storefront."

Making Terroristic Threats (7 incidents) and Aggravated Harassment [Bergen, New Jersey] Pro-abortionist Alice Hand was found guilty of aggravated harassment and sentenced to probation after communicating several death threats to pro-lifer Janet Greenhut. The case centered on two midnight telephone calls Janet received in January 1995, when, as a volunteer for Birthright of Maywood, she provided helpful pregnancy counseling and drove young pregnant women to prenatal appointments. Hand left this message: "Janet, get your pro-lifers away from our clinics or we will kill you," according to police transcripts. Hand called back later and said "You will be killed." Hand, who volunteered at a Suffern, New York abortion mill, also threatened the life of another Birthright worker in Nanuet, New York, as well as a priest in Suffern, according to police records. Hand pleaded guilty to harassment and making terroristic threats and was sentenced to probation. Janet wasn't satisfied with the conviction. She pressed the civil case in federal court because she wanted to prove a point: She wanted the same protection that pro-abortionists have received under the law. Judge Barry awarded Janet $5,000 for each of the two phone calls. Hand also made at least three phone calls threatening to blow up a Catholic church and school in Suffern, New York. With the usual pro-abortionist's utter lack of any sense of irony, Hand said she believed the Catholic

Death Threat and Disorderly Conduct (11 incidents) From a USA Today article; Defying a death threat and hundreds of angry protesters, New York's Cardinal John O'Connor became one of the highest-ranking Church officials to take part in a U.S. anti-abortion street protest. O'Connor was joined by 2,500 abortion foes, who assembled first for a Mass at a church 13 blocks from Manhattan's largest abortion clinic. He warned the congregation that 'violence begets violence' and instructed them not to engage in conversation or exchange insults with the pro-abortion demonstrators, who heckled the pro-life marchers and booed and jeered when they saw the Cardinal. At least 11 of the pro-abortion demonstrators were arrested for disorderly conduct.

Death Threats (4 incidents) Actor Alec Baldwin, a rabid pro-abortionist and a prominent Bill Clinton defender, flew into a childish rage on the December 16, 1998 "Conan O'Brien Show" and screamed I am thinking to myself in other countries they are laughing at us 24 hours a day, and I'm thinking to myself if we were in other countries, we would all right now, all of us together [starts to shout] all of us together would go down to Washington and we would stone Henry Hyde to death. We would stone him to death! [crowd cheers] Wait! Shut up! No, shut up! I'm not finished! We would stone Henry Hyde to death and we would go to their [Republican leader's] homes and we'd kill their wives and their children! We would kill their families! [stands up, screaming] What is happening in this country? What is happening? The liberal media fell all over itself trying to excuse this violent hissy-fit. Mary McGrory said that Baldwin was just "joking," and criticized conservatives for overreacting. However, when Mark Crutcher's abortionist joke book "Bottom Feeder" came out, the liberals cried long and loud over his "violent" jokes. References: Quoted in Michael Kelly.

Death Threat Pro-life activist Stephen Wood received a death threat from a pro-abortion caller, who said "We will blow you assholes up." Reference: "Congress Hears Truth on Pro-Abort Violence." Life Advocate, July 1993, page 15. Bomb Threat On March 14, 1999, homosexuals planted a fake bomb at St. Patrick's Cathedral that disrupted Mass and brought dozens of police, including a bomb squad, to the church. Hundreds of worshippers were evacuated from the cathedral after a parishioner found a suspicious package. A bomb squad was sent in to retrieve the plastic bags containing a series of digital devices that, when triggered, flashed the word "homophobic." References: "Bomb Hoax at New York Cathedral."

Drug Dealing In 1988, Abortionist David Gluch's New York license was revoked for three years after "he conspired with other individuals over a five-month period to engage in the criminal sale of a controlled substance. Respondent was sentenced to five years probation. Gambling therapy was one of the terms of probation." The controlled substance in question was "approximately 48,000 four milligram tablets of Dilaudid."

Vandalism (5 incidents) Hypocritical pro-choicers constantly tell anyone who will listen that pro-lifers only care about the fetus and not the woman. However, when pro-lifers attempt to reach out to women to show that they care, the pro-choicers attack these efforts as well. In March 2010, the pro-life group Abortion Changes You launched an extensive advertising campaign in the New York City subway system, putting up about 2,000 posters offering help to women suffering psychological complications after abortion. Pro-choicers immediately attacked the ads in the blogosphere, calling the heinous and encouraging others to destroy or deface them, because it is their dogma that no woman suffers even the slightest ill effects from abortion. Anyone who deviates from this inflexible rule is immediately attacked. Several of the posters were, indeed, defaced by free-speech loving pro-choicers.

