Capital Murder (2 counts), Armed Robbery, Assault on a Police Officer (3 incidents), Assault (7 incidents), Possession of a Prohibited Weapon (2 counts), Theft (3 counts), Theft by Check and Probation Violation (3 incidents) For "pro-choicer" Larry Donnell Davis, women were just objects to be used, abused and tortured as he saw fit especially if they were pregnant. He was a psychopath who was perfectly willing to maim and kill just to gain a small advantage for himself. But even psychos can have friends in this case, friends who were willing to torture and murder people just to get a gang tattoo, in this case a Crips teardrop. On August 28, 1995, Davis and his friends Raydon Drew, Donald Drew, Jr. and Christie Castillo drove to the residence of Michael Barrow in Amarillo, Texas, under the pretense of visiting him. Davis

directed the murderous activities that followed. Davis posted lookouts at each end of the street, and then his friends stabbed Barrow many times with knives and an ice pick as Davis pushed his booted foot into Barrow's throat to keep him down. Then they searched the house for items to steal. They heard Barrow cough, so they went back to him and mercilessly stabbed and battered him so badly his body was hardly recognizable. Then the four stole a VCR, a camcorder, a stereo system, a cordless phone, a television, and jewelry from the residence, which Davis tried to pawn a few days later. In a fourteen-page statement, Davis confessed to the murder. Davis was certainly no stranger to the Texas criminal justice system. He had been arrested and convicted many times for various crimes, including possession of a prohibited weapon, theft over $750, and theft. Davis' former wife, Mary Cornelius, also testified during his trial that he was mentally and physically abusive during their marriage. Davis monitored her every move, and would not allow her to use the phone or leave the house. He held her at knifepoint, and on other occasions required her to stand before him for great lengths of time, sometimes naked, not allowing her to sit down or to leave the house. Davis also kicked her and beat her, even while she was pregnant. One time, Davis kicked her in the stomach so hard she miscarried. Davis would rub her with alcohol because he thought it would keep her from bruising when he hit her. When she gave birth to a healthy baby later, Davis wanted her to abandon it in the hospital because they "could have another baby" and get out of town. Davis also horribly abused Sherry Morrison, another former girlfriend. Davis would lock her in the house and mark the door so that he would know if she had tried to leave. After she became pregnant, Davis kicked her in the stomach, telling her he did not want her to keep the baby. Davis also stole her belongings when she left him. On one occasion when Davis was in jail, he attacked three police officers. On other occasions, he was convicted of unauthorized carrying of a weapon, namely a club and an eight-inch hunting knife; possession of a prohibited weapon; probation violation (twice); and theft by check. Ample evidence also identified him as the culprit in a second capital murder case, where he beat a man to death with the top of a toilet tank, and an armed robbery at a children's clothing store. A jury convicted Davis of capital murder on March 19, 1999, sentenced him to death on March 27, 1999, and he was executed by the State of Texas via lethal injection on July 31, 2008.

Austin, Texas
Capital Murder (2 counts) Terence Lawrence was a typical pro-choice "player." He had several girlfriends, and so, when one of them Antwonyia Smith told him in 2004 that she was pregnant by him, he told another of his girlfriends that he would "take care of" the problem. So he got a shotgun and murdered Antwonyia, shooting her three times to make absolutely certain that she and her preborn child were dead. A jury convicted Lawrence of two counts of capital murder, and a judge sentenced him to life in

prison. Lawrence complained that he had been convicted of two counts of capital murder, saying that his preborn child was not viable and so should not be charged for its murder. But the Court of Criminal Appeals in Austin unanimously rejected his appeal. References: Chuck Lindell. "[Texas] Judges OK Prosecutions for Fetal Murder."

Capital Murder, Rape, Assault with a Deadly Weapon (ADW), Aggravated Assault (4 incidents), Assault on a Police Officer (3 incidents), Injury to a Child, Death Threat, Grand Theft Auto, Robbery (3 incidents) and Theft Selwyn P. Davis was just another "pro-choice" male who repeatedly used and abused women at his pleasure. He assaulted police officers three times, and suddenly attacked a teacher and another student for no reason whatsoever at Lanier High School. He also robbed random strangers on several occasions. Additionally, he spent five years in prison for beating up a young child. The 280-pound Davis also got 13-year-old Linda Martinez pregnant and, when her mother told him about the pregnancy, he viciously attacked her, kicking her in the stomach repeatedly in an attempt to make her miscarry. Finally, Davis went on a brutal two-day rampage beginning on August 21, 2006. He began by beating and torturing his ex-girlfriend, fracturing her eye socket and jaw, slicing her leg with a knife, pouring rubbing alcohol over her head, and threatening to set her on fire. Then he drove to his uncle's home and attacked him with a knife, severely lacerating him. He stole his aunt's car and purse and went on an overnight drug binge. The following morning, figuring he didn't have much to lose at that point, he drove to the home of Linda's mother, Regina Lara. He waited for her to come home from work, but a teenager came home first. He raped her and continued to wait. Then, when Regina arrived, he ambushed her and stabbed her in the heart four times, murdering her. During court testimony, Davis boasted that "I killed that bitch, and I'm glad I did. She deserved it." On October 4, 2007, a Travis County jury took four hours to find Davis guilty of capital murder. On October 15, the jury sentenced him to death.

Aggravated Assault and Destruction of Property (2 incidents) In May 1993, abortionist Peter Kropf carried a 12-gauge shotgun and an automatic handgun to a pro-life prayer vigil. He pointed the shotgun at the pro-lifers and police and refused to put it down when police ordered him to. During the same prayer vigil, a pro-abortion woman destroyed two pro-life signs.

Assault with a Deadly Weapon (ADW) A pro-abortionist attacked sidewalk counselor George Wooley with a weed eater, holding it to his neck. A weed eater is capable of cutting down young trees having trunks of perhaps one-half inch in diameter. Reference: Operation Rescue National, Violence and Disruption Report, December 10, 1994. Violations of Patient Confidentiality Laws (22 incidents), Illegal Disposal of Medical Waste (22 incidents), Violation of Informed Consent Laws (11 incidents) and Violation of Health and Safety Standards (8 incidents) As this database conclusively proves, abortion clinics are nothing more than moneymaking machines for their owners and staff abortionists. Time and time again, authorities inspect and then close filthy abortion mills, whose personnel obviously could not care less about the health and welfare of women or even freedom of choice. All they really care about is the pursuit of money.

During the time period December 2010 to February 2011, Operation Rescue conducted an investigation of a dozen abortion mills all over Texas, and obtained evidence of pervasive violations of both State and Federal laws at each and every facility. Operation Rescue found five general categories of violations, each of which is evidence that these abortion mills were cutting corners in their mad dash for cash;

The illegal disposal of hazardous bio-medical and infectious waste, including human urine, blood, and tissue that were recovered from open trash bins, along with the discovery of dirty and poorly maintained conditions inside the abortion clinics. Vials of I.V. and injectable drugs were found in the dumpsters, mixed with packets containing the bloody refuse from abortions. Some of those bottles were still partially full. These drugs included injectable versions of Lidocaine, a numbing drug that has caused deaths in abortion patients; Methergine, which is applied to the uterus to control bleeding; and Midazolam, (Versed), a drug that depresses the nervous system. Massive violations of the Federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), which is designed to protect the privacy of patients and their medical information. Hundreds of patient names, addresses, and other sensitive information were discovered and recovered, after having been illegally dumped or discarded by the abortion clinics. There were dozens of sonograms with parental names clearly identifiable, infringing on patient privacy, in the dumpsters, along with numerous patient charts, receipts, ledgers, and other private medical paperwork with full names, birth dates, addresses and phone numbers, financial information, procedure details and more. In at least nine cases, full documents were dumped, containing such detailed information as the patients name, the name of her escort to the abortion clinic, the date of her abortion, whether she was a return patient, the cost of her abortion and how it was being funded, the gestational age of her preborn baby, and the patients referral source. Widespread abuses of the Texas mandated informed consent laws, where abortionists were recorded mocking the required information or giving the required information in such an inaudible manner that patients are heard on the recording complaining that they could not

Texas - Page 4 -

understand a word that was being said. This category includes pervasive violations of the 24hour waiting period. Undercover calls and visits to the abortion clinics revealed a pattern of willingness to help minors evade parental consent laws and ignore the mandatory reporting of child sexual abuse. One recorded audio of a clinic worker at Whole Womens Health in McAllen showed her telling the boyfriend of an underage pregnant girl that she will not report him for rape.

