This document is proof positive that the pro-abortion mentality numbs the human conscience. You can print it out and use it during debates and call-in shows, as well as for research purposes.
       It is a list of known murders committed by abortionists and other pro-abortionists. They have tortured, raped and murdered not only their wives and pregnant girlfriends, but also small children and even newborn infants.
       It is very important to note that none of these incidents is a simple crime of passion. They are all carefully planned and premeditated, and every one of them shows a depraved indifference to human life and degenerate joy in human suffering.
       Older people cannot recall instances when men would murder their wives and girlfriends for not getting abortions before it was legal. Pro-abortionists used to complain loudly about the women who died at the hands of illegal abortionists, but they are now completely silent — not only about the women who die at the hands of incompetent legal abortionists but also about the women who are murdered by men who want them to get abortions. More women are being murdered now because they refused abortion than died of illegal abortion. The message is clear: If you are pregnant and want your baby, and your boyfriend or husband is "pro-choice," watch him carefully. Never turn your back on him, because it may be the last thing you ever do.

       This document lists three categories of murders.

(1)

The first type of murder is when "pro-choicers" such as well-known abortionists or famous pro-abortion activists kill women. Some examples;

•

Vocal pro-abortionist Marc Eason, son of abortionist Betty Eason, was sentenced to life imprisonment without possibility of parole for the ax-murders of his roommates.

•

Well-known pro-abortion activist Eileen Orstein Janezic murdered pro-life activist minister and radio talk show host Jerry Simon by shooting him through his living room window "to prove her love for Satan."

•

California abortionist Bruce Steir butchered Sharon Hamptlon and then just allowed her to die.

       Nobody can logically deny that 'pro-choicers' are guilty of murder in these cases.

(2)

The second type of murder occurs when men try to force their wives or girlfriends to have abortions and then, when they refuse, murder them. Not surprisingly, almost all of the cruelist and most grisly murders fall into this category. These murders are the most lethal expression of the "entitlement mentality." Spoiled brats who never really grew up expect their lives to be as free of complications as possible, and expect women to cave in to their demands. When the demand for abortion is not met, they go insane with murderous indignation. It is interesting to note that no pro-abortion group has ever shown the slightest concern for these women, either individually or collectively. The slaughter of pregnant women goes on and on, and that is just fine with them.
       Naturally, abortion-pushers are going to claim that the killers in this category are not "pro-choice," but rather "pro-abortion." This is technically true, of course, but these deaths would not be possible without the free and easy availability of the abortion culture that the "pro-choicers" were pushing in the first place! When abortion was strictly regulated in the United States, a man forcing his wife or girlfriend to have an abortion did happen occasionally, but men killing women because they refused to have an illegal abortion was almost unheard of.
       Interestingly, the murder rate of pregnant women in states with tax-paid free abortions is much higher than in states were women actually have to pay to have their preborn children killed.

(3)

The third category of murder is when murderers kill pregnant women for reasons not directly related to the availability of abortion. Pro-abortionists, of course, will argue that such murders are not committed by "pro-choicers," because abortion was not explicitly involved. Here we see a fundamental fallacy in "pro-choice" logic.
       The National Organization for Women and other pro-abortion groups are fond of saying that pro-lifers don't care about the woman, only the fetus, and that we are all, as they sometimes say, "fetus-fetishists."
       Therefore, by "pro-choice" logic, a pro-lifer would never kill a pregnant woman — not because he cares about the woman's life, but because he does not want to kill the fetus. Plainly, someone who murders an obviously pregnant woman is not pro-life, so they must be pro-abortion.

       Descriptions of the most hideous murders of all are preceded with a skull and crossbones (). These murders are truly repulsive, and those with tender hearts or stomachs really should avoid reading them, because they describe the hideous and pitiful pro-abortion torture, rape and murder of pregnant mothers, many in their last month before delivery.

Murder Category #1: Murders by Abortionists or Well-Known "Pro-Choicers"