New York - Page 54 -

Pro-choice people constantly allege that pro-lifers only care about the fetus, not the woman. But the pro-choicers vigorously attack any attempt pro-lifers make to reach out to women, either on the sidewalks outside abortion mills or after the women have had abortions. These are two examples of how pro-choicers vandalized the Abortion Changes You poster project on the New York subway system in 2010. One blogger called the vandal a pro-choice hero. We wonder what she would think if a pro-lifer vandalized pro-choice posters. Of course, that would be terrorism. One young woman saw one of the posters and said that I was on a train today here in New York City, and as I sat listening to my iPod, I looked up and saw this advertisement. The ad had a guy on it and over his head was written, I wonder if there was more I could have done for her? Below was written, Abortion Changes You. As I read these three words I began to cry. At the time I felt it was my only choice. Even now, I feel I couldn't have given him the amazing life he deserved. But, the thought that he just deserved a life period haunts me everyday. A part of me died in that sterile room the day he was terminated. This part of me will always ache for him, and wish he were here. But, I want to stop hating myself for what I did. How do I do that? Do I even deserve to? References: Peter J. Smith. Massive Abortion Changes You Campaign Greets New York Subway Riders." LifeSite News, March 11, 2010; Defacing Pro-Life Posters A-OK with Pro-Aborts.

Threats of Violence (2 incidents) [Long Island] Pro-abortion activist Bill Baird told the Washington Times that "I promise you it's going to happen. The pro-choice people are going to give them a dose of their own medicine. Do they think we can't firebomb them or smash their altars? That is coming." He also said in an earlier interview that "I resent strongly the charges that I am a murderer, a killer, a devil. I resent the right [of demonstrators] to sit-in at my clinic. If they ever do that to my clinic again, it's to the death. Only one of us is coming out of there."

ALL About Issues, June-July 1989, page 11. Gross Incompetence (65 counts), Gross Negligence (65 counts), Practicing Medicine Without a License (30 counts), Malpractice (5 counts), Practicing Medicine Fraudulently (90 counts), Insurance Fraud, Document Forgery (3 counts), Violation of Health and Safety Standards (22 counts) and Unprofessional Conduct (139 counts) In 1986, the New York State Medical Board, Commissioner of Health, Regents Review Committee, and Board of Regents all found abortionist Judith Comeau-Samuel guilty of 65 counts of "practicing the profession with gross negligence," 29 counts of "permitting, aiding, or abetting an unlicensed person to perform activities requiring a license," 90 counts of "practicing the profession fraudulently," 65 counts of "practicing the profession with gross incompetence," and 139 counts of "unprofessional conduct." These hundreds of charges related to; performing abortions on non-pregnant women; failure to take medical histories or perform examinations; administering general anesthesia without ascertaining if patients had eaten; administering general anesthesia without proper resuscitative equipment; failing to monitor vital signs during general anesthesia; failure to provide post-anesthesia evaluations; failure to give adequate aftercare instructions; failure to obtain informed consent; failure to supervise recovery; failure to test for Rh factor, hence jeopardizing the health and lives of the future babies of Rh-negative patients; allowing her husband Maxen Samuel to practice medicine without a license; falsely advertising that medical services would be performed by a board-certified specialist, when they were in fact performed by Comeau-Samuel, who was non-certified, and non-licensed Maxen Samuel; and pregnancy tests performed by untrained individuals if they were performed at all.

An estimated 25% of abortions at Comeau-Samuel's abortion mills were done on non-pregnant women. She was fined $19,500 and her medical license was revoked. At least Comeau-Samuel had an original excuse. She appealed to have her license renewed, saying that she was dominated by her husband and had been manipulated to commit all of her crimes through his practice of voodoo.

Her husband, Maxen Samuel, was jailed for performing abortions on non-pregnant women and for practicing medicine without a license, using other doctors' names and prescription pads, and insurance fraud. A Federal judge ordered Samuel and his wife to surrender their passports to prevent flight to their native Haiti. Samuel's attorney said he admitted to operating without a license, but that it was necessary for him to do so because he needed the money and had been unable to hire licensed physicians. He was practicing again in 1993 although his license had been revoked in 1986.