The final resting place for preborn children (and patient records) behind the Whole Womens Health abortion mill in McAllen, Texas (photo by Operation Rescue) Operation Rescue found evidence of specific violations of various laws by individual abortion clinics, as follows; Whole Womens Health (Austin, Texas) Illegal disposal of medical waste in violation of Texas Administrative Code 25 Rule 330.1207, Generators of Medical Waste and Texas Administrative Code 25 Rule 330.1219, Treatment and Disposal of Medical Waste. Illegal disposal of private patient information and/or records Whole Womens Health (Beaumont, Texas) Violations of HIPAA, the Federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act Illegal dumping of biohazard/medical waste Whole Womans Health (Fort Worth, Texas) HIPAA violations Illegal dumping of biohazard/medical waste Abortionists at this abortion mill openly mocked the Texas Right to Know [informed consent]

Texas - Page 5 -

law. During a conference call, abortionists William West, Alan Molson, Brook Randal and Margaret Kini made statements mocking informed consent laws, the Texas legislature and the Texas Department of Health Web sites abortion information. West said to one caller that The anti-abortion folks have waged this fear campaign for years now, um, making numerous false charges about the quote dangers of abortion, and uh, one completely fictitious this is drummed up spread all around is that there is an increased risk of breast cancer and interference with future childbearing and so forth. None of these are true. Its their attempt to scare you out of having an abortion. Whole Womens Health (McAllen, Texas) HIPAA violations Illegal dumping of biohazard/medical waste Bloody smears on the toilet and other areas Faucets were corroded and leaking Whole Womans Health (San Antonio, Texas) HIPAA violations Illegal dumping of biohazard/medical waste Hilltop Women's Reproductive Clinic (El Paso, Texas) Does abortions on Texas minors in New Mexico, forcing them to cross state lines in order to evade parental consent laws in Texas Routh Street Womens Clinic (Dallas, Texas) Did not report the statutory rape of a 13-year-old girl with a 24-year-old man. Abortion mills staff told the girl she should tell her mother, but took no action to report the incident Abortion Advantage (Dallas, Texas) Failed to ask questions and did not report the sexual abuse of a caller who indicated that she was 13 years old and had been impregnated by a much older man New Womens Clinic (San Antonio, Texas) Filthy clinic with rancid, foul smell A nurse named Toni encouraged a girl posing as a 13 year old to lie about statutory rape, and to lie to a judge to get a judicial bypass for an abortion Planned Parenthood (San Antonio, Texas) HIIPA violations: Urine cups in the trash can of the restroom marked with patient information Womans Choice Quality Health (San Antonio, Texas) Dirty, leaky roof and damaged ceiling Northpark Medical Group (Dallas, Texas) Violations of the Texas informed consent law (telephone recording only, with no one available to answer questions). Abortionist William West had recorded instructions stating that it was fine for women to come to the abortion clinic for abortions in less than 24 hours, in clear violation of the Womens Right to Know Act, which specifies After you get this information, your doctor must wait 24 hours before your abortion can be performed. Operation Rescue President Troy Newman concluded that This investigation shows that violations of the law at abortion clinics are a widespread crisis of epidemic proportions. The evidence we uncovered of illegal activity reveals a systemic problem throughout Texas that is not confined to one particular clinic or group of clinics. These violations endanger the heath of women, violate the rights of women to be informed and have their medical records protected, and present health hazards to the general public. We also found disturbing evidence of attempts to evade parental consent

laws and child sex abuse reporting laws. This illegal activity endangers the safety and welfare of children throughout Texas. Our investigation focused on what the average woman would experience if she sought an abortion in Texas, and how the abortion clinics appeared and operated on an everyday basis, said Newman. From what we found, women are subjected to a variety of abortion abuses as a matter of routine. Violating the law is standard operating procedure for abortion clinics in Texas. Operation Rescues dogged diligence finally paid off. On March 31, 2011, the Texas Medical Board wrote to Troy Newman and said that it will put a team together under a senior investigator and begin looking at these abortion mills at once. The Medical Board will also investigate abortionists Jasbir Ahlwualia, Arthur John Brock, Robert Hanson, Margaret Kini, Pedro Kowalyszyn, Sherwood C. Lynn, Jr., Lester Minto, Alan Molson, Robert L. Prince, Lamar Robinson, Franz Theard, William West, Douglas A. Karpen and Brook Randal. Interestingly, YouTube and Vimeo both removed videos posted by Operation Rescue on these abuses, thereby directly and actively assisting the abortion industry to cover up their crimes and endanger women.

Operation Rescues full report on its three-month-long investigation of these Texas abortion mills can be found at http://www.operationrescue.org/archives/tx-abortion-abuses/. Violation of Civil Rights Many government agencies could not care less about the conscience rights of pro-life people. The Austin, Texas-based Capital Area Rural Transportation System (CARTS) is one of these agencies. CARTS covers nine counties around Austin, and one of its drivers was pro-lifer and former pastor Edwin Graning. In January 2010, CARTS dispatched Graning to take two women to Planned Parenthood for abortions. He called his supervisor and told her that, in good conscience, he could not take someone to have an abortion. The supervisor then said Then you are resigning. He was subsequently fired for his refusal to transport the women and thus assist in their abortions. Later in 2010, Graning filed suit in United States District Court in Austin, and in April 2011, CARTS settled with him for $21,000 when it realized that it would cost less to do so than to continue defending itself in court. Graning said that I was put in a position and I was asked to participate in something I am strongly against. Thats what caused this whole thing. But CARTS Board member Ronny Hibler publicly supported violating Granings civil rights, saying that Theres a lot of things as a county commissioner that I dont like, but I do it because its my job. Instead of admitting that forcing pro-life drivers to take women for abortions is a violation of their civil rights, CARTS reinforced its policy, making it clear to all drivers when they are hired that they must take users of the bus system to any destination, including abortion mills. The settlement with Graning also prohibits him from seeking employment with CARTS in the future, making it perfectly clear that pro-lifers are not welcome there. Reference: Steven Ertelt.

Brownsville, Texas
Kidnapping, Rape (12 incidents), Assault (6 incidents) and Forced Abortions (2 incidents) We hear lots of lovely prattle from the "pro-choicers" about how "reproductive rights" are the first rights for women; about how women simply cannot live their lives without abortion; and about how prenatal child lynching adds greatly to the dignity of women. This database includes many examples of how individual men use abortion to cover up their rapes and their patterns of incest with girls as young as ten years old. As bad as these cases are, they pale against the horrors of institutional and systematized forced abortion used against women right here in the United States by the "institution" of sexual slavery. To the best of our knowledge, no "pro-choice" individual or organization has ever spoken out against forced abortion used in the context of sexual slavery. However, we do hear about forced abortion from activists who battle sexual slavery all around the world. For example, a speaker described one pitiful case at a Honolulu conference on trafficking in women and children in November 2002. Deputy Secretary Claude A. Allen of the Department of Health and Human Services told an audience of 300 activists the tale of a 13-year-old Mexican girl tricked into prostitution in the United States. This girl, waiting tables in a small Mexican town, was persuaded that she could make ten times more money in Texas. Two men told her that they would arrange immigration papers and transportation, promised to find her another job if she didn't like the first one, and would bring her back if she got homesick. She and several other girls walked for four days and nights through the desert and across the Rio Grande to Brownsville, Texas, and then men drove them to a trailer in a deserted area of Florida. Allen continued: "Only then was the little 13-year old girl told that she had been sold to a brothel and would have to work off her debt by sexually servicing men. She was a virgin, and she didn't know what they were talking about, but she knew it was bad, so she refused. She was then brutally gang-raped to induct her into the business." Allen said that, for the next six months, the girl was forced to service 10 to 15 men a day. "Twice she was impregnated, twice forced to have an abortion, and twice she was back in the brothel the next day," Allen told the hushed audience in the convention center. The traffickers circulated her through trailer brothels and private parties, where she was passed around. She was pistol-whipped and raped if she resisted. The girl was finally rescued when two girls ran to neighbors who called police. Allen said that "She had multiple sexually transmitted diseases, scar tissue from the forced abortions, and was addicted to drugs and alcohol. She had post-traumatic stress syndrome, including severe depression and suicidal thoughts. She was physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually broken. ... This is a modern-day form of slavery." Sexual slavery is a huge business, generating an estimated $7 billion for the traffickers. It would not be anywhere as near as lucrative without the very useful tool of abortion. Kevin Bales, a researcher and author, says that "There are more slaves today than at any time in history," with 27 million people in one form of slavery or another. Throughout Asia, women and children are forced not only into prostitution but marriage, domestic service and factory work. Because the coercive "family planning" policy in China generally limits families to one child, and girls are often aborted or killed, there are about 115 men to every 100 women. Indian brothels use an estimated 200,000 women from Nepal. Guesses about prostitutes in Thailand

Texas - Page 8 -

range from 200,000 to 800,000, many imported from Burma, China, Laos and Cambodia. A South Korean activist, Young Sook Cho, alleged that the 37,000 U.S. troops there were the root of her country's prostitution. In response, Maj. Gen. Ronald Lowe, chief of staff of the Pacific Command here, said troops were being advised that soliciting a prostitute violated South Korean law and U.S. military regulations, and they could go to jail for it. You can imagine for yourself how effective this threat was. Soldiers from any nation on foreign soil traditionally use prostitutes, and could not care less whether they are in the 'trade' voluntarily or not. The sexual traffickers range from organized-crime syndicates like the Mafia, Japan's yakuza and Chinese triads to "mom-and-pop" operations. Most prostitutes are tricked rather than forced into leaving home with promises of good jobs. Traffickers forge documents, arrange sea or air transport, have safe houses to hide the women, and sell them to bars, brothels and massage parlors. "It's the reverse of the underground railroad the Abolitionists used to free slaves in the American South," an anti-slavery activist explained. Once at their destinations, women are isolated because they don't know the language or customs, and are threatened with arrest if they leave brothels. Corrupt immigration officials, police and travel agents abet the trafficking. The misery of the 13-year-old girl described above is enough to make the knees of any decent person weak.