BARREIRO:    Abortionist Hipolito Barreiro was charged with manslaughter for the January 1983 death of Shirley Payne. Barreiro had previously killed at least three other women with his "safe and legal" abortions, including Ruth Montero in August 1979; Maura Morales in May 1981; and Marta Baptiste in December 1982 (Florida). BENJAMIN:    Abortionist David Benjamin killed Guadalupe Negron, a mother of four, in July 1993. During the abortion, he lacerated Negron's cervix and punctured her uterus, causing severe bleeding. Then the abortionist abandoned her. Negron's autopsy report attributed her death to massive bleeding causing shock and cardiac arrest. Benjamin was indicted and convicted on murder charges due to "depraved indifference to human life" (New York). BICKHAM:    Abortionist Arnold Bickham aborted Sylvia J. Moore in December 1986, using first-trimester techniques for a second-trimester pregnancy. He lacerated her internal organs so badly that she collapsed. Bickham called her "lazy" and ejected her from his abortion mill. Moore then bled to death. The postmortem report stressed "gross negligence and abandonment on the part of the original treating physician. In consideration of the above, the manner of death is determined to be homicide" (Illinois). BISKIND:    In April 1998, Phoenix abortionist John Biskind aborted Louann Herron's 26-week-old preborn child, then left the abortion mill while she bled to death. In February 2001, a jury found Biskind guilty of manslaughter and clinic administrator Carol Stuart-Schadoff guilty of negligent homicide in the Herron case (Arizona). CARLOS:    Kansas City, Missouri abortionist Lynn D. Weller was shot to death in his home in September 1973 by two masked gunmen who were hired by rival abortionist William Carlos. Carlos was angry that Weller was having an affair with his ex-wife (Missouri). COOPER:    Abortionist Boyd Cooper performed a 23-week abortion on a 2-pound, 2-ounce infant boy, who gasped and attempted to breathe after he was aborted. Cooper made no efforts to revive or help the little one because his parents wanted him dead. So the little baby was placed in a utility room used as an infant morgue. Cooper instructed a nurse, "Leave the baby there — it will die." The nurse testified that the infant was still gasping in the closet when she returned to work 12 hours later (New York). CREAM:    Although he stands in the shadow of Harry Holmes, "America's Arch Fiend," illegal abortionist Thomas Neill Cream also made his bloody mark on Chicago. Cream, who, like many pro-abortionists, despised women, murdered his wife Flora Brooks, aborted and then murdered a young woman in London, Ontario, then moved to Chicago and set up shop as an abortionist. Soon after, one of his botched abortions killed Mary Anne Faulkner and he also killed Ellen Stack by ending her pregnancy with strychnine. He began an adulterous affair with Julia Stott and murdered her husband Daniel when he became suspicious. He fled to Canada, but was sentenced to life imprisonment. He bribed the justice system and was released a decade later, hating women more than ever. He moved to London, England, where he murdered Ellen "Nellie" Donworth, Matilda Clover, Alice Marsh and Emma Shrivell with strychnine. Cream was finally arrested and put on trial for murder and extortion in October of 1892. The jury took only ten minutes to find Cream guilty of multiple counts of murder. He was sentenced to death and was hung on November 16, 1892 (Illinois). DEHENRE:    In April 1998, abortionist Malachi Dehenre, the primary abortionist at the New Woman Medical Center abortion mill in Jackson, Mississippi, murdered his wife, Mysha Rose Dehenre, who worked with him, by shooting her once in the head with a handgun. Dehenre, who had lost his license to practice medicine in New York, Alabama and Mississippi due to bungled abortions, pled not guilty at his first trial in 2002, and the jury's deliberations ended in a mistrial. The prosecution retried Dehenre in 2008 based on new evidence. On January 31, 2008, a Jones County Circuit Court jury unanimously convicted DeHenre of manslaughter after deliberating for just 45 minutes (Mississippi). DRAGIN:    Notorious Chicago abortion mill owner Kenneth "The Creep" Yellen literally died in the gutter after his gangland-style execution in November 1979, from five shots in the head as he walked to work. The primary suspect was Robin Dragin, a professional burglar with mob connections, who organized a Chicago abortion clinic that had been in competition with Yellin's operation. Before abortion was legalized, Dragin was a principal in the operation of an illegal abortion ring in the Northwest suburbs of Chicago (Illinois). EASON:    Marc Eason was a vocal pro-abortionist who worked at the Dadeland abortion clinic in Miami. He was sentenced to life imprisonment without possibility of parole for the ax-murders of his two roommates. Eason claimed the murders were "justifiable homicide" because the roommates had "complained about his sloppiness." He also stabbed his abortionist mother, Betty Eason, in the neck with a steak knife (Florida). EDELIN:    In January of 1975, Boston abortionist Kenneth Edelin aborted a live and viable baby boy and then deliberately smothered him. He was subsequently convicted of manslaughter, but the conviction was overturned because of improper jury instructions (Massachusetts). FRANKLIN:    In February 1980, abortionist James Franklin killed Betty Jane Zellers Damato during a botched criminal abortion and was sentenced to three years for manslaughter (Colorado). FRIEDMAN:    On January 21, 1961, abortionist Mandel M. Friedman killed 23-year-old Vivian Grant of New York City during one of his frequent botched abortions. He tried to cover up his crime by contacting a Queens undertaker and asking him to arrange for her burial. Authorities charged Friedman with homicide and falsifying a death certificate. Unfortunately, Friedman was set free on bail to butcher other women. On September 11, 1962, he fatally botched another abortion on 35-year-old Florida socialite Barbara C. Covington. Being an abortionist with very little imagination, Friedman did exactly the same thing he did before. He claimed that Barbara died of heart disease and tried to get an undertaker to bury her without an inquiry. Again, the undertaker notified police, and again Friedman was arrested and charged with homicide (New York). GANDOTRA:    San Diego abortionist Suresh Gandotra killed Magdalena Orteg Rodrigues during a botched abortion in December 1994. Gandotra fled the country to his homeland of India before authorities could formally charge him with an upgraded charge of murder (California). GRATTON:    Edward Gratton, 34, of London, Ontario, raped 16-year old Glenda Tedball repeatedly, and she became pregnant. When her pregnancy became known, Gratton grabbed Glenda and held her down while her own mother, Norma Poore, forcibly aborted her. Glenda died soon after (Ontario, Canada). GWYNNE:    Abortionist John Gwynne was convicted of the first-degree murder of his nineteen-year-old girlfriend (California). HAMILTON:    Prominent Oklahoma City abortionist John Baxter Hamilton was having an affair with a topless dancer he had aborted, and his wife was considering leaving him. On Valentine's Day 2001, Hamilton choked his wife with a necktie, beat her over the head with a heavy blunt object hard enough to smash a hole in her skull, and then slammed her face repeatedly onto the floor. In December 2001, a jury convicted Hamilton of murdering his wife. Amazingly, pro-abortionists tried to get all charges dropped against Hamilton by sending death threats to at least three news agencies, District Attorney Wes Lane and state witnesses against Hamilton. Even more incredibly, Hamilton's lawyer said that police should be investigating local pro-lifers as suspects in the murder, not the abortionist! (Oklahoma) HANNA:    Abortionist Alicia Ruiz Hanna was convicted in 1994 of second-degree murder after Angela Sanchez, a mother of four, died at Hanna's abortion mill. Hanna tried to stuff Angela's body into the trunk of a car in order to dump her body across the border in Tijuana, Mexico. Hanna was sentenced to 15 years to life in prison for murder (California). HOLMES:    It comes as no surprise that America's first serial killer, known as "America's Arch Fiend," was an abortionist.        When he was a child, Henry Howard Holmes liked to capture neighborhood pets and perform surgical experiments on them, usually while they were still alive. In one case, he captured a neighbor's cat and set it on fire, then watched in amusement as it ran desperately, terrified, until it died in agony.        While a medical student, he perfected the skills he would use during a lifetime of slaughter and murder. He stole numerous corpses and experimented on how to use them to defraud life insurance companies. He would take insurance policies out on fictitious people, then obliterate the features of the corpses he stole with acid and make claims on them.        