Gross Negligence (5 incidents), Negligence (40 counts), Criminal Abortion (4 incidents), Malpractice, Income Tax Evasion (4 incidents) and Falsification of Documents (5 incidents) [Newark, New Jersey] On June 14, 1984, 14-year-old Germaine Newman, who was 22 weeks pregnant, went to abortionist E. Wyman Garrett for a second-trimester abortion in Newark, New Jersey. After the abortion, Germaine began vomiting and complained of abdominal pain and a high fever. The next morning, Germaine's mother found her lying dead on the bathroom floor. Garrett, in an effort to save himself, altered her medical records. For this series of offenses, he pleaded no contest to violating various state laws. An autopsy found that Germaine's abdomen was full of pus and adhesions. The cause of death was abdominal infection and perforation of the uterus. In 1986, Garrett pled "no contest" to an array of charges in State court. These specifications included; performing a very late-term abortion so negligently that the baby survived it, living for three months before dying; leaving a baby's head inside a woman's uterus after an abortion; leaving a dead preborn child in another woman's abdominal cavity; falsifying medical records to indicate no complications when a woman had suffered uterine ruptures and massive blood loss; and falsifying other medical records to cover up several other cases of severe abortion complications.

Judge Sybil Moses, who conducted an administrative hearing on Garrett, noted that he had made hundreds of thousands of dollars on abortion without paying income taxes and was a chronic liar and falsifier of medical records. She said that he had an extremely "cavalier attitude toward patient safety," and asked for the revocation of his medical license. She also fined him $170,000. During his testimony, Garrett called his abortion patients "pachyderms" (i.e., female elephants) and "actresses" when they displayed symptoms of acute complications caused by his abortion procedures. Garrett lost his license to practice medicine in the State of New Jersey in April 1987. However, he continued to perform abortions even after the New Jersey State Medical Board ordered him to stop doing them. He continued to perform abortions in his office, tried to get a date with one woman he aborted, and offered to perform an abortion in his office on an undercover police officer. Garrett's privileges were suspended at University Hospital in 1988 when he killed an unidentified 30-year-old woman there.

Gross Negligence (18 incidents), Medicaid Fraud (3 incidents), Grand Larceny, Conduct Evidencing Moral Unfitness, Falsification of Documents (3 incidents) and Improper Disposal of Medical Wastes [Nanuet] Abortionist Mark Binder, who performed abortions at fellow abortionist Stephen Chase Brigham's abortion mills in Colonie and Nanuet, N.Y., was charged by the New York State Board of Professional Medical Conduct with 18 counts of gross negligence, gross incompetence, conduct evidencing moral unfitness, and fraud. He instructed an ultrasound technician to falsify readings on gestational age so that preborn babies over 24 weeks would appear to be under New York's legal age limit. He tried to escape prosecution overseas, and was sentenced for Medicaid fraud in October 1999. He pleaded guilty August 9, 1999 to two counts of grand larceny and one count of false filing following a nine-month investigation by the state attorney general's office. He admitted to double-billing the State for Medicaid services and demanding cash for procedures already covered under Medicaid. For example, some women paid $160 for sonograms and $95 for follow-up exams, both of which were already paid for. Binder had worked at the American Women's Services Clinic abortion mill in the Albany suburb of Colonie, along with abortionist Stephen Chase Brigham. The two abortionists opened the abortion facility in April 1994. Colonie police shut it down in May 1996 when Binder refused to turn over financial records. Binder served several weeks in jail then. The state Department of Health revoked Binder's license in March of 1997. Four months later, police seized 17 frozen unborn children from the facility. Binder fled the country and spent the next three years eluding authorities in 10 countries. He was apprehended by Interpol in Hong Kong in April 1999. References: "Men Behaving Really Badly."

Gross Negligence (22 counts), Negligence (22 counts), Incompetence (12 counts), Failure to Maintain Adequate Records (22 counts) and Ordering Treatment or Use of Treatment Facilities not Warranted by the Condition of the Patient Abortionist Justin Charles Terra had his medical license revoked when it was proven that he routinely aborted women who were not pregnant. Of 24 women he aborted in 1987, only 2 had been confirmed pregnant, and the remaining 22 were inconclusive or confirmed not pregnant. Medical charts "showed a pattern of incomplete record keeping, apparently deliberate misdiagnoses of pregnancy to justify abortion, and negligent medical procedures during the operations." The New York State Board for Professional Medical Conduct examined the records of a sample of 24 of Terra's abortion patients during the time period August to November of 1987, and found that he did not adequately document patient histories; did not do an adequate physical examination; did not actually diagnose pregnancies; did not evaluate and note any pre-existing medical conditions; did not note the patient's vital signs while they were under general anesthesia; and, in six cases where the patients were at risk for ectopic pregnancy, did not adequately treat them or

New York - Page 58 -

follow up on them. In other words, Terra just wanted to abort his patients as quickly and efficiently as possible without the slightest regard for their health. The Medical Conduct Board also found that Terra performed abortions on at least three patients who were not pregnant. In its Specification of Charges, the Medical Conduct Board found Terra guilty of 22 charges of gross negligence; 22 charges of negligence; 12 charges of incompetence; 1 count of ordering treatment or use of treatment facilities not warranted by the condition of the patient; and 22 charges of failure to maintain adequate records.