Aggravated Assault (2 counts) Cordera Wilson's girlfriend was pregnant, and he was not happy about it. She refused to get an abortion, so he decided to kill his child the old-fashioned way by beating his girlfriend so savagely that she miscarried. He decided to have two of his female cousins do his dirty work for him. On July 10, 2008, Avianca Dyer and an unnamed 16-year-old juvenile attacked the girlfriend, knocked her to the ground, and repeatedly kicked her in the abdomen while screaming that Wilson did not want the baby. The girlfriend was taken to the hospital, where it was found that she had miscarried her baby not because of the attack, but due to natural causes about two weeks earlier. Prosecutors and police were prepared to bring murder charges under Texas' fetal homicide law until they learned of the miscarriage. Instead, they charged Dyer and the juvenile with aggravated assault and set their bonds at $40,000 each. References: "Unborn Child the Focus of Attack."

Larceny, Illegally Carrying a Concealed Weapon, Public Intoxication, Entering a Building with Unlawful Intent, Contributing to the Delinquency of a Minor (3 counts), Driving Under the Influence and Shoplifting There was plenty of evidence that "pro-choicer" Cameron Willingham didn't like children, whether they were born or unborn. He wasn't particularly fond of animals, either. During his multiple murder trial, witnesses testified that Willingham abused his wife and little daughters verbally and physically, and that at one time he beat his pregnant wife with a telephone in an effort to make her suffer a miscarriage. One of his friends also testified that Willingham once bragged about brutally killing a dog. Willingham and his wife had three beautiful young daughters two-year-old Amber Louise Kuykendall and 1-year-old twins Karmon Diane and Kameron Marie Willingham. On December 23, 1991, Willingham distributed an accelerant around various parts of his home and set it on fire with his three little girls sleeping inside. One of Willingham's neighbors testified that, instead of trying to rescue his daughters, he "hollered about his car" and ran to move it away from the fire. One of the firefighters who had been at the scene testified that Willingham was upset that his dart board had been burned. The next day, he was sifting through the debris of his home while playing music and laughing. Later, he used the proceeds from an insurance policy he had taken out on the girls to buy a new pickup truck. Willingham admitted to a fellow inmate that he had burned the house with the girls inside to conceal evidence that he had physically abused them. Pat Batchelor, who was Navarro County District Attorney when the murders took place, said "I can't think of a more horrible case. All you had to do was see the pictures of little babies. Anybody that can do that, you just think: My God, what kind of sadistic monster is this?" John Jackson, the prosecutor in Willingham's case, said that "In my opinion, Willingham was an utterly sociopathic individual. He had a lifestyle that really didn't include care and nurturing of children. And, in my opinion, the children were just an impediment to his lifestyle." A jury found Willingham guilty of three counts of capital murder and sentenced him to death. Willingham had a long record of petty crime before he murdered his three little girls, including convictions for burglary, grand larceny, carrying a concealed weapon, public intoxication, entering a building with unlawful intent, contributing to the delinquency of a minor (3 counts), driving under the influence and shoplifting. The State of Texas executed Cameron Todd Willingham by lethal injection on February 17, 2004. When he saw his ex-wife Stacy Kuykendall outside the execution chamber, he said to her "I hope you rot in Hell, bitch." References: Willingham v.

Riot, Animal Abuse (2 incidents), Possession of a Deadly Weapon, Attempted Burglary, Possession of Contraband and Drug Paraphernalia (3 counts), Possession of Marijuana, Disorderly Conduct, Destruction of Property, Vandalism and Use of Intoxicants [Garland] Even by "pro-choice" standards, Daniel Joe Hittle was a maniac. When he was in high school, he tortured and killed a neighbor's dog because it would not stop barking. In 1972, he lived in Minnesota with his adoptive parents. When his father's dog scratched his pickup truck with its claws, he shot both his mother and his father to death. Then he grabbed the dog, tied it to a tree, tortured it and shot it, and left it hanging there. He showed no remorse for these murders, and told a friend that killing people was not that exciting, or just not that big of a deal to him. He was convicted and spent eleven years in prison for the murders of his parents. When he was arrested for the murders, he told the police officer "I will remember you when we meet again." Hittle had also threatened the lives of police officers on at least two other occasions. He was convicted of his parent's murders in 1973 and sentenced to thirty years in prison. He was not exactly a model prisoner. He was charged with possession of a deadly weapon, possession of contraband and drug paraphernalia (three times), disobeying a direct order (twice), interfering with a shakedown, possession of marijuana, interfering with a correctional officer, disorderly conduct, inciting other inmates to riot, destruction of property, arson, use of intoxicants, and assault. Incredibly, despite all of this, he was paroled in 1984 after serving only eleven years. Hittle abused his first wife terribly. On one occasion, he was drunk and she refused to give him his car keys, so he pointed a loaded shotgun at her, then struck her one-year old daughter in the face. He liked to abuse the little girl as well. Once he gave her a doll, then one day took it away from her and tied it over her playpen in a hangman's noose. He also taunted his wife with the fact that he was committing adultery. When she became upset, he beat her and choked her almost to death after bringing in the little girl to watch the abuse. His second wife fared no better. He routinely beat her, and when she was nine months pregnant, deliberately kicked her hard in the stomach in an attempt to induce a miscarriage. During their wedding shower, he struck her when she didn't clean up a mess she had made. He also struck her baby daughter across the face and refused to support them he would rather spend his income on alcohol. On November 15, 1989, Hittle was speeding, and Garland police officer Gerald Walker stopped him. When Walker stepped up to Hittle's pickup truck, Hittle shot him in the chest with a shotgun at pointblank range. Hittle then drove to the home of Mary Goss, his drug dealer. With nothing else to lose now, Hittle kicked in the door and murdered everyone in the house Goss, Richard Cook Jr., Raymond Gregg, and even Goss's 4-year-old daughter, Christy Condon. He had to reload in order to murder the terrified little girl. He did not know that Officer Walker had radioed in his license plate number, and when police gave chase, he ran his truck off the road and wrecked it, then began shooting at the police until he ran out of ammunition. A jury convicted Hittle of capital murder in the killing of Officer Walker. He was not tried for the other four murders. Dallas Assistant District Attorney Toby Shook said that Hittle was "Obviously a very violent, vicious human being," and another prosecutor, Andy Beach, added "A poster boy for the death penalty. He is the classic sociopath." The State of Texas executed Daniel Joe Hittle by lethal injection on December 6, 2000.

Murder and Statutory Rape Teshibra Bell, who was only 15 years old, met a man at a convenience store in Southern Dallas. The man, "pro-choicer" Shannon Meshack, was 25 years old and had a reputation as a "ladies man." Teshibra became infatuated with Meshack and eventually began skipping school and sneaking out of her house to meet him. She eventually began to have sex with him. Her family tried to discourage the relationship and contacted authorities about her truancy, but refrained from filing statutory rape charges with the police. In June 2003, Teshibra was five months pregnant with Meshack's baby. She was looking forward to having the child, but Meshack did not want a child. So he strangled Teshibra. He then dragged her body into his back yard, piled up some debris, and tried to burn her. He told firefighters who responded to an unconscious person call that he was burning material in his back yard to repel mosquitoes, said Sgt. Larry Lewis of the Police Department's homicide unit. "One of the firemen saw a body in a back room covered up" with a sheet, Sgt. Lewis said. "He apparently had taken her outside and, with some sort of accelerant, tried to set her on fire. We think that he was trying to burn her ... and maybe seeing the fire trucks or hearing them, he brought the body back inside the house. He was telling the firemen there was nothing in there." On June 23, police arrested Meshack and charged him with Teshibra's murder. The next day, the Dallas medical examiner's office ruled that Teshibra died from homicidal violence, including strangulation. Although Meshack can be charged in the death of Teshibra, prosecutors won't be able to charge him with the death of Teshibra's preborn child. Octavia Fields had raised Teshibra from the time she was in elementary school. Once Teshibra found herself pregnant, she hid the pregnancy. Fields said she continued to try to persuade Teshibra to leave Meshack, but she wouldn't. "He didn't want her to have the baby," Fields said. Mike Hannesschlager, director of the Texas Christian Coalition, told LifeNews that "The murderer of Teshibra Lysha Bell is in fact guilty of the murder of two people Ms. Bell and her unborn baby. Bell's life was taken in her youth, and her baby's life was taken before birth. Both lives are precious in God's sight, and are beyond price." References: Jason Trahan.

Assault, Reckless Conduct and Theft On August 7, 2004, a group of sidewalk counselors from Operation Save America - Dallas, including children and a baby, was picketing outside the Fairmount abortion mill in Dallas, Texas. Suddenly, a woman walking into the abortion mill doused them with a can of pepper spray. Rev. John D. Reyes, Director of Operation Save America - Dallas, said that "The woman obviously had no value for any life whatsoever, born or unborn from the largest to the smallest that she would use this weapon upon gentle Christians, including a baby!" The woman was later arrested by police and charged with reckless conduct. But the pro-lifer's trials at the hands of violent pro-abortionists were not yet over that morning. A man walking into the abortion mill attacked Dan Russell, who was carrying a camcorder. He pushed and pulled Dan, grabbed the video camera, and took it into the abortion mill. He only returned it (minus the tape) when police were called. He was charged with assault and theft.

Assault In the Spring of 1992, pro-lifers were picketing the house of abortionist Norman Tompkins. Police were on the scene, and at one point the abortionist was talking with them while the abortionist's wife was sitting in her car at the location of the discussion with the police. Pro-lifer Rick Blinn walked up to the discussion to see what was being said, and the abortionist's wife sprayed him with mace from inside her car. The police took Rick to a fire station for emergency eye irrigation. Rick pressed charges for assault. Reference: Rick Blinn, telephone conversation with Lynn K. Murphy, December 8, 1994.