He was kicked out of medical school, but a widow who owned a drug store hired him as a druggist. After a few months, he committed his first murder by eliminating the widow and taking over the store.        Holmes decided to construct an edifice that would help him satisfy his murderous inclinations. It was a three-story castle-like structure designed to facilitate murder. Some of its features included soundproof torture rooms that locked from the outside, secret passages, dozens of secret peepholes, false floors, rooms equipped with torture devices (including a rack that would stretch a person to twice their original height), greased chutes that emptied into a cellar, and a very large stove and vats of acid for the disposal of complete human bodies.        When his "castle" was complete, Holmes lured young women into it, seduced them, and drugged them. Sometimes he'd fill one of the building's fireproof rooms with flammable gas and incinerate a young woman. He would watch them die horribly, and then slide their bodies down the greased chutes, where large vats of acid awaited them. Then he would sell their bleached skeletons to Chicago-area medical schools.        Julia Connor, the wife of a man Holmes had hired to run a jewelry store on the first floor of his "castle," became pregnant by him. He performed an abortion on her, but botched it horribly. Instead of taking her to a hospital, he murdered her, dissolved her body in acid, and sold her skeleton to a local medical school. He also poisoned her three-year-old daughter Pearl.        Holmes married a third time and then hired an assistant named Herman Pitezel, who planned to enlist Holmes' aid in making him disappear so the two could split the insurance proceeds. Naturally, Holmes smothered Pitezel with chloroform, burned him alive with acid, and kept all the money for himself. He also murdered three of Pitezel's five children, burning one of his young boys alive in a stove.        Eventually, Holmes became careless. He murdered two sisters from Texas and tried to claim the insurance money. Finally, authorities launched an investigation and Holmes left Chicago.        The Pinkertons finally captured him Massachusetts, charging him with multiple counts of murder. On the return trip to Philadelphia, Holmes bragged that he had committed enough crimes in his lifetime to be hanged a dozen times over.        On November 4, 1895, a jury convicted Holmes of the first-degree murder of Herman Pitezel. Members of the jury said afterwards that they had taken only sixty seconds to reach the guilty verdict, but remained sequestered longer "for the sake of appearances." Holmes soon wrote out a long confession for The Philadelphia Inquirer, saying that he was born to be a murderer. It was his life's goal, he said, to become the most notorious murderer the world had even seen. He gave details on 27 murders, including that of Pitezel. Official estimates put the total of his murders at a minimum of fifty and a maximum of two hundred. His "Castle of Horrors" yielded up many grisly secrets, including a pile of human bones in its basement.        He showed no remorse for any of his murders, and, in fact, said that "I was born with the Evil One as my sponsor beside the bed where I was ushered into the world."        On May 7, 1896, Henry Howard Holmes finally died at the hands of the Moyamensing Prison hangman (Illinois). JANEZIC:    In 1993, pro-abortion activist Eileen Orstein Janezic murdered pro-life activist minister and radio talk show host Jerry Simon in Huntsville, Alabama. After killing Simon, she held police at bay with a pistol for six hours while spouting quotes from Anton LaVey's "Satanic Bible." In October 1994, a jury found her guilty of murder, and she was sentenced to life in prison (Alabama). KARMAN:    Harvey Karman of Los Angeles, the developer of the menstrual extraction technique of early abortion, had a three-page police record, including an arrest for murder in the death of an abortion client (California). KETCHUM:    When New York legalized abortion on demand in 1970, abortionist Jesse Ketchum immediately set up shop in a Buffalo motel suite and began performing late-term abortions. Soon after, Ketchum was convicted of criminally negligent homicide after killing Margaret Louise Smith. A pathologist determined that Margaret bled to death from "laceration of the entire length of the cervix, lower segment of the uterus, and the broad ligament" (New York). KLVANA:    In 1989, Los Angeles abortionist Milos Klvana was sentenced to 53 years in prison after being found guilty of the intentional murder of eight newborn babies and the stillbirth of another infant (California). LAUFE:    Abortionist Leonard Laufe aborted the 32-week pregnancy of a woman who falsely claimed that she had been raped. The prostaglandin abortion resulted in the baby being born alive. He then allowed the fully viable baby to die. The entire episode, including closeups of the baby gasping and kicking, was filmed for "educational purposes" (Pennsylvania). LOOPER:    Pro-abortionist Byron Looper, a Monterey, Tennessee county property assessor running against pro-life state Senator Tommy Burks, shot Burks in the left eye with a large-caliber handgun near a pumpkin patch where he planned to take schoolchildren on a hayride that same day. A witness said that Looper told him after the murder that "I did it, man, I did it! I killed that dude!" (Tennessee). MELNICK:    In May 1990, abortionist Joseph Melnick was convicted of allowing a viable and healthy 32-week baby girl, who weighed 3 pounds and 9 ounces, to die by ordering "no care" to be given her after she survived his botched third-trimester abortion attempt. The aborted girl was only 13 years old (Pennsylvania). MONTALVO:    Abortionist Angel Acevado Montalvo killed at least two women during the time period 1984-1988 and was prosecuted for one of the botched abortions. The day after he was found guilty in trial, he was back scheduling illegal abortions for women in Puerto Rico (Puerto Rico). REYNOLDS:    Oklahoma City Abortionist Joe Bills Reynolds performed breast implants, a hysterectomy, and numerous liposuction procedures on his wife. He tried to collect $500,000 on his wife's life insurance after she bled to death after he opened a two-foot long incision in her abdomen, ostensibly for liposuction, on September 7, 1989. Reynolds would not allow paramedics to aid her until he had finished stapling the huge incision. He told his wife's father that she was assisting in surgery and just "fell dead." The abortionist was found guilty of second-degree manslaughter. The punishment the abortionist received for carelessly killing his own wife? A one dollar fine! (Oklahoma). SHERMAN:    Abortionist Robert Sherman killed 16-year-old Carmen Rita McDowell by intentionally performing an incomplete second-trimester abortion upon her in March 1975, so he could collect additional fees. The girl collapsed and was taken to a hospital, where emergency treatment removed a mangled preborn child. She died the next day from a septic abortion. The abortionist was paroled after 22 months in prison. His indictment said that he had a "malicious interest in making more money, cutting his costs and saving his time in disregard for the life and health of his patients." After he was paroled, he began doing abortions again in Massachusetts and Virginia (Washington, D.C.). SHOWERY:    During an April 1984 abortion, Raymond Showery tore Mickey Apodaca's uterus and severed her uterine artery. She hemorrhaged for two hours before Showery would allow her transfer to a nearby hospital. She bled to death during emergency surgery to remove her uterus. The abortionist 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. Showery was convicted and sentenced to 15 years in prison. Showery is an Adolph Hitler aficionado who owns an arsenal of guns and reads voraciously about Hitler. Showery said that "Hitler was one of the most misunderstood men in history. He was really a great man" (Texas). STEIR:    Abortionist Bruce Steir was charged with murder after Sharon Hamptlon bled to death after Steir ignored her perforated uterus during a December 1996 abortion. Showing a callous and total disregard for the safety of women, pro-abortionists raised money for Steir's defense on the Internet, encouraged their friends to put pressure on elected officials and the California Medical Board, and urged the Riverside County prosecutor to drop the charges (California). TAN YEN:    In January 1989, abortionist Connie Tan Yen was charged with infanticide after allowing a third-trimester aborted baby to die of deliberate neglect (Pennsylvania). UNKNOWN ABORTIONIST:    Nurse witnesses testified that an unnamed abortionist from San Vicente Hospital in Los Angeles, aborted a 7-month old preborn baby live. Some time later, he noticed that the baby was still moving, and drowned the little child in a vat of formaldehyde (California). WADDILL:    In March 1977, abortionist William Waddill, Jr. committed a third-trimester abortion saline abortion and delivered alive a viable baby girl, whom he then strangled to death. This was the second time he had been charged with infanticide (California).