Terra's appeal to regain his medical license was denied. He also butchered at least a dozen other women in botched abortions. Like all "pro-choicers," he was too cowardly to face the consequences of his actions or make up for the damage he had done, so he fled to Austria to avoid prosecution.

Malpractice (11 incidents) Abortionist Herbert Schwarz, who admits to committing more than 45,000 abortions during his career, botched a third-trimester abortion on a woman who hemorrhaged and underwent surgery to deliver a stillborn seven-month-old preborn child, and as a result his license was suspended by state officials. New York State Health Commissioner Barbara Debuono, after an investigation, said that Dr. Schwarz's practice "represented a threat to the public health." Schwarz is also accused of botching ten other abortions not related to this case. Like so many other abortionists, Schwarz whined that he was the victim of a "witch hunt." Comically, Schwarz said he is in a fight for his reputation and his livelihood and claims that the state's attacks on experienced abortionists like himself hurt women who seek abortions. He said that he is a victim of the case of Queens abortionist David Benjamin, who was convicted of murder in August of 1995 for allowing an abortion patient to bleed to death on the operating table. He also said that his wife fears for the safety of his family. In an interview, Schwarz said Do you really think that I did anything but what I was equipped by my experience to know was the very best for her? The best I knew how? Do you think I did anything but the best? ... I'm a pawn sacrificed because all of America is convulsing over this problem. It's tearing America apart. And someone gains notoriety and makes points if he puts the anti-Christ out of business. ... There's one thing I'm guilty of, bringing every woman I did

New York - Page 59 -

an abortion procedure on, if she's a sister, back to her siblings, and if she's a mother, back to her children. I did not lose one patient in my life. ... Why don't you think they [pro-aborts] are coming to my aid. Nobody wants to get dirty. I'm a bad player. Attorney Max Ander won $60,000 from Schwarz for a client who suffered complications in 1987, and commented on "His complete indifference, his callousness. I wish I had a Roget's thesaurus. Anything I tell is simply bland compared to what he is." Reference: "Doctor Says Mistakes Do Not a Career Make." New York Times, September 5, 1995. Gross Negligence (2 incidents), Negligence (5 incidents), Malpractice (2 incidents), Incompetence and Improper Recordkeeping Abortionist Andre Nehorayoff's medical license was suspended in 1991 for negligence and incompetence when he worked at the Manhattan Women's Health Center. One 18-year-old woman died of what a medical examiner described as "hemorrhage due to incomplete abortion" in 1989, and another had died at his hands about ten years earlier. The court record also stated that a 36-year-old woman had an emergency hysterectomy after he lacerated her uterus, and he also delivered a portion of an 18-year-old woman's bowel through her cervix. In 1992, the Board of Regents revoked his medical license for the negligent treatment of five patients from 1983 to 1990 and poor record keeping, court records stated. In March 2000, the New York State Appellate Division reversed a lower Supreme Court ruling and required the Board of Regents to reconsider restoring the license of Nehorayoff, who practiced in Manhattan. Assistant Attorney General Patrick Barnett-Mulligan argued that the 1963 graduate of Tehran Medical School in Iran cried all day and couldn't sleep for three nights when he lost his license, but had little remorse for his patients. In 1993, the abortionist tried to get his license back. Two years later, he appeared before the Peer Review Committee, which concluded Nehorayoff had "sufficiently fulfilled the standards of remorse, rehabilitation and re-education" to practice again with three years' probation. Another professional review by the Committee on Professions also recommended he return to the practice of medicine, but with 10 years' probation. In 1997, the New York State Board of Regents refused to return the abortionist's medical license because of the seriousness of his offenses and his "lack of an appropriate degree of concern." The board also noted the concerns of a consultant. Nehorayoff took the Regents to court, but the Supreme Court sided with the Regents. The Appellate Division court, however, ruled the lower court failed to make a balanced review of evidence. The appellate justices said that the abortionist was contrite, accepted punishment and attended classes to improve his skills and knowledge. In a dissenting opinion, Appellate Division Justice Thomas Mercure said his colleagues shouldn't have overruled the lower court because the Regents decided restoring the license would pose a risk to the public.