During an abortion at the Southside Medical Center in El Paso on April 11, 1984, Showery tore

Texas - Page 13 -

Mickey Apodaca's uterus and severed her uterine artery. She hemorrhaged for two hours before Showery would allow her to be transferred to a nearby hospital. She bled to death during emergency surgery to remove her uterus. During Showery's trial, the prosecution charged that he used inadequately trained staff, failed to properly treat the tear, delayed treatment, and delayed Mickey's transfer to a hospital. The abortionist refused to provide records to the grand jury on the grounds that they might incriminate him. He was indicted for manslaughter. Amazingly, while Showery was in jail, six pro-abortion women protested in Showery's defense outside the courthouse, asserting that Showery "is a good man who helps the poor." He performed this abortion while still on bail pending appeal of his conviction for murder in the case of a late-term aborted baby (weighing five pounds) who survived his 1979 abortion attempt. Showery deliberately drowned the viable baby. The abortionist was found guilty in 1983 of the 1979 murder of a 7-month preborn child he aborted by hysterotomy. Employees testified that the infant girl had light brown hair, was about a foot long, and curled up in Showery's hand. An employee saw the infant apparently attempting to breathe as Showery held the placenta over her face. Showery then dropped her into a bucket of water. Employees testified that bubbles rose to the surface. Showery then put her in a plastic bag which was tied and put at the end of the operating room. The bag moved as though someone were breathing in it, then the bag stopped moving. One witness said he was holding the bag Showery put the infant in, and that he later put the bag in the freezer where fetuses were stored. Showery was convicted and sentenced to 15 years in prison, even though the body of the infant was never found and employees could not identify the patient upon whom the abortion was performed. Five former employees testified that they had seen Showery kill the infant. The jury chose to convict for murder even though they had the option of convicting for manslaughter. Despite all the witnesses, Showery denied all the allegations. He said "I never killed a baby, and if I'm not telling you the truth, may I die right now." Showery's license was revoked in the wake of the murder conviction, as well as a 1981 conviction for insurance fraud (keeping the patient's insurance refund for two abortions). He had been on a 10-year probation since 1981 for inadequate records of prescribed drugs. Showery had also been convicted of a felony charge of altering his hospital's records, which hindered state's attempts to locate the woman whose baby he had drowned. Former employees alleged that Showery falsified records on all patients over 20 weeks pregnant, saying they were all 20 weeks pregnant, and that such abortions were routine. One former employee, Gloria, said she assisted in abortions in which Showery would sedate the patient, dilate the cervix, and pull the fetus out with forceps. She said that "He wanted them in pieces, but a lot of times they would come out whole," and said that she saw signs of life in at least two fetuses aborted this way. Another former employee, Belinda, said she looked away as Showery removed a fetus through a hysterotomy incision, and that when she turned back Showery had placed the child in a plastic bag in a bucket "and just waited until it stopped moving." She said the child squirmed and wiggled for about 10 seconds. Former employee Anita alleged that for late abortions, "He walks in, closes the door, and locks it." She also said Showery instructed them "If you see any movement or anything, you don't see anything, you don't know anything," and that he asked employees to look away when the preborn child was extracted. A former employee said the children would be put in plastic bags and frozen, and that employees did not know what became them but that someone removed them from the freezer. An autopsy on a male fetus identified as Baby John Doe #81-01, found among other fetuses in the freezer at Showery's hospital, was inconclusive as to whether he was born live due to decomposition during thawing. The fetus was just over 2 pounds, just over 13 inches long, with sparse dark hair. The autopsy also found meconium, usually found in the intestine of full-term fetuses. Showery denied ever performing abortions after 20 weeks, and is quoted as saying, "If that baby takes a breath, that's life. Now

Texas - Page 14 -

the department of vital statistics comes into it and you fill out death certificates. It cried once. It took life. It took breath. It becomes a person. You cannot dispose of it with hospital wastage. It must go to the mortician and et cetera." The abortion mill where he worked never filed a single fetal death certificate. Showery claimed indigence and asked the State to pay for his defense in his manslaughter trial in Mickey Apodaca's death. The prosecution showed that Showery was adept at transferring assets to hide them. His defense claimed that legal fees had so depleted Showery's assets he had given one attorney his car and another his boat to pay legal fees. He was said to have traded his shares on Family Hospital for stock in a bogus Mexican mining operation. His sons circulated a letter among doctors and lawyers soliciting contributions to a defense fund. A police report was filed alleging burglars broke into Showery's house and safe, taking five handguns worth $200-$400 each, two rings worth about $500 each, a charge card, and some keys; police investigating the alleged burglary were hindered by Showery's attorney's private investigator who would not allow them to move freely about the home; officers could not find the point of entry into the house, and the safe did not appear to have been forced open. Showery was ordered to pay for his own defense. Showery had also filed for bankruptcy in 1976, claiming debts of about $2 million In January 1978, Showery aborted patient "Ida." Soon after, she was told by her physician she was 19 weeks pregnant, so she returned to Showery to complain. He refused to complete the abortion for free as follow-up, telling Ida "he wasn't Sears. He didn't have to guarantee his work." The examination was so painful "Ida" described it as "like he just put his whole fist up there, just jammed it." Showery told "Ida" "You whores just get in trouble all the time." Showery performed the second abortion, and "Ida" awoke in a hospital bed in a pool of blood. One week later, she expelled 6 inches of umbilical cord and "a small, bloody four-fingered hand." Showery also aborted "Cora," who woke up several hours after the abortion and was sent home. After complications set in, another gynecologist rushed her to an emergency room, where it was found she had fragments of the placenta in her bladder. Surgery revealed air and over two pints of fluids in her abdominal cavity, a 3/4-inch puncture of her bladder, and a 4-inch laceration of her uterus and cervix. The gynecologist described her injuries as "very, very bad. If she had not come to the hospital ... she may have suffered severe shock, or worse, irreversible shock, from which you don't return. Death or a vegetative state." The abortionist's patients were urged to abort immediately because the price of abortion increased $50 each week. Showery's staff reported that he told them during "slow weeks" not to run pregnancy tests but to make them all positive. Patients who needed time to get the money were told to ignore any vaginal bleeding, "that the onset of a seemingly normal five-day menstrual period means nothing." The staff even fudged ultrasound tests to convince patients they were pregnant. One undercover agent reported alleged that, when her pregnancy test was negative, the ultrasound technician told her she was failing to menstruate due to a "mucous sac" which Showery could remove with a D&C. Another reporter alleged that she was told she had mucous plugging her cervix and Showery had to do a $265 D&C to remove it. Another reporter was told the ultrasound showed a 10-12 week fetus, although an OB/GYN examined her later and determined her not to be pregnant. One reporter was menstruating at the time of her test and visit, and reported that Showery told her she was likely pregnant and to return in two weeks. Showery denied having anything to do with pregnancy testing, and when asked if he told employees to lie, said, "Well, that's absolutely nave even to ask such a question; to ask just like I've told you all up there, have I quit beating by wife. Did I put an ax to my mother's skull. If you intend to ask such an asinine question is to leave the situation with someone accused." Showery "criticized the extensive counseling given in other abortion programs, saying it is frightening and unnecessary, and that counseling at Family Hospital is "minimal." He said that "I'd do it

Texas - Page 15 -

just like that. If you sit down with a woman and counsel her all day long about abortion, she will probably say, "I've had enough," and leave." A reporter posing as a patient alleged: "I was not told of any risks. I was advised only of the cost of the procedure and the necessity for an appointment." When she returned with an editor posing as her husband and requested counseling from Showery, he told them, "We just put that sucker [abortion suction machine] in there and 'bam'." In an April 1981 news report, Showery said that "To my knowledge we have never had a serious problem or complication." The local Rape Crisis lines eventually stopped referring to Showery's abortion mill due to the many complaints against him. Reporters working on an investigation of Family Hospital alleged that, on March 3, 1981, "Showery followed them in his car and repeatedly veered toward their automobile, forcing them to the curb." They pressed charges and he was arrested. The District Attorney's office protested Showery's release on bond during trial for Mickey Apodaca's death because he'd threatened the prosecutor, a police detective, and a reporter covering Mickey's death. The detective said that "If I can make just one positive statement, it's that witnesses at the time showed that Dr. Showery was abusing drugs. And drugs can and will cause major changes in anybody." On March 10, 1981, the abortionist was charged with operating a child placement agency without a license. The charge stemmed from a woman's adoption of a baby born at Family Hospital in December. She paid Showery $3,000 according to receipts, and he claimed the money went toward the maternity fees of the biological mother. On March 6, 1979, Showery agreed to a permanent injunction, in essence admitting to such infractions as increasing his abortion prices after quoting a lesser total, refusing to give refunds, telling patients they required services actually not required, offering inferior maternity care as compared to the care he promised, and employing incompetent, unqualified and unlicensed persons to perform services which by law are required to be performed by licensed doctors and nurses. In May 1980, the Attorney General's office filed an amended petition alleging Showery had violated the final injunction. The state filed suit claiming Showery owed $167.42 in personal property taxes, and a jewelry store filed suit in 1976 for failure to pay a balance of $5,405 on two Rolex watches and some jewelry. The owners of a building where Showery had an office filed suit against him, claiming that "Showery owed $2,000 in rent ... and that the doctor had taken doors, cabinets, draperies and office fixtures that he did not own." The report noted that all doors had been removed from their hinges. One of the building owners said Showery even removed light switches. They said that Showery left the premises "in a shambles," but dropped the suit because Showery was "judgment-proof." A news story found that "His money is funneled into a growing art passion. He particularly loves the huge, sexually explicit surrealistic works of Raymond Douillet." Showery owned a number of works valued at from $40,000 to $50,000 each. "One of the Douillet paintings, which Showery said capture women "as they essentially are," depicts several nude women leaning forward with paint-brushes protruding from their rumps." According to another news story, Showery is "an Adolph Hitler aficionado" who owns "quite an arsenal" of guns and he reads voraciously about Hitler. Showery said that "Hitler was one of the most misunderstood men in history. He was really a great man." Showery said that the average employee of a local intensive care unit was "some filthy, degenerate, bearded weirdo smoking cigarettes ... hustling with the colored girl down the hall ... and reading a dirty book." He also said that "Sixty percent of the doctors in this town are foreign-educated, fresh off the banana boats," and said that the Ford Edsel failed because "it looks like a huge vagina rolling down the road" [El Paso Times, April 7, 1981]. A prominent El Paso physician told reporters he recommended Showery for medical school. When contacted by reporters, the physician asked that he not be named. Showery didn't finish his residency at

