Fla. Abortion Foe Jailed in Molestation
Edited on Fri Jul-29-05 07:32 AM by Totally Committed
I am so sick and tired of these smug, self-righteous child predators on the other side, claiming all this moral and ethical superiority over us "Liberals". They just disgust me.

Fla. Abortion Foe Jailed in Molestation

MILTON, Fla. - An activist with ties to anti-abortion violence has been jailed after losing an appeal of his conviction and 18-year prison sentence for molesting a teenager at the home for troubled girls he operated.

Sheriff's deputies took John Burt, 67, into custody Wednesday. A three-judge panel of a state appeals court on Friday unanimously upheld his conviction on five counts of lewd or lascivious molestation or conduct with a child under 16.

Burt has been a key figure in anti-abortion protests and violence in nearby Pensacola. He had associated with Michael Griffin, now serving a life sentence for fatally shooting an abortion doctor in 1993, and Paul Hill, executed in 2003 for the shooting deaths of another doctor and clinic escort in 1994.

The victim testified Burt improperly touched her and wrote a note propositioning her.

1. These anti-choice people seem to always have a hidden agenda
There is Roberts wife who can't have children herself and will never have to make the choice. Yet she opposes other women's rights. It makes you wonder if she wants do away with abortion rights so there will be plenty of babies for her to adopt.

Now this guy who apposes women's rights so there will be plenty of unwanted little girls for him to molest. (The unwanted ones are easier to get at.)

My mother (a former Catholic Nun) always said that the Catholic church opposed birth control and abortion because it would reduce the number of children brought up under Catholic dogma.

I wonder how many people really believe that life begins at conception? Or is it an easy method of promoting something else.

2. They are a bunch of closeted freaks, I swear!
Statistically, at the rate these extremists are being busted for sex crimes and indescretions, you know there are just a slew of these people just under the upper crust on the other side.