Murder Category #2: Women Killed Because They Refused to Abort

ANDERSON:    Ceeatta Stewart-McKinnie was soon to deliver her baby girl, whom she had already named Amarea Kimae. She sang her preborn baby lullabies and had already bought little dresses, sleepers and diapers. Her married boyfriend, Willis E. Anderson, was not as pleased, especially when Ceeatta told him that she would expect child support for the baby. He was worried that his wife would find out and that his comfortable middle-class existence as a state government accountant might be disrupted. So, on April 10, 2002, Anderson met Ceeatta and she got into his car. They drove to a secluded wooded area. She realized she was in danger, and jumped out of the car and tried to run. But she stumbled and lost her shoes and glasses in the pitch black woods. Anderson caught up with her easily and beat her to death by striking her at least 25 times with a heavy hammer. Turkey hunters found her body three days later. A jury convicted Anderson of murder, and he is currently serving a fifty-year sentence (Indiana). BARBEE:    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." 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 (Texas). BENSON:    16-year-old Vanessa Youngbear of Weatherford, Oklahoma, was 7 months pregnant by her boyfriend, Trevor Wayne Benson, who did not want the baby. So Benson and one of his friends took Vanessa for a little ride. They took her to a deserted field, shot her in the head, and pushed her body into a ditch. Police arrested Benson and his friend the next day and charged them both with first-degree murder for the 2002 killing (Oklahoma). BISHOP:    Richard Bishop's ex-girlfriend, Tiffany Watkins, was nearly seven months pregnant, and he was not happy about it at all. So, on March 30, 2004, he awakened Tiffany, saying that he wanted to talk to her about her pregnancy. Then he repeatedly stabbed her in the chest, back and arms. Tiffany was rushed to a hospital, where she lost her viable preborn baby. Bishop was charged with murder and attempted murder for his attack (Indiana). BOYD:    29-year-old Mark Boyd of St. Louis hired Malik J. Nettles to do a little job for him. His 15-year-old girlfriend, Kyunia Taylor, was pregnant with his child, and he did not want the child. So Nettles murdered Kyunia as she rode home on a school bus in February 1996. He boarded the bus and began firing, killing Kyunia and her preborn baby, named Diamond, who was delivered by Caesarean section three months premature. The baby lived for 23 days but died. Nettles also shot the bus driver, Richard Lanman, three times, but he survived. Boyd was arrested after being indicted on murder charges in both deaths (Missouri). BRYANT:    21-year-old Kyle Bryant had slept with 14-year-old Chauntae Jones, and she was eight months pregnant with his child. He knew about the Massachusetts laws regarding statutory rape, and did not want to go to prison. He did not want the baby either. So he got his friend, Lord Hampton, 24, and, sometime in September of 1999, just weeks after she had started eighth grade, they lured her to an abandoned hospital and murdered her. They blindfolded her, raped her, struck her over the head with a blunt object, then stabbed her repeatedly in the neck, abdomen, and back. To compound her horror, she was still alive when they buried her in a pre-dug shallow grave on the former Boston State Hospital property in Mattapan. There is no honor among thieves, and there is even less honor among pro-abortionists and other murderers. Both Bryant and Hampton blamed the other in Chauntae's murder. In April 2004, Kyle Bryant was acquited of all charges despite his confession, which infuriated Chauntae's family and friends. On November 18, 2004, a jury found Lord Hampton guilty of two counts of first-degree murder (Massachusetts). BULLOCK, ERIK:    Erik Bullock of Little Rock, Arkansas, wanted his girlfriend, Shawana Pace to have an abortion. She refused, so he hired three thugs to kick her repeatedly in the belly and kill her full-term preborn baby. Pace pleaded for her baby's life as she was kicked, choked and punched on August 26, 1999. One of the attackers told her "Your baby is dying tonight." Pace had to have her spleen removed, and also suffered a broken left wrist, black eye and bruised face. Bullock and the three thugs were charged with capital murder in the first test of Arkansas' new Fetal Protection Law. A jury convicted Bullock of capital murder (Arkansas). BULLOCK, MATTHEW:    Matthew Bullock strangled his girlfriend to death. She was six months pregnant and he did not want his baby. So he decided to abort both her and her preborn child. He then tied up her body and hid her in a closet (Pennsylvania). CANO:    Gilberto Cano's live-in girlfriend, Martha Isela Moreno, was nearly seven months pregnant, and was looking forward to having her little girl. But Cano was not quite so happy about it, so he decided to abort both her and her preborn child. In April 2002, he stabbed her several times in the abdomen with a long kitchen knife and then strangled her to death. Cano was arrested that night, jailed, and charged with two counts of murder (California). CARRUTH:    Carolina Panthers football player Rae Carruth's girlfriend, Cherica Adams, was eight months pregnant. He did not want to pay child support, and demanded that she have an abortion, but she refused. So he hired a hit man to shoot Adams. Carruth and three accomplices laid a trap, and Carruth helped close it by blocking Adams' car so another man could pull alongside and shoot her. In March 2001, Michael Kennedy pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in Adams' death. The triggerman, Van Brett Watkins, also confessed (North Carolina). CRAIG:    Walter Lee Craig was upset that his young girlfriend, Linda Hyman, was pregnant with his child, so he decided to eliminate her, her family, and all evidence of her pregnancy. In the early morning hours one day in May 1985, he set fire to the crowded boarding house where Linda and her family lived. The fire killed Linda, her sister, and four other tenants. In January 1987, a New Jersey Superior Court jury found Craig guilty of seven counts of manslaughter and one count of arson (New Jersey). CROCKETT:    In an unusual turn of events, abortion was, in this case, the cause of a woman murdering a man. Jonelle Crockett, who was pregnant, was dating businessman Paul Nardone. The baby she was carrying was not Nardone's, but she wanted him to pay to abort the child anyway. Nardone refused to pay for the abortion. So, on August 28, 2004, Crockett shot him, stuffed him into the trunk of his car with the help of her baby's real father, then set the car on fire. She then stole Nardone's credit cards and went on a shopping spree. Crockett then told witnesses that she had killed Nardone because he refused to give her money for an abortion. On September 15, 2004, a grand jury indicted Crockett on capital murder charges (New York). DAVIS, TERRANCE:    Sonya Hayes was just days away from giving birth to a full-term 7-pound boy when her boyfriend, Terrance Davis of Toledo, Ohio, gunned her down in her car as she waited to pick up her 5-year-old son. Davis was wearing a Halloween mask to impede identification, and shot Sonya six times in the belly and upper torso, emptying his revolver. Prosecutors said it was obvious that the shooter was aiming for Sonya's belly in an attempt to kill their unborn child. Davis was charged with three counts of aggravated murder for shooting and killing Hayes and her unborn child (Ohio). DAVIS, WILLIAM:    Matthew Elliott and William Davis of Magnolia, Arkansas, dug a grave for 15-year old Brittni Pater, who was 12 weeks pregnant. Then they lured her into the woods and bludgeoned her repeatedly with a long, heavy metal bar wrapped with heavy tape around one end, as though the person who wielded it wanted to make sure he was able to get a good grip. Then they ran her down with their car and dumped her battered body in an old gravel pit. Elliott immediately bragged to his friends about how he had killed Brittni. Elliott and Davis were both charged with capital murder after giving statements in which Brittni's pregnancy was cited as the reason she was killed. On November 2, 2000, a Columbia County jury found Davis guilty of capital murder for his part in the fatal beating (Arkansas). DECAROLIS:    Elizabeth Kenna was excited about the impending birth of her baby boy, but her live-in boyfriend, Anthony Thomas DeCarolis, was not quite so thrilled. So he shot her to death on May 7, 2006, stole her car and credit cards, and tried to withdraw cash from ATMs in Broward and Collier counties eighteen times over the next two days. DeCarolis was charged with two counts of first-degree murder for killing Elizabeth Kenna and her nearly full-term preborn child. But, like all "pro-choicers," he