Texas - Page 16 -

Latter Day Saints Hospital because he reportedly "was dismissed from the hospital for showing a disregard for nursing staff." After losing his medical license, Showery became a professional wrestler called the "Chinese Bandit." He tried promoting professional wrestling, but both this venture and his karate school ended in financial insolvency. He was expelled from Southwestern General Hospital because he was unable to become board-eligible as a surgeon. He served as a part-time physician at the Planned Parenthood Center of El Paso during the mid- 1970s.

Fort Worth, Texas

Capital Murder (3 counts), Murder, Attempted Murder, Armed Robbery, Sexual Assault (7 counts), Menacing (2 incidents) and Drug Dealing "Pro-choicer" Edward Lewis LaGrone had repeatedly molested ten-year-old Shakeisha Lloyd since she was only eight years old, and she learned that she was 17 weeks pregnant. He offered to pay $1,500 for her to get an abortion, because he wanted to cover up his sexual abuse. Shakeisha's mother, Pamela Lloyd, noticed that her daughter's abdomen had expanded. The little girl said "Mommy, there's something moving around inside of me." A May 26, 2003 hospital examination confirmed that the girl was pregnant. Lloyd notified police that LaGrone had assaulted her daughter, and she demanded that LaGrone pay for an abortion. LaGrone had been dating Shakeisha's mother while he was on parole from 1977 murder and drug dealing convictions. During that time, he had been molesting and assaulting Shakeisha. Before dawn on May 30, 1991, the day after Shakeisha completed the fourth grade, LaGrone and three companions went to her house in East Fort Worth. Their intent was to kill everyone in the house to stop the filing of sexual assault charges against LaGrone. One of LaGrone's other girlfriends had bought the murder weapon for him. Shakeisha's uncle, Dempsey Lloyd, greeted them at the door, and LaGrone fired at him with a shotgun, hitting him in the arm. LaGrone then opened fire on two elderly women, Zenobia Anderson, 83, and Caola Lloyd, 76, who was blind and bedridden with terminal cancer, killing them both. Shakeisha paused to pick up her 19-month-old sister and shield her behind some boxes. She was shouting to her mother to hide when LaGrone walked up to her and shot her in the head, killing her instantly. Steve Conder, a Tarrant County assistant district attorney, said the murders are among the most chilling in Fort Worth history. He said "If I hadn't worked on the case, it would be hard to imagine anything like this ever happening." During the punishment phase, two of LaGrone's sisters testified that he had terrorized and sexually

Texas - Page 17 -

assaulted them at gunpoint in 1986. LaGrone was executed on February 11, 2004, in Huntsville, Texas. "He's a poster child to justify the death penalty," said David Montague, the Tarrant County assistant district attorney who prosecuted LaGrone. "Just a cold-blooded murderer. DNA evidence immediately linked him to the fetus of the girl who was killed." In June 1993, Pamela Lloyd, whom LaGrone had supplied with crack cocaine, married Gene Anthony Tutt and murdered him in July 1999. She was convicted of murder and served a five-year prison sentence. She had previously served time for armed robbery. She said of LaGrone, "Executing him won't bring back my baby and it won't bring back my aunts. But I don't even want to think about what I wanted to do to that man if I ever had the chance." References: Edward Lewis LaGrone v.

Capital Murder (2 counts) and Assault (4 incidents) During the early hours of February 19, 2005, Stephen Barbee traveled to the Fort Worth home of his girlfriend Lisa Underwood. He believed that she was pregnant with his child and, since Barbee was married, he wanted to cover up his adultery. He smothered Lisa by pressing her face into the living room carpet. But he wasn't done with his rampage yet. He grabbed Lisa's seven-year-old son Jayden, punched him hard in the face, and then smothered him the same way. He then took their bodies and dumped them in a wooded area of rural Denton County. Prosecutor Kevin Rousseau said "Jayden couldn't run. You think of (Barbee) approaching that little boy and slapping him upside the head hard enough to leave a bruise, and then holding him down until he's dead, and I dare you to say there is a reason to save his life." Lisa's mother, Sheila Underwood, addressed Barbee in a victim impact statement and said that "I want you to know I'm 53 years old and I don't have anything left. ... I want you to suffer like I suffer. You put me in hell." On February 20, 2006, Barbee was found guilty of two counts of capital murder. On February 27, a Fort Worth jury of seven women and five men sentenced the murderer to death. Lab tests showed that Lisa was not carrying Barbee's unborn baby after all. Lisa, however, believed that Barbee was the father of her baby, and only wanted Barbee, owner of two businesses, to have the baby covered on his health insurance. During Barbee's trial, his first wife Theresa testified that he had physically assaulted her four times during their marriage, in one case giving her a concussion. References: Associated Press.

Murder [Arlington] One of the reasons that "pro-choicers" fight so very hard to defend and promote abortion is because

Texas - Page 18 -

it is the perfect cover-up for older men who are molesting young girls. Nobody fights for "abortion rights" harder than men who are having affairs with young girls (often their own daughters) and who are cheating on their wives. A textbook example was offered by Ronald M. Hill, who was 33 years old, married and who had four children at home. His lack of morals and his cunning allowed him to have an affair with a girl who was only fifteen years old. On March 15, 2005, Hill visited 15-year-old Ingrid Smith, a Timberview High School student, at her South Arlington home with a pregnancy test, and demanded that she use it. When he found that she was pregnant, he demanded that she have an abortion. When she refused, he murdered her. Hill was arrested and charged with murder. He did not help his defense attorneys very much when he bragged to his two Tarrant County Jail cellmates that he had killed her because the pregnancy test was positive and that she refused his demand to have an abortion. One of his cellmates testified that "He said he told her that she can't be pregnant because he had a wife and four kids. She just told him that she was [pregnant]." On March 1, 2006, Hill pleaded guilty to murder and was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole after thirty years. References: "Teen Girl Killed by Abuser for Refusing Abortion." Star-Telegram [Tarrant County and North Texas], March 3, 2006; "Women Killed by Their Intimate Partners in Texas in 2005." Texas Council on Family Violence, September 27, 2007. Attempted Capital Murder College student Dana Wilson was pregnant by a man she met on an Internet dating service, but did not want her baby. Her doctor knew this, and recommended that she put the baby up for adoption. But she did not want anyone else to have her baby. She did not bother to get an abortion, but instead attempted to perform a "fourth-trimester" abortion on her baby. On November 14, 2003, she gave birth to a baby boy at her Hurst home. Then she wrapped her little newborn boy in a plastic shopping bag and tied it shut. Then she placed the smaller bag inside a black yard trash bag and tied that bag shut. Then she drove to a trash dumpster behind an animal clinic and dumped her son in it. A veterinarian found the little boy a few minutes later, soon enough to save his life, but not soon enough to spare him permanent neurological damage in the form of mental retardation and cerebral palsy brought on by blood loss and oxygen deprivation. After dumping her baby like trash, Wilson drove to Texas Wesleyan College for a class. Phelesa Guy, a Tarrant County assistant district attorney, said "She felt it was her right to throw her baby away. She didn't want him; she hated him. What did he do to deserve all that? Nothing." On June 23, 2005, a Tarrant County jury found Wilson guilty of attempted capital murder, and the next day sentenced her to 20 years in prison. She will be eligible for parole after serving 10 years.

Assault Pro-lifer Chris Karamitros attempted to talk to Trey McMinn on the public sidewalk outside a Fort Worth abortion mill. Without warning, McMinn deliberately pushed Karamitros into traffic, where he fell onto his back in front of passing cars. McMinn pleaded "no contest" to the charges.