medical license. Reference: The Tennessean, June 9, 1988. Criminal Abortion (7 incidents), Malpractice (3 incidents) and Illegal Prescription of Narcotics (3 incidents) Abortionist Maurice Sasson is a good example of how the medical profession will protect abortionists above any other kind of doctor. He had his medical license revoked in 1963 for committing illegal abortions. He license was restored in 1979 to "help fill the great need in the medical profession for someone with his special abilities." His license was suspended again in 1981 for wrongfully injecting drugs, but the suspension stayed to allow him to continue his practice. In 1986 it was revoked for illegally prescribing narcotics. Reference: New York Newsday, June 24, 1991. Gross Negligence, Assault (4 incidents), Criminal Abortion, Malpractice (4 incidents), Violation of Health and Safety Standards (6 counts), Falsification of Medical Records and Inadequate Record Keeping Abortionist Abu Hayat, a member of the National Abortion Federation (NAF), was arrested and charged after he botched an illegal third-trimester abortion on October 25, 1991. Rosa Rodriguez believed herself to be less than 17 weeks pregnant. She found Hayat through a newspaper ad, and he charged her $1,500 for the procedure. She paid $1,000 in cash and used her passport, green card, and jewelry as collateral for the remaining $500. She heard women screaming at the abortion mill and asked Hayat "Why was someone screaming if there is supposed to be no pain? The doctor said that not everyone wanted anesthesia and not everyone could pay for anesthesia." The day after the abortion, a family friend called an ambulance which took Rosa to a hospital, where Ana Rosa was born at approximately 32 weeks gestation, missing her right arm, which Hayat had severed during his botched abortion attempt.

New York - Page 61 -

Little Ana Rosa Rodriguez will have to spend the Rest of her life without her right arm because of abortionist Abu Hayats negligence and incompetence. But at least she is still alive. In this case, the New York Medical Board found lack of informed consent, failure to perform a complete examination, inadequate facility and staff, medical records "not credible and are incomplete," irregular financial arrangements, and the performance of an illegal abortion. In another incident, Hayat aborted Marie Moise ("Patient B") on March 17, 1991. Hayat stopped during the procedure and told her husband that the pregnancy was further advanced than he'd thought. He demanded an additional $500. The husband did not have the money, and "pleaded with the Respondent to finish the procedure and said that he would bring the additional $500 the following afternoon." In response, Hayat ejected Marie from his office, "bleeding heavily and still under sedation." The next day, Marie's husband took her to a hospital, where the emergency room physicians noted a "distended abdomen, was febrile to 103 ... tachycardic, and had a foul-smelling dark bloody discharge with little pieces of fetal tissue and laminaria protruding from her cervix." Marie's attorney sent Hayat a letter, and Hayat responded that he had never treated Marie. Hayat was convicted of four counts of assault and falsification of medical records. Hayat also killed 17-year old Sophie McCoy ("Patient C") during a botched abortion on September 18, 1990. News report stated that police posing as patients investigated his practice and found his examination rooms filthy and unkempt. He advertised $79 abortions and "same day service." Hayat was investigated after a maimed late-term aborted baby, a girl missing a leg, was found in a garbage can three blocks from his office. News reports state that over 30 women alleged abortions botched by Hayat after charges were filed in the Rodriguez case. He was ultimately sentenced to 9 to 29 years in prison. Amazingly, Ana Rosa's mother, Rosa Rodriguez, was featured on the "Phil Donohue Show" of January 16, 1992. To show how hard-hearted some people can become, Rodriguez, while holding her baby who had been mutilated by abortion, said that "After this experience, I don't feel I could go through with an abortion again. But it should be available to others. It's the woman's choice." References: The New York Times, January 22, 1991 and February 23, 1993; New York Post, November 20,

Arson, Fraud (12 counts), Malpractice and Violation of Health and Safety Standards (6 counts) [Woodbridge, New Jersey] Alan L. Weisenberg, who owns a chain of East Coast abortion mills, pleaded guilty on October 28, 1998 of bilking five insurance companies and health maintenance organizations, as well as grossly overcharging Medicaid. He also admitted in court to filing false plans to bring his abortion mills into conformity with state Department of Health codes, that he operated the mills without a medical director, and that he reused disposable equipment, which is a violation of Federal law. U.S. Attorney Faith S. Hochberg called the case "a blatant, irresponsible disregard of basic medical and sanitary procedures." Weisenberg's company, Management Corporation of America, also pleaded guilty to defrauding insurance companies and health maintenance organizations. Weisenberg's New Brunswick abortion mill burned to the ground on April 22, 1991, and pro-abortionists blamed pro-lifers, but Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE) investigations pointed to Weisenberg. He was never charged with the arson since the statue of limitations had expired. As local writer Rick Malwitz observed in a November 8, 1998 newspaper column: "There was never any evidence that linked the fire to anyone in the pro-life movement, according to persons involved in the investigation." Despite this, pro-abortionists featured the Woodbridge clinic on a map of the United States depicting "anti-abortion violence" clinic bombings, arsons, and shootings which was printed in most mass-circulation magazines and newspapers. Despite the total lack of evidence, local pro-aborts immediately blamed pro-lifers for the arson. The head of New Jersey Right to Choose stated that it was the work of "religious zealots." "This is like Hitler," said an outraged clinic employee. And New Jersey's then-Governor Jim Florio announced that "None of us can be silent in the face of such purposeful violence."