took the easy way out. He cut a seatbelt out of Elizabeth's car and hanged himself with it in a wooded area near Naples, Florida (Florida). FLORES:    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 goes to prison for life while she is 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 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 (Texas). FOUNTAIN, IRVIN:    In April 2001, Shantay Latrice Wheeler, who was eight months pregnant, was on her way to a baby shower in Troy, but she never arrived. Her married boyfriend, Irvin Fountain, took her to a remote area near Boswells Tavern in Louisa County and shot her at least four times in the head and back. He left her body there to rot. A month after he had killed Shantay, Fountain choked his wife so badly that she was coughing up blood, and then kidnapped her. As he slowed at an intersection, his wife took the opportunity to escape from him, rolling out of the car. Then Fountain turned, accelerated toward her, and struck her with the car. For these offenses, Fountain served nearly three years in prison, a relatively short term since his wife was reluctant to testify against him. On September 7, 2007, a jury found Fountain guilty of first-degree murder and recommended life imprisonment. Testimony revealed that Fountain did not want the child and had wanted Shantay to get an abortion, which she refused to do (Virginia). FOUNTAIN, TONY:    Ex-convict Tony Fountain had an affair with 17-year-old Chavanna Prather, a high school junior, and she became pregnant by him. He did not want the baby, and, in April 2001, he shot Chavanna in the stomach, abdomen and hand, then strangled her and repeatedly stabbed her in a crime so vicious that it shocked even hardened investigators. Fountain was charged with first-degree murder and the intentional killing of an unborn child (Illinois). GATSON:    Dameon Gatson already had a three-year-old child with another woman, and his current girlfriend was six months pregnant with his child. He definitely did not want another child, and so he hired a hit man to use force to abort his girlfriend, since she did not want to get an abortion. So he offered his roommate, Paul Petersen, $200 to assault his girlfriend. On April 21, 2007, Peterson punched her hard several times in the stomach and fled the scene. She went into labor and delivered her baby the next day. The baby girl, who she named Destiny, only lived for nine days and died May 1, 2007 after doctors took her off life support. Gatson then paid Peterson only $40, and blamed him for the entire episode. On May 2, 2007, both Gatson and Peterson were charged with second-degree murder and first-degree assault (Minnesota). GLADDEN:    Tyrone Raynard Gladden's ex-girlfriend, Tara Chambers, was pregnant with his child, and he was not happy about the situation at all. He had previously forced Tara to have three abortions, but this time she stood firm and refused to kill their preborn child. So Gladden began to look for a hit man to kill Tara and her preborn child. He said that he would pay $10,000 to someone to "get rid of" Tara, saying he couldn't afford child support. After asking twenty different people if they would kill Tara, Gladden finally hired Melvin Anthony West to kill Tara Chambers. West went to Tara's home in Concord in June 2002 and murdered her. Her preborn daughter, whom she had already named T'Kaiya, was born before Tara died, but died a month after her mother did. Gladden was charged with two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of solicitation to commit first-degree murder. He was also charged with three other counts of solicitation to commit murder and one count of conspiracy to commit murder (North Carolina). GLASS:    Michael Antonio Glass and his girlfriend already had three children, and he did not want any more. So when she became pregnant again, he demanded that she have an abortion. She refused, so, on June 7, 2002, he beat her savagely, concentrating his assault on her abdomen. She managed to escape and fled to a battered women's shelter. As a result of his attack, her preborn twin babies were delivered stillborn. Glass was charged with aggravated assault, two counts of felony feticide, and three counts of cruelty to children in the second degree because the assault took place in front of the couple's three children (Georgia). GLINTON:    Roscoe Glinton was a very busy "pro-choicer." He was a married father of four whose wife had recently given birth. He also had five children by three other women and was sinking deeper and deeper into debt. One of his girlfriends, Lisa Eatmon, was eight months pregnant with a healthy 6½-pound baby boy she had already named Jayden. She had refused his repeated demands to have an abortion. Glinton wanted to avoid the complications and embarrassment that were sure to come if his baby were born. So he took care of the problem in the most direct way possible. At about 4 in the morning of April 3, 2005, he shot Lisa in the head and dumped her body in the Hudson River. On October 25, 2006, a Manhattan jury deliberated less than two hours before convicting Glinton of second-degree murder. This was not the first time that Glinton had come under suspicion for murder. In 1998, his first wife, Deborah, vanished, and her remains were found three years later near the New York Thruway. In her diary, Deborah had mentioned that Glinton had tried to throw a running hair dryer into the bathtub while she was bathing (New York). GOINS:    Christopher Goins was twenty years old, and Tamika Jones, who was only fourteen years old, was seven months pregnant with his child. He did not want to be a father to Tamika's baby, and he had threatened to kill the entire family because he was upset that Tamika was pregnant by him. On October 14, 1994, Goins carried out his murderous threats. He entered the home of Tamika's parents and went on one of Virginia's worst murder sprees. Using a heavy .45 caliber Glock pistol, he murdered Tamika's parents, James Nathaniel Randolph and Daphne Jones, her nine-year-old sister Nicole, her four-year-old brother David, and her three-year-old brother Robert, by shooting them all at least once in the head. He concluded his killing spree by shooting Tamika nine times, including three times in the stomach. One of these bullets pierced the head of Tamika's preborn daughter, killing her. Finally, he shot Tamika's 21-month-old sister Kenya, who also survived. A jury convicted Goins of capital murder and four counts of first degree murder, and sentenced him to death. The State of Virginia executed Christopher Cornelius Goins by lethal injection on December 6, 2000. His final words were "There's no God but Allah" (Virginia). GRAYER:    37-year-old Curtis Grayer Jr. was raping his ten-year-old stepdaughter on a regular basis. She unexpectedly became pregnant by him, which presented him with a problem. He couldn't take her to an abortion mill, because obvious questions would be raised. So he tried to abort her himself by stomping on her stomach and tying belts around her abdomen so tightly she couldn't breathe. But these attempts at abortion were unsuccessful. So, after she delivered the baby boy she named Kevin at his home in October of 2002, he performed a "fourth-trimester abortion" on the little boy, killing him. Police arrested Grayer and charged him with murder, aggravated sexual battery, rape, child molestation and cruelty to children in denying medical care to both the infant and his stepdaughter. On November 10, 2005, a jury found Grayer guilty of murder, rape, and several other charges and sentenced him to life in prison (Georgia). GREGG:    Raymond Gregg's live-in girlfriend, Angela Russell, was pregnant, and he was not happy about it. So he solved his "problem" in the most direct manner possible. He admitted to police that he killed Angela, and then buried her body in woods off Statem Gap Road in Hamblen County. In October 2003, Gregg pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and was given the maximum possible sentence, 25 years in prison without parole (Tennessee). HARPER:    Casino security guard Cordell Harper told his 16-year-old girlfriend, Helen Croudy, who was a high school junior, to take a pregnancy test. He had wanted her to have an abortion if she was pregnant, but she had replied that she could never do such a thing. He boasted to a co-worker about how he murdered Helen: "I choked her. It didn't work. I beat her with a hammer but it broke. So I beat her with rocks and dragged her body to the end of a jetty and I'm going to get away with it," he boasted to a co-worker. An autopsy found that Helen's skull had been crushed by a ball-peen hammer, and that many of her teeth had been broken out. Helen was still alive when Harper left her to die in a crevice on an icy cold Atlantic City jetty New Year's Day, 2002. He was charged with one