Houston, Texas
Capital Murder Michael McDougall and his wife Jennifer had three children, and she was expecting a fourth, being 6 months pregnant. By all accounts, they were happy, and he seemed to be perfectly normal in every way to everyone who knew him. He was a highly-paid petroleum engineer who did his job very well. But sometimes, people just seem to snap. On May 16, 2010, neighbors heard arguing outside the McDougall home. When neighbors went to investigate, they saw McDougall and his wife physically struggling. They also saw him holding a gun, and retreated to call police. Then McDougall started shooting. Neighbor Judy Harr said that "We heard her scream, 'Oh no!' That's definitely what we heard, and then it was just terrifying screaming. Not even like a human. Not like a human even." Another neighbor, Gloria Hochanadel, said that she was startled by cries for help: I heard a woman screaming, Help me! Somebody, please help me! What are you doing? And then I heard the gunshots. There were four or five. There was no hesitation. They were bam bam bam. Gloria also said that Jennifer McDougall was a sweet redhead from Wyoming who was involved at a nearby church. She said Jennifer McDougall spoke a few weeks ago about how excited she was to be having her fourth child: She told me she just had an ultrasound and they knew it was going to be a little girl. She was upbeat, and said she was going out on a girls' night with friends that night to see a movie. On May 16, 2010, as he was arraigned and charged with capital murder, a reporter asked McDougall why he had murdered his wife. He turned to the television camera and replied simply "She had it coming." The autopsy of Jennifer showed that McDougall was deliberately targeting her abdomen, and he indicated during questioning that he wanted no part of that baby. References: Paige Hewett.

Murder [Richmond] On January 18, 2004, Dan Leach murdered his 19-year-old girlfriend, Ashley Nicole Wilson, who was pregnant with his child. He strangled her and hung her body in her apartment. Her mother discovered her body, and the medical examiner ruled her death a suicide. Leach left a letter written by Ashley near her body, which said that she was despondent because she was pregnant and the father did not want to help raise the child. This was intended to make people think she had killed herself. After seeing Mel Gibson's film "The Passion of the Christ" on March 7, 2004, Leach felt severe remorse for his murder, and confessed to it. He said that he killed Ashley because she was pregnant with his child and he did not want to be involved with her anymore or care for their child. Leach said "And so, after watching that movie, I was very emotional, and so I thought about the things I had done."

Texas - Page 20 -

Leach was released after his confession while police investigated and was arrested after a grand jury indicted him. Leach told police he learned how to disguise the killing from the television crime show "CSI." On August 13, 2004, after a five-day trial, Leach was sentenced to 75 years in prison for the murder of his pregnant girlfriend, at least half of which he must serve. The victim's mother, Renee Coulter, said to Leach "May you rot in jail or Hell, whichever is worse." References: "Christ Movie Moves Man to Confess Murder." Yahoo!

Human Trafficking (8 counts), Conspiracy (8 counts), Sexual Assault (12 counts), Obstruction of Justice (2 counts), Death Threats (10 incidents), Forced Abortions (15 incidents) and Assault (8 incidents) This is the story of the largest human trafficking, slavery and prostitution ring that has ever been broken up in the continental United States. In every single case of human sexual slavery, the perpetrators have used forced abortion to control the women slaves they kept and to conceal their activities, and this ring was no different. Eight people from Honduras and El Salvador entrapped at least 120 women. The ringleaders promised Central American women and girls good jobs in the United States. Instead, the ring forced them into slave labor and prostitution in bars, restaurants and cantinas in the Houston area in order to pay off the huge expenses imposed upon them for smuggling them into the United States in the first place. The ringleaders routinely used violence and threats to harm the victims and their families if they tried to leave before paying off their smuggling debts. Many of the more than 120 women enslaved by the defendants also suffered sexual assaults at their hands, and a large number were subjected to forced abortions. Several of the victims said that were threatened and beaten, and that members of the ring threatened to murder or harm their families in their native countries if they attempted to escape. Finally, in November 2005, after a year-long investigation, authorities raided the apartments where the women lived on Houston's Northwest side, and found 98 victims, witnesses and suspects. The number of victims in this case was eventually estimated at 120. Many of the women who were freed from the slavery ring suffer from psychological and physical health problems, including addictions and sexually transmitted diseases they picked up while working as

prostitutes. Eight defendants were convicted of various charges; On April 27, 2009, ringleader Maximino Mondragon was sentenced to 13 years in federal prison. He was also ordered to pay, jointly with his co-defendants, $1,715,588 in restitution to the victims. He had previously pleaded guilty to conspiracy. On the night he was arrested, he was holding a farewell party for himself, because he knew that the authorities were closing in on him. He had purchased a one-way ticket back to his home in El Salvador. Loretta King, acting assistant attorney general for the Civil Rights Division in Washington, D.C., said that Mondragon "ruthlessly exploited these women's hopes for a better life through coercion, false promises and threats of harm. The victims were forced into modern day slavery." On May 12, 2008, United States District Judge Vanessa D. Gilmore sentenced the ring's chief trafficker, Walter Alexander Corea, to 180 months in prison. Corea had pleaded guilty to conspiracy to hold persons in a condition of peonage and to illegally and knowingly recruiting, harboring and transporting persons for labor and services ["peonage" is a condition of involuntary servitude imposed to extract repayment of a debt]. He also pleaded guilty to conspiracy to bring, harbor and transport known illegal aliens for purposes of commercial advantage and private financial gain. In May 2006, Oscar "Chimino" Mondragon, the operator of the Mi Cabana Sports Bar, pleaded guilty to conspiracy with his brothers, Maximino Mondragon and Victor Omar Lopez, and others to smuggle Central American women and girls into the United States. He had also transmitted death threats to some of his "employees" and their families. On April 28, 2008, Mondragon was sentenced to 180 months in federal prison and ordered pay restitution to the victims. On April 21, 2008, Victor Omar Lopez was sentenced to 109 months in federal prison. In April 2008, Olga Mondragon, was sentenced to 84 months in federal prison. In April 2008, Maria Fuentes was sentenced to 30 months in federal prison. In April 2008, the abortionist for the ring, Lorenza Reyes-Nunez, was convicted of obstruction of justice and was sentenced to 19 months in federal prison. In April 2008, Kerin Silva was convicted of conspiracy to smuggle aliens and sentenced to 12 months home detention followed by three years of probation.

Acting Assistant Attorney General Becker said that "These defendants used false promises and threats of harm to lure and coerce vulnerable women and girls into conditions of forced labor and servitude. The Department of Justice is committed to vigorously prosecuting human trafficking cases such as this one." As always, the leaders of such slavery rings used forced abortions to control their female victims and to help cover up their activities. Sometimes in such cases, the leaders take the women to local abortion mills, which never seem to ask any questions. This particular operation was so large it had its own very busy abortionist, Lorenza Reyes-Nunez, also known as "La Comadre," who forced the women and girls to ingest herbal supplements that induced abortions, often very late in their pregnancies. In one incident, a victim appeared at a Houston hospital and delivered a stillborn baby at six months gestation after the abortionist gave her an abortion pill. Another woman who was forced to take the drugs gave birth to a baby boy with a hole in his heart and vision problems. In August 2006, Reyes-Nunez pleaded guilty to charges of obstruction of justice for encouraging women to destroy evidence. References: Susan Carroll.

Houston Chronicle, April 27, 2009. Rape (2 counts) and Forced Abortions (2 incidents) This is another example of the dozens of cases described in this database where child molesters find that abortion is their best friend. It allows them to erase the physical evidence of their crimes and continue to molest their victims. Abortion mills almost never report such molestation. In fact, prochoice groups routinely battle any attempt to make abortion clinics mandatory reporters so that they would be required to report such molestation.

Harlon Reeves lived in Texas with his two daughters. One of his daughters, a twelve-year-old girl, was mentally challenged and had an equivalent mental age of eight. This girl lived with her mother and her live-in boyfriend, who raped her repeatedly in 1994 and 1995. The girl, named "Jane" in Supreme Court amicus briefs, became pregnant twice. Her rapist took her to an abortion mill in Fort Worth twice, and compelled her to have abortions both times. The abortion mill did not notify either of Jane's parents, nor did its staff inform the authorities that an older man was bringing a twelve-year-old girl to them for an abortion. Before the first abortion, Jane was so scared and traumatized that she vomited outside the clinic in the bushes. Clinic personnel grew suspicious the second time Jane's rapist brought her to them, but, typical of abortuaries, they took the money first, aborted Jane, and waited a while before notifying the authorities. Jane's victimizer was charged with and convicted of two counts of rape and was sentenced to 30 years in prison for his crimes. This pitiful case led to Texas' parental notification law, and Mr. Reeves filed a lawsuit against the abortion mill which had further victimized his daughter.