Severe Vandalism, Desecration of Religious Services, Hate Crimes (7 incidents), Trespassing (11 incidents), Death Threat, Disorderly Conduct (90 incidents) and Resisting Arrest (21 incidents) On December 10, 1989, a mob of over 2,500 screaming homosexuals and pro-abortionists from the AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power (ACT-UP) and the Women's Health Action and Mobilization (WHAM) raided a Mass presided over by Cardinal O'Connor, heckled and mocked him, and stamped on the consecrated Host. While most of the anti-Catholics remained outside and screamed obscenities, about 50 of them entered the Cathedral and disrupted the 10:15 AM Mass. They shouted slogans and chained themselves to the pews.

New York - Page 63 -

Seven of them mingled with the congregation and pretended to stand in line to receive Communion, and then threw the consecrated Host on the floor and trampled on it. One protester, while stamping on the Host, screamed "That's what I think of your God." Protestors outside carried obscene and threatening signs such as "Eternal life to Cardinal O'Connor NOW!" Bearded homosexuals wore nun's habits and others wore condoms suspended from Rosaries. One person made angel's wings out of inflated condoms. Police eventually charged 111 people with disorderly conduct, trespassing, and resisting arrest. A joint statement by religious leaders said that "We are appalled at this singularly unacceptable extension of civil disobedience. All believing persons are entitled to undisturbed worship as a basic exercise of freedom of religion. We cannot condone and must condemn this interruption of a service of worship, this denial of religious freedom." A statement by Jewish leaders, to include the American Jewish Congress, the American Jewish Committee, the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith, the Jewish Community Relations Council of New York, the New York Board of Rabbis, and the Synagogue Council of America also condemned the invasion of St. Patrick's Cathedral as an "intolerable intrusion. ... The right to freedom of expression does not go so far as to permit the interference with the expression of others or the conduct of worship services." As expected, the homosexuals refused to apologize for their despicable actions and instead vigorously defended them in their pornographic magazines. These homosexual hate crimes began when Cardinal O'Connor banned Dignity, an unrepentant 'Catholic' homosexual organization, from using church facilities for their meetings. In January 1988, ACT-UP also disrupted a lecture by then-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. References: Robert Hutchinson.

The Wanderer, December 31, 1992, page 4. Medicaid Fraud (48 counts) Abortionist W.B. Cleveland and the Woman's General Hospital abortion mill were required to pay back $1.3 million in Medicaid funds for abortions performed without the required evidence that the procedures were necessary to save the mothers' lives. A review of 48 patients who had 2 or more abortions each had "depression" listed as the life-threatening justification for the abortions, but there was no evidence of psychiatric evaluation or referral in any of the cases. This case shows how the abortionists use the "health of the mother" exception to justify abortions for all reasons, no matter how trivial. Reference: American Medical News, October 10, 1986. Public Lewdness (2 incidents), Acting in Concert with Public Lewdness and Desecration of a Religious Service The Boston Beer Company sponsored the third annual "Sex for Sam" contest, which rewarded couples for fornicating in various public places. These couples would have a broadcaster along, who would narrate their activities. The prizes in the contest were very specific, intending to reward the derring-do of fornicating at progressively more august sites. Fornicating at Rockefeller Center was worth 30 points, and fornicating with a policeman or a fireman, microphone standing by, deserved a bonus 100 points. Fornicating in a

church was worth 25 points. The on-air presentation was sponsored by Samuel Adams Beer. Various accounts suggest that Boston Beer co-founder Jim Koch enthusiastically encouraged this 'contest.' He was present in the studio as deejays Opie and Anthony broadcast an account of a Virginia couple fornicating inside St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York City. This desecration happened on the Feast of the Assumption, when the Cathedral was crowded with worshipers. The studio "comedian," Paul Mercurio, stood a few feet away, providing running on-air commentary of the act. Someone alerted police, who arrested the exhibitionists, charged them with public lewdness, and released them on $500 bail each. Mercurio was charged with acting in concert with public lewdness. WNEW-FM, which broadcasts the Opie and Anthony show, is a part of the Infinity Radio, an arm of Viacom. Reference: "Brewmeister's Apology Falls Flat; ALL Toasts Sam Adams Boycott."

