Texas Man Threatened Deadly Force to Stop Abortions
Edited on Tue Apr-06-10 04:03 PM by cali

By JEFF CARLTON


DALLAS -A Texas man faces charges after he filed documents in federal court threatening to use deadly force to stop an abortion if the U.S. Supreme Court didn't immediately act to outlaw the practice, federal officials said Monday.
Erlyndon Joseph "Joey" Lo, 27, of Plano, filed documents there Friday saying his religious beliefs entitled him to use deadly force to prevent an abortion. He listed the name of a clinic, its address and the time he was going to show up — noon that day.
"I plan on saving at least one human life in Dallas, Texas," Lo wrote.
FBI spokesman Mark White said he was unsure if Lo went at that time, but said agents worked with Dallas police "to make sure there wasn't going to be an issue at the clinic." Lo was arrested Saturday.
"We take threats to women's clinics very seriously," White said. "And this threat was very specific in its nature."
Lo is charged with one count of using interstate commerce to communicate a threat to injure and one count of threatening force to intimidate and interfere with clients and employees of a reproductive health service in order to intimidate that facility's clients and employees from obtaining and providing reproductive health services.

4. George Carlin had it right - "If you're pre-born you're fine, if you're pre-school you're fucked!"