Aggravated Assault and Death Threat On February 21, 1994, a uniformed security guard at the Planned Parenthood abortion mill pulled a pistol on a sidewalk counselor and threatened his life. The guard also acted as an escort at the mill. Police arrested him. Reference: Report to Rescue America-National, February 28, 1994. Torture and Assault On December 12, 1994, William Burban was brutally assaulted by a police officer. The following is Burban's account of what happened:

Texas - Page 23 -

I went to the death camp of Planned Parenthood at approximately 7 AM to protest the killing of innocent human lives by abortion and RU-486. I set up my signs as usual and began to pray, counsel mothers, and picket. At approximately 8 AM I noticed that the baby shoes were missing from a cross that I usually drape on to symbolize the killing of unborn children ... I was asking residents to sign a petition against the FACE law and against abortion] an off duty COH [City of Houston] Police Officer driving a Southampton Subdivision Security vehicle got out of his vehicle and approached me again and asked the question if I had permission to go door to door. I stated that my permission comes from the First Amendment, and held up the petition for the officer to observe. ... he stated his name was John E. Zitzman. I thanked the off duty officer for his time and turned to go to the home to have them sign the petition when officer Zitzman tackled me from behind and started hitting me with his baton. I went limp and said "What are you doing?" The off-duty officer continued to beat me with his baton. I begged him to stop the beating! It was at this point that he mentioned that he was arresting me. It is important to note that he never mention[ed] anything about me being arrested [earlier]. I received 30 baton blows before I was notified that I was being arrested. It is important to note that not a single hint that I was going to be arrested up to this exact point. The officer called in for backup at this point and I was in handcuffs when the other officers arrived. They started cussing at me and using the Lord's name in vain ... I told them that I wanted a report to be made of the Police Brutality that I have received and they did not answer me and dragged me out and were prodding me with cattle iron rods that burned my flesh. They slammed me against the wall and pulled my hair ... The handcuffs were squeezed so tightly that it burned ... During the pretrial they stated that I attacked Officer Zitzman. A medical report and pictures in the possession of Life Research Institute verifies Burban's many injuries. The victim was charged with resisting arrest. Reference: William Burban, "Violence and Disruption Report," December 9, 1994. Malpractice (145 incidents) and Unlawful Practice of Medicine (8 incidents) The State of Texas was so lax at enforcing its own laws pertaining to the governing of abortion clinics that the abortion mills injured hundreds perhaps thousands of women in their wild rush to rake in as much money as possible. Finally, 145 women who had been injured by Texas abortion mills filed suit against the State, demanding that it make killing their preborn children safer for them, at least. In April 2003, District Court Judge John Coselli, Jr. heard testimony from four women alleging a variety of physical and emotional injuries, including a ruptured uterus, a ruptured colon and sterility, as well as guilt and depression, from abortion procedures at private abortuaries regulated by the state. He ordered mediation to resolve the class-action lawsuit. During mediation, the parties attempted to reach an agreement before an unbiased third party designated by the court. Allen Parker, Chief Executive Officer of the Texas Legal Foundation, which represented the plaintiffs, said that "We're alleging that they do not adequately give women enough information about the nature and consequences of abortion for them to make fully informed and voluntary decisions." The suit also alleged that the state failed to adequately investigate unlicensed abortion mills; failed to adequately inspect and examine licensed abortuaries; failed to cooperate with other state agencies

Texas - Page 24 -

attempting to prosecute illegal activity in abortion mills; failed to prevent the unauthorized practice of medicine by unlicensed individuals in abortion mills; and failed to require abortion clinics to report child abuse that resulted in pregnancy. Of course, pro-abortionists, as they always do, ignored the injured women as if they did not exist. Peter Durkin, CEO of Texas Planned Parenthood, called the case "disingenuous," saying the Texas Department of Health "does a good job with available resources of inspecting on a regular scheduled basis, as well as unannounced inspections of abortion providers of Texas. I think if you look at the motives of these suits, they are intended to increase the barriers to women accessing this service, and their other goal is to increase the cost." Attorneys for the State of Texas asserted that individuals cannot sue a state to make the state enforce its own laws and regulations. In attempting to refute that argument, Parker pointed to a 1989 Texas case in which farmers successfully sued the state Department of Health for failing to enforce regulations designed to protect farm workers. Parker said Instead of protecting women, the state wants to protect itself by having this lawsuit dismissed. The state's attitude has been 'We don't care' or 'It's not my job.' ... If a person was speeding in your neighborhood every day, going 90 miles per hour in front of your house, and you called the police and they didn't do anything, eventually, a judge would order them to enforce the law. We're also asking that the state inform women of the emotional and physical consequences of abortion. It is the taking of the life of a human organism under Texas law, and it has long-term emotional consequences. Parker added that the suit seeks enforcement of the Texas parental notification statute. Two of the plaintiffs, a minor and her mother, say the state never informed the parents that the girl, who was 16 years old at the time, was getting an abortion. According to Parker, the minor said she would never have gone through with the abortion had her parents been notified and is suffering "severe emotional trauma as a result." "I was very upset about what happened to my daughter," said the mother, who wished only to be identified by her initials, L.S. "I found out afterwards, and I was very angry that I wasn't notified." L.S. said the state stonewalled her when she sought specific information on its abortion laws and regulations, particularly parental notification. A private guidance counselor referred her to the Texas Legal Foundation. Her daughter made the decision to have an abortion based on information given to her at the abortion clinic, L.S. said. "They told her that the child could be born with some kind of disorder or retardation and that she would have to take care of it for the rest of her life. She was frightened about what they told her could happen." L.S. said her daughter was "very distraught," complaining that she had "rushed" into the decision and that the clinic had failed to inform her of alternatives to abortion such as child placement or adoption. Her daughter became more withdrawn, L.S. said, until the girl had to be hospitalized for emotional distress. The mother said that "She was crying all the time. I'm very upset that it happened at all. I wish I would have been notified, and I wish they would have given her different options when she went in to get her pregnancy test." Several of the women were injured by abortions performed in abortion clinics by non-licensed personnel, including non-doctors. References: "Texas Women's Botched Abortion Lawsuit Begins Friday."

Death Threats (2 incidents) and Vandalism (2 incidents) On October 12, 1994, at the American Women's Center abortion mill, a father ran his pickup truck over 15 wooden crosses and threatened to kill the pro-lifers there. The next day, a different man did exactly the same thing. Charges were filed against the men in both cases. Reference: National Pro-Life Newsline, October 1994, #17. Assault Pro-life rescuers conducted a "lock-and-block" at the Houston Women's Clinic abortion mill on October 29, 1988. Rescuers at the clinic were locked at their necks or ankles to 55-gallon drums filled with steel and concrete, which weighed over 800 pounds each. A security guard at the abortion mill turned over one barrel and rolled it over Scott Amerson's foot, crushing his ankle. Amerson, who is blind, won a $41,000 judgment from the abortion mill. References: National Pro-Life Newsline, June 1994; June 2, 1994 report to Rescue America. Stalking On October 10, 1994, pro-lifer Mary Daley was stalked and nearly sideswiped by a woman who had her license plate covered. This person then parked in Mildred Hanson's abortion clinic parking lot, which was off-limits to pro-lifers. Reference: Mary Daley, letter to Lynn K. Murphy, December 20, 1994. Menacing On February 21, 1994, at the city's Planned Parenthood abortuary, a uniformed security guard threatened a sidewalk counselor with a gun. The counselor was on the public sidewalk at the time. The security guard was not licensed to carry a gun, and police subsequently arrested him. Reference: National Pro-Life Newsline, February and March 1994.

Lubbock, Texas
Violation of Civil Rights and Assault On August 15, 1997, pro-lifer Judy Kreller was demonstrating at a Lubbock Planned Parenthood clinic. A pro-abortionist called police and claimed that she was suicidal. Without investigating the call in any way, police immediately handcuffed her and took her to a hospital for psychiatric exam. Her

Texas - Page 26 -

subsequent lawsuit stated that "At all times Kreller was obviously in her right mind; displayed no suicidal or homicidal tendencies; was appropriately clothed; and spoke and acted in an appropriate manner." Planned Parenthood denied involvement, and of course, the police had conveniently "forgotten" who made the original claim. In an earlier incident, on April 30, 1998, sidewalk counselor Dorothy Boyett was assaulted by Lisa Hall, manager of the Planned Family Clinic abortion mill in Lubbock. Dorothy had to place a 9-1-1 call for police assistance when officer Glen Stallings, who moonlights as a security guard at the abortuary, and an on-duty police sergeant who was visiting with officer Stallings, refused to write up a report. Earlier Dorothy and Judy Kreller had counseled several members of a family who had gathered in hopes of convincing a young family member to change her mind about having an abortion. Judy offered help to the abortion-bound woman. As the family stood across the street from the clinic in conversation with the young woman, Clinic Manager Lisa Hall and officer Stallings crossed the street. Hall grabbed the expectant mom by the arm and said "You don't have to listen to them, come with us." Judy followed the group pleading with the mom to change her mind. Dorothy was kneeling in prayer on the sidewalk in front of the clinic. As the group approached, she walked toward them and said "Jesus loves you." Lisa Hall responded, "If you don't shut up I'm going to slap you on the head." She then reached out, struck Dorothy on the shoulder, and pushed her off the sidewalk. Rather than file an incident report as Dorothy immediately requested, Officer Stallings told her she was blocking the sidewalk. He and the sergeant stood laughing as she walked to a corner bank to place a 9-1-1 call. Officer Lopez and Sgt. Gregg arrived a few minutes later. They did not interview Lisa Hall. Most of their time was spent in conversation with Officer Stallings. Several witnesses verified Dorothy Boyett and Judy Kreller's account of what happened. One couple who had brought their daughter for an abortion told police, "That woman in the white coat had no right to hit that lady wearing the glasses." Had the situation been reversed, had Dorothy Boyett struck Lisa Hall, Dorothy would be sitting in a jail cell within minutes with FACE charges being drawn up against her. Amazingly, on Tuesday, May 12th, Dorothy was read her rights and informed that criminal charges had been filed against her, despite the fact that she was the person who was assaulted.

