South Africa

South Africa has by far the highest violent crime rate in the world. It suffers 19,000 murders per year, a rate ten times greater than the United States (despite having strict gun control laws)! In addition, it has the second-worst abortion law in the world, only behind Communist China. But even the South Africans, though thoroughly desensitized to brutality, were shocked by the horrific crimes of pro-abortion mass murderer Paul Meyer. On June 2, 2004, Meyer, who was already married to another woman, shot his pregnant fiance, Cindy Jeffrey, in the head to cap his murder spree. Earlier in the day, he had murdered Cindy's mother, Athena van Rooyen, and her sister, along with five other people. Finally, two days later, as police were closing in on him, Meyer shot himself while he was sitting in his car in a Kroonstad park.1 Feminists are always telling us that abortion is a great victory for women. In reality, the legalization of abortion is always a great victory for violent and unscrupulous pro-choice men, who can then have sex with as many women as they want, and use abortion as a handy eraser to get rid of their problems. If their wives or girlfriends refuse to abort, these spoiled, entitlement-addicted men then threaten and even murder them. In the United States, hundreds of women have been murdered because they refused abortion. In every nation of the world, women die because of abortion. An unnamed pro-choice man in the town of Gugulethu, South Africa, had a problem on his hands a pregnant girlfriend, Patronella Makona. Patronellas son Zolani told police that "there was an argument between Pat and him about her pregnancy. He demanded she to go to a clinic to have an abortion. But she refused and told him this was impossible for her. She said that if he wanted her baby dead, he should kill her first." So, on May 31, 2006, the man complied with her request. He shot and killed Patronella, and then killed Charmaine Mkona, her sister, and then turned his murderous rage on Charmaines two-year-old daughter Latoya. , murdering her as well. He was charged with three counts of first-degree murder.2