Vandalism and Threats of Harm (4 incidents) [Staten Island] The Church of the Holy Child in Staten Island, New York has a pro-life sign on its property that reads "Abortion Stops a Beating Heart." On July 21, 1994, pro-abortionists vandalized the sign and taped an anti-Catholic poster to it. The poster accused the Catholic Church of holding "vast economic and political resources used by its undemocratically chosen hierarchy" to enforce its "archaic" views about "abortion, women's rights, homosexuality and conception." It went on to say that "free speech in America is not free" and that "We have chosen to use this sign to say: "STOP IMPOSING YOUR RELIGIOUS BELIEFS ON THOSE WHO DO NOT SHARE THEM" and "STOP ABUSING AND RESTRICTING WOMEN IN THE NAME OF GOD." The pastor, Monsignor John D. Burke, had received several threatening anonymous telephone calls ordering him to take down the sign of face physical harm.

Fraud Abortionists are not the only people in the pro-choice movement who care only about piling up as much money as possible. The same can be said of the air-conditioned warriors who populate the upper levels of the big national pro-abortion groups. While they bloviate about how much they care about women, they prove over and over again by their actions that all they really care about is the almighty dollar. Kelli Conlin had been the president of the New York Chapter of NARAL Pro-Choice America for over twenty years. In January 2011, she was fired from her job after a forensics audit uncovered years of fraud and financial mismanagement. The accounting firm Marks Paneth & Shron found numerous questionable charges on NARAL credit cards that Conlin had used. They included $5,709 in high-end clothing purchased at Giorgio Armani and Barneys and $17,000 for a reimbursement for a Hamptons summer rental Conlin used in 2009. Conlin also spent an amazing $100,000 on limousine service between March 2008 and December 2010 to have her children chauffeured back and from an exclusive private school in New York City. Conlin also spent over $22,000 on meals at posh restaurants, sometimes just with friends who had no association with her pro-abortion work.. And then there are the bonuses. Conlin also awarded huge bonuses to her staff and herself. Conlin

makes over $300,000 per year, and awarded herself a $90,000 bonus in 2009 (the bonus itself, by the way, is larger than the salary of any pro-life worker in the world, according to an examination of IRS Forms 990). There is also a very tidy little political arrangement here; NARAL contributed significant financial support to the 2010 election campaign of Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, whose father, Irwin, has been a member of the New York NARAL Board of directors for more than a decade, and has contributed $75,000 to the group over the past several years. So we have to wonder how vigorously Conlin will be prosecuted, if she is prosecuted at all. To show how detached pro-abortionists are from reality, Anne C. Vladeck, Conlins lawyer, said that Ms. Conlin has always acted in the best interest of the organization. Kristan Hawkins, Executive Director of Students for Life, said that The recent mess that NARAL of New York has found itself in proves once again that the abortion industry and their affiliates are deceiving young women. The recent audit which found massive misappropriation of funds shows just how corrupt pro-abortion groups are. They are not in it to help women, but rather for their own selfish profit. The abortion business is not in it to help women, but for the profit the abortion business brings. Steven Ertelt. Criminal Probe Launched Into Fraud at Pro-Abortion Group.

Second-Degree Murder (2 counts), Arson and Tampering with Physical Evidence (2 incidents) Jerold L. Ponder and Zaneta Browne were carrying on an affair, and Zaneta was 14 to 15 weeks pregnant with boy and girl twins by Ponder. Ponder urged Zaneta to get an abortion, but she refused. So, on July 14, 2002, Ponder and his wife Keya shot Zaneta, a 29-year-old Rochester mother of three, in the face and back of the head on land owned by Jerold Ponder's family in rural Orleans County. Jerold Ponder claimed that his rifle fired twice accidentally while he and Zaneta were target shooting. Keya Ponder bought the rifle used in the slaying and helped her husband bury Zaneta's body in a shallow grave in Chili, then dispose of her car by setting it on fire in Avon, Livingston County. Both Jerold and Keya Ponder were found guilty of intentional second-degree murder and tampering with physical evidence. Monroe County Court Judge Elma A. Bellini sentenced them both to 26-1/3 years to life. The judge also said she was thinking of the twins Zaneta was carrying when she was slain. "She (Keya Ponder) is sorry, but sorry doesn't bring back Ms. Browne or those two unborn children," she said. Criminal charges couldn't be filed on behalf of the twins because they weren't born alive, as required by New York law. But Feminists for Life of New York supported legislation that would allow homicide or assault charges to be brought against anyone who kills or harms a fetus. As he asked for the maximum sentence, Second Assistant District Attorney Kenneth C. Hyland said the roles played by Jerold and Keya Ponder were inextricably intertwined. Both acted because Zaneta refused to have an abortion, he said. References: Michael Zeigler. "Second Guilty Verdict Reached in Murder Case."