Lufkin, Texas
Capital Murder (2 counts) This case vividly demonstrates how truly idiotic and inconsistent the abortion laws are in the United States. A teenager helped his girlfriend abort her preborn twins at her request and he went to prison for life while she was not even charged, because she has a "right" to abortion. On May 6, 2004, Erica Basoria explicitly asked her boyfriend, Gerardo "Jerry" Flores, to help her end her pregnancy because it would interfere with her plans for going to college. While she lay on the floor and punched herself hard in the abdomen, he stepped on her stomach. Her five-month preborn

Texas - Page 27 -

twins died as a result. Basoria said that "When I was four months pregnant, I began to show, and at that time I decided that I should have gotten an abortion." She also told investigators that she had been trying for weeks to kill her babies before she and Flores finally succeeded in doing so. She said "My mom, my sister and my sister-in-law all said that I should get an abortion. They said that I was too young to have children. ... About two weeks before the miscarriage, I started hitting myself. I would do this every other day and I would use both of my fists when I did this. I would hit myself 10 or more times." The defense logically argued that it was impossible to tell which of the two caused the miscarriage, but a jury took four hours to convict Flores of two counts of capital murder. Flores received an automatic life sentence because prosecutors did not seek the death penalty. So, we have arrived at a situation where the same act of murder committed against the same victims can be a heinous act that society must severely punish for one perpetrator, and a legally protected human right for the other. Flores could have been executed for his crime, while Basoria was not in the slightest danger of being charged with even a misdemeanor. Another contradiction in this case is that, if Flores had been a licensed abortionist and had ended the pregnancy another way, he would have been rewarded with a hefty fee. Flores' defense attorney, Ryan Deaton asked reporters "How can two people conspire to do something like this and only one of them be punished? How can that be fair?" Good question. Even Angelina County District Attorney Clyde Herrington agreed, telling media "It doesn't seem entirely fair. It is somewhat startling to me that they completely leave the female out of the criminal penalty I would suspect that in a case of this nature, if the jury or the judge figures that out, then it could have an impact on the punishment. They might go light on him." The co-author of Texas' Unborn Victims of Violence Act said lawmakers never envisioned a case in which the mother of unborn children would ask the children's father to kill them. Representative Ray Allen, R-Grand Prairie, told the media "We didn't consider a case as ridiculous as this. ... I feel sad for these immature, stupid people. But the law is what the law is. You can't legally ask your boyfriend to do a triple bypass on you, even if he's stupid enough to try it. You can't give another person permission to commit an illegal act."

Gross Negligence, Drug Abuse, Medicare Fraud (5 incidents) and Tax Fraud (2 counts) Abortionist John Alderman botched an abortion on Lena A. Renfro. The abortionist told her that she was only 2 weeks pregnant, so she agreed to a D&C abortion. During the procedure, she experienced severe pain, so she went to a nearby hospital and was diagnosed as being 5 months (22 weeks) pregnant. Her preborn baby was born later, and subsequently died due to injuries sustained during the botched abortion attempt. A Texas Medical Board document found that Alderman "self-administered pain medications

including Talwin, nitrous oxide, and Buprenex, taken on a regular basis until November 1985 ... Alderman acknowledged his dependency on Talwin and admitted himself for substance abuse treatment at Clearview Hospital," and was discharged December 22, 1985, diagnosed with "Drug abuse, in remission;" Alderman "self-administered, without a prescription, the medication Valium" around the end of November 1986; "Alderman has engaged in intemperate use of drugs, that in the opinion of the Board, could endanger the lives of patients ... Alderman has engaged in unprofessional or dishonorable conduct that is likely to deceive or defraud the public or injure the public by writing prescriptions or dispensing to himself, as a known habitual user, narcotic drugs, controlled substances or dangerous drugs ... Alderman has shown an inability to practice medicine with reasonable skill and safety to patients ..." The abortionist's medical license was suspended for five years on July 1, 1987. Alderman was sentenced to a year and a day in federal prison for tax evasion and filing false Medicare claims for abortions, for which women had already paid. U.S. District Judge Royal Furgeson also sentenced him to two years of supervised release time and a $200 fine. Alderman paid $125,999 in restitution before his sentencing. As lead abortionist for the Petroplex Gynecological Clinic abortuary, Alderman charged clients $300 in cash and then sent false claims to Medicaid for reimbursement. In all, he filed $25,169 in false claims from 1994 through 1997 and underreported about $119,003 in 1995 and $115,160 in 1996 in income reported to the IRS.

First-Degree Murder, Arson, Grand Theft Auto (GTA), Burglary (2 counts) and Theft "Pro-choicer" Joe Estrada was in a fix. His girlfriend was pregnant, and he didn't have enough money to pay for her abortion and the approximately $1,000 in traffic citations he had accumulated. So he set out to steal some. His neighbor Viola Barrios was an ideal target. She was an elderly lady, 76 years old, and obviously had money because she had founded and owned the Los Barrios and Hacienda de Los Barrios Mexican restaurants in San Antonio. On April 24, 2008, Estrada broke into Violet's home and stole some money, but was unsatisfied with his haul of about $250, so he went back shortly after that armed with a bow and arrow. He claimed that he was startled and that the arrow slipped out of his hand, but his aim was deadly accurate. His arrow struck Violet in the head, killing her. Estrada then tried to cover up his crime by attempting to burn down Violet's home with her inside it. Then he stole Violet's Mercedes and her credit cards and went on a shopping spree. The next day, police arrested Estrada and charged him with murder, stealing Violet's car and credit cards, arson and burglary. On February 18, 2010, a jury found Estrada guilty on all counts, and he was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. References: Craig Kapitan. "2 Sides Rest in Killer's Trial."

[San Antonio, Texas], February 19, 2010. Practicing Medicine Without a License (7 incidents) and Gross Negligence (7 incidents) A news article in the San Antonio Express revealed that the Alamo Women's Clinic abortion mill was investigated by the State of Texas after an employee said at least seven women had their abortions performed by "a marketing specialist and an associate" posing as doctors. Seven women suffered injuries, including a lacerated colon and a perforated uterus. Reference: San Antonio Express, June 14, 1991.

Malpractice (4 incidents) Abortionist Jasbir Ahluwalia has a long history of botching various surgical procedures; He was sued by a husband and wife who alleged that he caused severe and permanent brain damage to their child during delivery. At six years of age, the boy was determined to have the mental functioning of a 4-week-old. Ahluwalia settled the suit in 1989 for more than $1.3 million. In the course of the suit, lawyers for the couple raised questions about the quality of Dr. Ahluwalia's medical training, much of which he received in Uganda. In March 1991, a Dallas woman sued him, accusing him of perforating her uterus during an abortion. As a result, surgeons had to remove her uterus. Also in 1991, another Dallas woman sued him. She, too, said he perforated her uterus during an abortion. Ahluwalia settled both suits in 1993. In 1995, he was sued by an Erath County woman on whom he had performed a hysterectomy. She alleged that he mistakenly blocked a ureter with stitches. So severe were the complications that, four months later, another surgeon had to remove her kidney. Had she known of Dr. Ahluwalia's prior problems, patient Linda Runnels said recently, "I wouldn't have used him for sure." Her suit was settled.

Finally, in 1996, the Medical Board of Texas took action. It acted because Ahluwalia had lost his privileges at Harris Methodist Erath County Hospital. His privileges had been pulled because he "failed to adequately manage various high-risk pregnancies." No mention was made of his previous lawsuits, and the discipline was minimal. Board members voted to require him to take 50 hours of continuing medical education and keep adequate patient records. And he was ordered to subscribe to the journal Obstetrics and Gynecology. Also, the board said, he must actually read it. As of 2008, Ahluwalia still practiced gynecology in Stephenville. References: Doug J. Swanson.

Manslaughter and Assault (2 counts) On March 1, 2007, J.T. Nutt assaulted his pregnant girlfriend, whom authorities declined to identify. She was pregnant with his baby and he did not want to be a father. He hit and kicked her and, when she fell, stamped on her chest and back in an attempt to make her miscarry. Police arrested Nutt and charged him with one count of family violence. But his girlfriend miscarried as a result of his attack, and a Falls County grand jury upgraded the charge to manslaughter, because the state's Prenatal Protection Act authorizes prosecutors to charge attackers with two crimes instead of one when both mother and baby are attacked. This was the first time the three-year-old law was used to charge a criminal in Texas, and it was upheld by a state appeals court in January 2007 as constitutional. Nutt pleaded guilty to a single charge of manslaughter and, on October 26, 2007, was sentenced to ten years in prison. Nutt had a previous conviction for assaulting another woman.

ABC News Channel 25 [Waco, Killeen and Temple, Texas], October 26, 2007. Theft On May 6, 2006, Baylor University's pro-life student organization, Bears for Life, spent all day setting up a display of 3,500 pink and blue flags with signs reading, "In loving memory of 3,500 children aborted daily in the United States." Pro-abortionists at the university couldn't stand having any viewpoint other than their own represented, so, the next evening, they stole all the flags and replaced them with a hand-written sign claiming that "Abortion saves 7,000 adult lives every day." This statement is an even greater exaggeration than the old pro-abortion lie that 5,000 to 10,000 women died of complications due to illegal abortions before Roe v. Wade. In his book Aborting America, Dr. Bernard Nathanson, a founder of the National Association for the Repeal of Abortion Laws (NARAL) and the operator of one of the largest abortion mills in the world, wrote In N.A.R.A.L., we generally emphasized the drama of the individual case, not the mass statistics, but when we spoke of the latter it was always "5,000 to 10,000 deaths a year." I confess that I knew the figures were totally false, and I suppose the others did too if they stopped to think of it. But in the "morality" of our revolution, it was a useful figure, widely accepted, so why go out of our way to correct it with honest statistics? Associate Professor of Economics John Pisciotta, a faculty sponsor of Bears for Life, said "The flags were pink and blue to say they were a little boy and little girl it was very powerful yet respectful. ... We've had over 40 million abortions, and this has influenced the lives of a lot of people.