count of first-degree murder and, on May 27, 2003, Harper pled guilty to the murder and weapons charges (New Jersey). HAWKINS:    Leah Hawkins of Lamar, Kansas, testified that her husband Jason beat her with a log from a woodpile while she was pregnant and after she refused to have an abortion. Her 10-month-old daughter witnessed the beating. Her son was born three months premature as a result of the beating and died December 26, 1999, at a Kansas City hospital. Jason Hawkins was charged with second-degree murder (Missouri). HAYES:    Conroy James Hayes was a typical pro-abortion "user." He only had a relationship with a person if he could extract something out of that person, and he gave absolutely nothing back. He was a drug dealer and had a violent nature, as many people could and did testify. He had at least five children by several different women, and lived off them basically as a parasite. He beat his girlfriends, stole money from them, and abused them horribly. He was so cruel, he even poisoned the goldfish of one of his girlfriend's young children just for fun. Hayes ordered one of his many girlfriends, Rochelle Mackey, to have an abortion. She refused and kicked him out of the house. He returned on July 11, 2005, and shot Rochelle in the chest, killing her. Then he urinated on his hands to remove any gun residue left on them and claimed that Rochelle had committed suicide. A jury did not buy his story, and convicted Hayes of first-degree murder (California). HENRY:    Pro-abortionist Eric Henry had a problem on his hands. His girlfriend was pregnant and he wanted her to have an abortion, but he had no money to pay for it. So, on December 13, 2007, he asked his step-grandmother, Anne Gordon, the popular pastor of St. Anne's Cathedral Holy Church of Deliverance, for the money. She refused to give it to him. So Henry beat the elderly woman, duct-taped a plastic bag over her head so that she could not breathe, then used the tape to bind her hands and feet so she could not remove the bag. Then he piled rugs on top of her body. As he was binding her, she asked God to forgive him for what he was doing to her. Then she suffocated to death. The State of Wisconsin filed a charge of first-degree intentional homicide against Henry (Wisconsin). HERNANDEZ, JESUS:    Aletheia Kikugawa was 15 weeks pregnant and looking forward to having her first child. But her live-in boyfriend, Jesus Francisco Hernandez, was apparently not too happy with the situation. On January 9, 2007, Hernandez stabbed Aletheia to death, then went for a drive in her car still wearing the bloodstained clothes he was wearing when he murdered her. Hernandez was subsequently arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Aletheia and her preborn baby under Oklahoma's new Unborn Victims of Violence Act (Oklahoma). HERNANDEZ, RICHARD:    In 2004, Richard Daniel Hernandez murdered his girlfriend America Gonzalez because she was four months pregnant with another man's child. He used a sawed-off, 12-gauge shotgun to shoot her several times as she sat in the back seat of a friend's car in an isolated spot near the town of Del Rey, California. Then the friend, Daniel Archan Jr., and Hernandez pulled America from the back seat of the car and dumped her body in a vineyard and then burned the car. In 2006, a Fresno County jury convicted Hernandez of two counts of murder (California). HERRERA:    Carlos Herrera and Brenda Chavez were having an affair, and Chavez became pregnant. Herrera did not want the child, so he solved the problem in the most efficient way possible. In February 2001, Herrera and Chavez met for one of their late-afternoon trysts at the Southern Ute Sand and Gravel pit. Herrera beat Chavez to death and disposed of her body and vehicle by running the vehicle off a steep embankment into a grove of trees (Colorado). HILL:    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 great example of this principle is Ronald M. Hill, who was married and had four children at home, but was carrying on an affair with Ingrid Smith, who was only fifteen years old. On March 15, 2005, he forced Ingrid to take a home pregnancy test, and when it turned out to be positive, he ordered her to have an abortion. When she refused, he murdered her. Hill did not help his defense 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. On March 1, 2006, Hill pleaded guilty to murder and was sentenced to life in prison (Texas). HOHBERGER:    Henry C. Hohberger III of Philadelphia found out that his pregnant girlfriend, Diane Grant, was carrying a baby girl, and he was upset about this because, as he told a maternity nurse, "I already have a daughter. ... It's supposed to be a damn boy." He also did not feel like paying child support, so he repeatedly tried to get Diane to have an abortion, but she refused every time. In November 2001, when the baby girl — named Nicole — was just seven weeks old, Hohberger beat and shook his little girl so severely that she suffered skull and rib fractures, and died five days later. Among Nicole's injuries were four broken ribs that were healing. The little baby girl also had eleven newly broken ribs, two fractures to her skull, and multiple hemorrhages to her head and eyes, the coroner's report stated. In November 2001, Hohberger was charged with capital murder and criminal homicide (Pennsylvania). HOLLIMAN:    High school student Tanika Fox of Greensboro, North Carolina, was pregnant by her boyfriend Shawn Kristopher Holliman. He did not want to be a father, and demanded she get an abortion. She refused. So, on December 14, 1999, he shot her twice in the head at point-blank range. He was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison. In 2000, the students at Tanika's high school dedicated their yearbook in her name (North Carolina). HUDSON:    Deondre Terrell Hudson's girlfriend, Quinnisha R. Thomas, was eight months pregnant with his daughter, and he was very unhappy about it. So, on January 13, 2003, Thomas shot her in the back of the head as she took a shortcut through a fence to a Greenhaven neighborhood supermarket to buy some chips. Hudson and his two friends removed her body and dumped her into the trunk of a car. They were very careful to wrap her head in plastic garbage bags so her blood would not stain their car. Then they drove her to a nearby park and dumped her body into some bushes. Deputy District Attorney Mark Curry said "That is pretty cold. That is as cold as it gets and that tells you what's up with this guy. He is a coldblooded killer." Testimony showed that Hudson wanted Quinnisha and her baby dead because he viewed them as an "irritant" that would "jeopardize his future" as a rap music star. Hudson confessed, and a jury found him guilty of two counts of first-degree murder (California). JOHNSON, COLEMAN:    Tammy Lynn Baker of Charlottesville, Virginia, was eight months pregnant by her boyfriend, Coleman L. "Mike" Johnson Jr. The only problem was that he did not want the baby to be born. He had demanded that Tammy Lynn have an abortion, but she had refused. So he planted a pipe bomb on the sidewalk outside Tammy Lynn's apartment. She picked it up, it exploded, and both she and her near-term preborn baby were killed instantly. In May 2001, Johnson was convicted of capital murder (Virginia). JOHNSON, RICHARD:    Deborah Denise Randall was eight months pregnant by her boyfriend Richard Johnson and was happily awaiting the birth of her child. The only problem was a major one — Johnson was 18 years older than her and did not want his baby. He beat her up repeatedly, at one point squeezing her as hard as he could to induce miscarriage. When repeated beatings did not cause her to lose her baby, he emptied his pistol into her, firing bullets into her head, neck and chest (Virginia). KUPAZA:    In 1997, Peter Kupaza raped his cousin, Mwenvano Mwambashi Kupaza, then forced her to have an abortion when she became pregnant. Peter Kupaza claimed that Mwenvano had returned to her home in Tanzania, so that's where her friends thought she was, while her family in Tanzania thought that she was still living in Madison. On July 31, 1999, a woman and her children found a female torso and several garbage bags filled with body parts. The face, head and neck had been skinned, and the feet were missing. Peter Kupaza was arrested and charged with Mwenvano's murder. Peter Kupaza's former wife testified about how people in Tanzania often butcher their own livestock, and are therefore skilled with the use of knives. Kupaza was convicted of first-degree murder (Wisconsin). LAGRONE:    Pro-abortionist Edward Lewis LaGrone had repeatedly molested ten-year-old Shakeisha Lloyd, 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. She did not get the abortion, so LaGrone decided to abort not only the preborn baby, but Shakeisha's entire family. LaGrone went to Shakeisha's home and shot