COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) A man charged under an Ohio fetal homicide law for taking his pregnant girlfriend to an abortion clinic at gunpoint pleaded guilty Thursday to attempted murder, weapons and abduction counts.
Dominic Holt-Reid, 28, pulled a gun Oct. 6 on girlfriend Yolanda Burgess and forced her to drive to the clinic, police said. Burgess, who was who was three months pregnant and 26 years old at the time, did not go through with the procedure but instead passed a note to a clinic employee, who called police. She has since delivered a healthy baby. Prosecutors brought their case against Holt-Reid using a 1996 law that says a person can be found guilty of murder for causing the unlawful termination of a pregnancy.

I guess this guy can be the next criminal hero to the left, like Mumia Abu-Jamal ...
He’s clearly guilty. If he wanted the baby and she didn’t, however, half the Country would applaud her right to choose, to kill.
The hypocrisy is legion. The choice nazis will sue to prevent one party from using fertilized embryos if the other won't allow it. They argue against being forced to procreate. Right here we see a situation where a man is trying to assert their very principle through force. They don't care. If he were trying to block her abortion, he'd be vilified just as he will be here. He'd have no standing.
A man’s right to force a choice?
