Man Arrested after Threatening to Shoot Pro-lifers at Late-Term Abortion Centre

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., Sept. 1, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) - A man was arrested Saturday, August 28, outside a late-term abortion facility in Albuquerque, New Mexico, after he allegedly threatened to shoot two pro-life women who were offering help to abortion-bound women.

According to Operation Rescue (OR), the unidentified man and his wife were escorting their daughter into the abortion clinic when the wife and daughter walked over to the pro-life women to discuss alternatives to abortion. The man became angry and ushered his family members toward the building.
 
"When we come out, I'm going to put a bullet in your head if you talk to her," the man reportedly told the pro-life women, whose identities are being withheld for their security.
 
Witnesses said that the man then lifted his shirt to show the women a dark object that was partially tucked into his trousers. The women say they recognized the object as a gun and called the police.
 
"The police responded appropriately and took him away in handcuffs," said former OR intern Bud Shaver, who arrived on the scene in time to witness the arrest and the clearing of the clinic by police.
 
"They cleared Boyd's clinic to search for the gun SWAT style. Everyone, including staff, had to come out with their hands up."
 
The area was cordoned off and the facility was closed to patients for nearly two hours while police conducted their investigation.
 
It is currently unknown if a gun was recovered by police or what charges were brought against the man.
 
Death threats against pro-lifers have been viewed with greater concern in the wake of the shooting death of activist Jim Pouillon of Owosso, Michigan, who was gunned down last year as he held a pro-life sign outside a local high school. The killer admitted that he murdered Pouillon because he did not agree with his public abortion protests.
 
Shaver told OR that he has been threatened a number of times since he has been in Albuquerque, but the police never responded in the way they did on Saturday.
 
"We are thankful that no one was injured and that the police took appropriate action," said OR's Troy Newman. "Violence against pro-lifers has become something that we have to guard against every day. Those who reach out to women in front of abortion clinics should not be afraid to continue to do so, but should always have security and an awareness of their surroundings in mind."

Freedom of speech?

This man had the following response:

"When we come out, I'm going to put a bullet in your head if you talk to her," the man reportedly told the pro-life women, whose identities are being withheld for their security.

Sounds like the parents are coercing the daughter to get an abortion. She will carry the scars with her the rest of her life.

I think the left is starting to lose it because they see the writing on the wall in November when once again commies in Congress will be in the minority.

[TheConservativeParty]

The 2 parents, escorting their daughter, in order to murder their own grandchild. How horrible.

[muawiyah]

Sounds like the daddy made her pregnant and he's anxious to get her un-pregnant so he can start the process all over again.

He's definitely a nut case.

I think the pro-abortion crowd should be forcibly disarmed!

[UnbelievingScumOnTheOtherSide]

Or child.

I’d like to see a DNA test.

[constitutiongirl]

I actually thought the same thing when I first read the article.

This was IT for them -

a radical Marxist “minority” president,
majority in the House,
fillibuster proof majority in the Senate

and they STILL don’t have their Marxist, humanist utopia.

Not alleging that this man impregnated his own daughter.

The Left is against parental notification in the case of minor abortions because “the father may be the one molesting her”.

That argument falls flat to blocking parental notification.

If the molester is not discovered and charged, he will continue his deed.

Even if it was not a father (or family member) who did this, if the pregnancy was by a criminal adult, the perp is free to walk. It’s hard to go through a criminal trial of molestation without notifying the parents at least once.

Freedom of speech?

Yeahhhh kinda. But people talking to a man’s daughter, in the presence of the dad, in a very emotional situation on both sides, are usually out on very thin ice. I’m pro-life, and think it’s sad the dad would be a party to this. But the possibility exists that he wasn’t real happy about her deciding to abort, but had no say if she was 18. If thats the case, it’s possible that he wasn’t *at all* happy about it, but still won’t abide others approaching his daughter.

[sanjoaquinvalley]

So he’s forcing his daughter his daughter at gunpoint to have an abortion. Uh the police need to take her and find out what’s going on. Sounds like she’s a prisoner and maybe the mother too.

[topher]

The mother and daughter were talking to the two pro-lifers -- not just the daughter...

The father was upset. But his wife was also going against his wishes.

[stompk]

back to the hidden room in the basement for her !

[chris_bdba]

Well now his whole community will knw his name and that he wanted to kill his own grandchild. Since the clinic was evacuated and closed for two hours I’d just about bet that most appointments were canceled that were not already in progress.Hopefully the publicity and his jail stay will be enough time to keep him from forcing hs daughter to kill her child.

[usurper]

Sounds like the parents are coercing the daughter to get an abortion.

Daddy probably knocked her up and was in hurry to get rid of the evidence.

[topher]

Since this was a late-term abortion mill, they lost a lot of business. It is a longer process to kill babies that way...