her uncle. Then he opened fire on two elderly women, Zenobia Anderson, 83, and Caola Lloyd, 76, who was blind and bedridden with 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. LaGrone was convicted of multiple counts of capital murder and was sentenced to death (Texas). MARSHALL:    Tjane Charmeise Marshall's girlfriend, Shameka Fludd, was already the mother of two children, and was four to five months pregnant with his child. Marshall did not want his baby. He said that the unborn child would "ruin his life" and that "he was going to do something about it." He certainly followed up on his threat. In May 2003, Marshall borrowed a rental car from a friend, drove to Fludd's apartment, where he shot her in the head, killing her instantly (Maryland). MCBEATH:    Roger Lee McBeath killed his former girlfriend, Ashley Lyons, who was 5½ months pregnant with a preborn baby boy she had already named Landon. He shot her in the head three times with a handgun to make absolutely sure she was dead. Ashley kept a journal for her little boy. On October 31, 2003, she wrote "Your father wanted me to have an abortion. Your father told me he was going to commit suicide, that you would ruin his life." McBeath was charged with first-degree murder (Kentucky). MESHACK:    Teshibra Bell, who was only 15 years old, met a man at a convenience store in Southern Dallas. The man, pro-abortionist Shannon Meshack, was 25 years old. She eventually began to have sex with him. 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 (Texas). MILLER:    David Lee Miller was married, but that didn't stop him from having a girlfriend on the side. Elizabeth Walters was seven months pregnant by Miller. She had already named her preborn baby girl and was looking forward to her baby shower just the next week. Miller had repeatedly tried to pressure her to have an abortion, but she had refused every time. Elizabeth was sitting in a parked car with her friend Heather Joy Lowe on June 11, 2007. Miller got into the car and shot both women, killing Elizabeth and wounding Heather. Miller became the first person charged under Maryland's new fetal homicide law, and he was arraigned on charges of two counts of first-degree murder, attempted murder, first-degree assault, and two counts of the use of a handgun in the commission of a felony (Maryland). MINERD:    In January 1999, Joseph P. Minerd firebombed Deana Mitts' Connellsville townhouse, which killed Mitts, her 3-year-old daughter Kayla, and her unborn child. He did this since co-workers refused to help him use a stun gun to shock Deana into a miscarriage of his child. Witnesses heard Deana screaming in agony after the explosion, and saw her engulfed in flames "like a human torch." Three-year-old Kayla was so badly burned in the fire that her bones fractured from the heat. United States District Attorney Leo Dillon said "It's hard to imagine more anguish than Deana and Kayla Mitts endured before they died." Minerd was sentenced to life in prison for the murders and was prosecuted under the same law used to convict Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh (Pennsylvania). O'LEARY:    Anthony C. O'Leary's girlfriend, Treasure Genaw, was just a week away from graduating from high school. She was also twelve weeks pregnant with his child. They were parked in her car on a dirt road, where he stabbed her to death and left her body. O'Leary was arrested on June 7, 2004, after a long car chase in Massachusetts, and a grand jury subsequently indicted him for first-degree murder in the killing. He confessed to the killing. When he was arrested, O'Leary was covered in Treasure's blood. Police found blood-soaked abortion clinic advertising pamphlets in the car (New Hampshire). PANIAGUA:    In 2005, Rodrigo Ortiz Paniagua stabbed his girlfriend, Leticia Chavez, who was about five months pregnant, three times in the stomach, deliberately targeting their preborn child. Then he stabbed their little daughters, cutting the throat of six-year-old Adrina, and killing three-year-old Analisa. Then he methodically set their Palo Alto house on fire and sat down on the curb outside the home and lit up a cigarette. Paniagua confessed to his crimes and was charged with four counts of murder and one count of arson (California). PARR:    LaMarr Parr of Massillon, Ohio, was charged with the September 16, 2000 fatal stabbing of his ex-girlfriend, Jean K. Toles, and the killing of her 2½-month-old preborn child. She wanted the baby and he wanted her to get an abortion. After he killed her, Parr dumped her body in a ditch (Ohio). PECK:    In October 1995, Joseph Peck beat and murdered his 25-year-old wife Jennifer, who was four months pregnant, because she refused to have an abortion. He stuffed her body into the trunk of her car at the Clique Lounge on North Dale Mabry. Homicide detective Greg Stout said that "We believe that because his wife had become pregnant and would not get an abortion, that he began making threats to her." He was indicted on first-degree murder charges by a Hillsborough County grand jury (Florida). PIERRE:    Emmanuel Pierre's girlfriend, Sandra Bonaventure, was a 21-year-old sophomore at the State University of New York in New Paltz. She was also seven months pregnant. He did not want the baby, but she did. So, to resolve this disagreement in the most permanent way possible, on June 25, 2005, Pierre strangled Sandra and stuffed her body into a tightly knotted garbage bag. During Pierre's trial, Joshua Cayenne, one of his fraternity brothers, said that he wanted Sandra to get an abortion, and that the baby was "gonna ruin his life." Cayenne had helped Pierre dispose of Sandra's body, and stole her credit cards after the deed was done. In April, a jury convicted Pierre of second-degree murder and, on May 12, 2005, State Supreme Court Justice James Yates sentenced Pierre to 25 years to life in prison. Assistant District Attorney David Drucker said in his opening statement that "He wanted her to have an abortion. She thought about it and decided against it." Justice Yates said to Pierre, "One thing I'm taking as a fact is that you did intentionally kill her. ... This is one of the most unforgivable crimes that have come before me in 13 years on the bench" (New York). PLOURDE:    Roxanne Fernando, affectionately known to her friends as "Apple," was pregnant and thought that she was going to exchange gifts with her "pro-choice" boyfriend on February 15, 2007. He had demanded that she have an abortion, but she refused, and she probably thought that the whole episode had blown over. This mistake killed her. Her boyfriend and a teenager he had hired to kill Roxanne took her to a remote park, beat her with a large wrench about twenty times, bound her with tape, wrapped her in a blanket, and stuffed her in the trunk of the car. But then the killers heard movement and moaning from the trunk. The two men picked up a third man and paid him $120, stolen from Roxanne's purse, to help murder her. The three then drove to another remote area, dragged Roxanne out of the trunk and dumped her on the ground, then beat her to death with a hockey stick. On October 23, 2007, the first of the killers, a 17-year-old boy whose name was not revealed due to his age, was sentenced to six years in prison and four years on probation for the brutal murder (Manitoba). POACHES:    On July 18, 2005, after they had gone to a prenatal examination earlier in the day, Stephen Poaches demanded that his girlfriend, Latoyia Figueroa, who was five months pregnant, have an abortion. She refused, so he used his bare hands to strangle her to death. He then dumped her body beside train tracks in a wooded area in Chester, Pennsylvania. Poaches confessed to murdering Latoyia, and was charged with two counts of first-degree murder on August 15, 2005. He admitted that he had killed her because she would not abort their child. He confessed that he strangled her in a rage when she said that she was pro-life and did not believe in abortion. On October 17, 2006, in a nonjury trial, Common Pleas Judge M. Teresa Sarmina found Poaches guilty of two counts of first-degree murder. He will spend the rest of his life in prison (Pennsylvania). PONDER:    Jerold L. Ponder and Zaneta Browne were carrying on an affair, and Browne was 14 to 15 weeks pregnant with boy and girl twins by Ponder. Ponder urged Browne to get an abortion, but she refused. So, on July 14, 2002, Ponder and his wife Keya shot Browne, a 29-year-old Rochester mother of three, in the face and back of the head on land owned by Jerold Ponder's family in rural Orleans County (New York). PRICE:    Kerria Anderson was eight months pregnant by her boyfriend Alfonso "Lil Al" Price, who demanded that she have an abortion. Kerria, however, refused because she was looking very much forward to having her little girl, whom she had already named "Precious." On July 12, 2007, Price and two of his friends attacked Kerria, punching her in the face, knocking her to the ground, and stomping on her stomach in an attempt to kill her preborn child. Price screamed at her "Bitch, you should have got an abortion, now your baby is going to die." Then Price and his friends dragged her behind a building and continue to beat her and stamp on her stomach. Then the cowardly attackers fled and went into hiding. Kerria recovered from her injuries but her preborn baby died from a fractured skull as a result of the attack. Precious had also suffered many other broken bones. Kerria's mother Angela said "She [Precious] was just all broken up." Price, who already had a long police record, was caught two weeks after the murder and was charged with aggravated murder and felonious assault. 