Harassment, Bible Burning and Hate Crime When Pat Buchanan was invited to speak at Syracuse University in the Fall of 1997, leftist students continually disrupted his speech by yelling obscenities. At the beginning of the question and answer session, fourteen members of the Lesbian Avengers, a radical campus group, stood and began kissing each other in the pews of Hendricks Chapel to show their disapproval of Buchanan's stance on homosexuality. The demonstrations continued after the speech, culminating with students burning a Bible in front of the chapel. References: Melissa Moskal.

Assault (8 incidents) and Death Threats (3 incidents) [Auburn] "Pro-choicers" are cowardly and will pick on the most defenseless person they can find. During the period 1988 to 1993, 88-year old Elizabeth Zubon was victimized numerous times by pro-abortionists. She said that "I have had rocks thrown at my car, pencils, spit, and plastic quart containers thrown at me. Cars will try to force my car off the road. On several-lane highways or streets the guys and gals will scream at me and try to cause me to have an accident by startling me in this manner (as they drive along side of my car). They scream also, 'you're going to get shot!'" Reference: Elizabeth Zubon, letter to Lynn Murphy, October 5, 1994.

Stalking, Attempted Extortion, Professional Misconduct, Making False Official Statements (2 incidents) (and misogyny) In July 1995, abortionist Daniel Holschauer performed an abortion on a woman at South Orange Gynecology in Monroe, New York. A week later, he showed up at her job and requested sex with her, and she complied. Then he began to stalk her, calling her repeatedly and appearing at her job site several times, demanding more sex. After taking a job with the Middletown Community Health Center clinic in Monroe, New York, Holschauer continued to pursue the woman. When she returned to the abortion mill in September 1995, three months after the abortion, he saw her, put his arm around her and said, "I need a haircut, but that's not all I need." On March 1, 1996, he asked another woman patient for sex after doing a biopsy on her for cervical cancer at Horton Medical Center in Middletown. According to the Health Department's statement of charges, Holschauer removed the gauze after the biopsy. Then he told her, "I just did you a favor, now you could do me a favor," and he began to pull down his pants. When the patient refused, he asked her to perform a sexual act, according to the Health Department. After that incident, he attempted extortion with officials at Middletown Community Health Center by threatening to make trouble for them with state officials. He'd drop the threat, he told officials, "in return for certain actions on the part of the administrator of the health center." It is unclear what he sought perhaps silence about his conduct or perhaps continued employment. He got neither. Years earlier, in July 1991, he had sex with a post-abortive woman after giving her a pill, which he "told her would help her relax ... then took her back to her apartment where he had unprotected sexual intercourse with her," the Health Department says. The abortionist also lied to officials at both Arden Hill Hospital in Goshen and Horton Medical Center in Middletown when he applied for privileges at both hospitals, claiming he'd never had a problem with drug or alcohol abuse. In fact, he'd been in drug rehab for cocaine addiction, which had cost him a job in 1988, and which was an ongoing problem. He was granted privileges at Arden Hill in 1993 and at Horton in 1995. After first lying about the drug abuse, he then blamed it on his despair over the death of his father and his mother's Alzheimer's disease. He claimed to have conquered the problem on his own another lie. After an exhaustive, four-year investigation, the New York Department of Health's Office of Professional Medical Conduct suspended his medical license for a year, as of April 16, 2001. But the abortionist resumed practicing medicine in New York after serving only two months of his one-year suspension. The remaining 10 months were stayed, provided that he adhere to the following conditions: (1) he can treat female patients only with a chaperone present; (2) he must undergo routine drug testing, and; (3) he must undergo psychotherapy for as long as the therapist deems necessary. He will be on probation for five years. References: Beth Quinn. "Warwick Gynecologist Admits Stalking Patients for Sex."

On October 22, 1993, Mrs. Vicki A. Kraeger, who was participating in a legal pro-life picket, was holding her six-month old baby. Police pushed her onto the hood of a car. After she handed the baby to a pro-lifer, police handcuffed her and dragged her several feet along a sidewalk and stuffed her into the back seat of a patrol car. In this process, the police broke her arm. Reference: Marc Heller. "New Flap Hits Office of Doctor." Watertown Daily News, October 22, 1993.