17-year-old Jebrell Wright, one of the other attackers, was charged with the same felonies (Ohio). RINGER:    Tony Ringer's girlfriend, Cassandra Betts, was pregnant by him, and he did not want the baby because he wanted to marry another woman. So, in December 2000, he shot her in the head as she sat in her car, killing her and her 6-week old preborn child, with Betts' seven-year-old daughter watching from the back seat. Ringer pleaded guilty to two counts of voluntary manslaughter (Ohio). ROBINSON:    38-year old Kevin Robinson repeatedly stabbed and killed 15-year-old Daphne Sulk in November 1997 because he had gotten her pregnant, and she refused to get an abortion. Authorities found Sulk's frozen body at a highway rest stop. In December 1998, Robinson was convicted of murder (Wyoming). ROSS:    On June 13, 2006, Karesse Ebron met her much older boyfriend, 22-year-old Ryan Ross. Ross drove her to an isolated area near Levy Park, where she told him that she was pregnant with his child. He asked her to have an abortion, but she refused. He reacted to her refusal by beating her to death with a baseball bat. He hit her at least four times on the head and told police that he did not want her to have his baby. An autopsy showed that Karesse died from multiple fractures to her skull and face. He confessed his crime to Spring Valley and Ramapo police and directed them to Karesse's body, which was buried under leaves in the woods near Eugene Levy Memorial Park. Ross pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and, on March 1, 2007, he was sentenced to 22 years to life in prison (New York). ROWE:    We naturally expect despicable, murderous and dishonorable behavior from "pro-choicers" in general, but it doesn't get any lower than this. What kind of pro-abort scumbag would blame his own mother for the murders he committed?        Gregory Rowe, that's who.        Rowe lived with his girlfriend, Kristin Fisher, and their seven-month-old daughter Kaylee in their home in Greentown, Pennsylvania. Kristin was pregnant by him again, and he repeatedly demanded that she have an abortion because he did not want to have to pay child support, but she refused, saying that she was pro-life. So he decided to take care of things his way — the "pro-choice" way — by killing those who inconvenienced him.        First, he drew a bath. Then he took the little girl and held her under the water until she stopped struggling, drowning her. Then he knocked Kristin unconscious and hanged her. After the murders, his mother helped him set up the scene to make it look as if Kristin had drowned her little daughter and then committed suicide.        In January 2006, a jury found Rowe guilty of two counts of first-degree murder, and he was imprisoned for life without the possibility of parole.        Rowe appealed his verdict, blaming his own mother for the killings. Perhaps we shouldn't be too hard on Rowe, because he apparently absorbed his values and his techniques from his mother, who murdered her ex-boyfriend not long after Rowe had murdered Kristin and her baby girl (Pennsylvania). ROYSTER:    Roselyn Dethrow was five months pregnant with Ricky Royster's child. She was ten years older than him, he was dating other women, and he was not happy about her pregnancy. So he decided to solve the problem his way. Royster demanded that Roselyn have an abortion, but, when she refused, he tried to make her miscarry by kicking her in the stomach and poisoning her. On October 8, 2002, he suffocated Roselyn with a pillow in his apartment. Then he and one of his former girlfriends disposed of Roselyn's body. They took her to a nearby park, removed her pants and underwear to make it look as if she had been raped, and mutilated her body by slashing her throat from ear to ear and cutting her chest and right thigh, hoping to make the murder look like a random attack. During Royster's trial, Assistant District Attorney Jennifer Martin described his motivation — that he just didn't want a child to interfere with his bachelor lifestyle, so he decided to abort both mother and baby. "A baby would mean less freedom and less money for himself," she said. A jury found Royster guilty of first-degree murder (North Carolina). SANDERS:    James L. Sanders and 15-year-old Elaine Sepulveda were expecting a baby, and Sanders was not at all happy about it. On the night of November 6, 2004, he met with her "to talk about it." There was apparently a disagreement over Elaine's pregnancy, because Sanders, as he confessed to police, hit her in the head and then could not revive her. Then he buried her body in the compost pile behind his grandfather's home in Oak Harbor. Sanders had wanted Elaine to have an abortion, but she had repeatedly refused to kill her preborn child. Jacki Madison, Elain'e best friend, said that "I don't think he was ready for the child and she was, and it was a rift that happened between them" (Washington State). SCHIOVONE:    Police found 26-year-old Susan Ambrosino's body in the trunk of her car on February 22, 2005, in Queens, with a single gunshot wound to her head. Two days later, police announced a motive for the murder. Susan was Schiovone's brother's ex-wife and was four months pregnant with his child. Schiovone simply shot her one time in the side of the head to prevent her from revealing this fact. Susan's brother, Anthony Napolitano, and other relatives confirmed that Schiovone had repeatedly demanded that Susan abort their child. She had said that she was pro-life and refused, and so he murdered her. Napolitano said that "She had a love for life and even more love for children. We believe it was this love of life, of her refusal to get an abortion, that compelled her killer to shoot her" (New York). SCHLAGER:    Damien Michael Schlager was committing adultery with Christina Joyce Colon, and she was five months pregnant with his child. He was growing desperate and did not want his wife to find out about his philandering, so, on July 21, 2004, he shot Christina once in the back of the head, execution style, and dumped her near a quarry, where her severely decomposed body was found eight days later. Schlager confessed to the murder, and a jury found him guilty of two counts of first-degree murder (Pennsylvania). SELF:    47-year-old Daniel Garrison Self was a drug pusher and supplied heroin to his girlfriend Leah Kathleen Gee, who was half his age. She was also seven months pregnant with another man's child. Several times, Self had punched and kicked her in the abdomen in attempts to make her miscarry, and had threatened to kill her. On March 27, 2003, Self made good on his threats. He shot Leah in the head, and she died two days later. Doctors delivered her son Jeremiah by Caesarean section, but he died two weeks later because of oxygen deprivation caused by his mother's death. On June 11, 2004, a jury convicted Self of first-degree murder, and he was sentenced to an automatic term of life in prison (Colorado). SMITH, ALFRED:    A jury found pro-abortionist Alfred E. Smith guilty of second-degree murder in the death of his ex-girlfriend Denna Moody. Smith killed Moody in April 1997 because she refused to abort their preborn child. Her charred body was found in her burned car near the Van Nuys Amtrak station (California). SMITH, NATHANIEL:    Nathaniel Dee Smith killed his 21-week pregnant girlfriend Lorena Rivera because she refused to have an abortion and he didn't want to pay child support. He beat her and shot her twice, then buried her body in a garbage bag in a shallow grave. Smith was charged with first-degree murder in Rivera's death and manslaughter in the death of their unborn child. He was convicted and sentenced to life in prison (Oklahoma). STEELE:    Sean Steele had impregnated his 15-year old girlfriend, Barbara Watkins, and she was seven months pregnant. Steele pressured her to have an abortion, but she refused. So Steele told Barbara that they were going to buy baby clothes. Instead, he lured her to a wooded area, smashed her with a rock, stabbed her repeatedly with a broken beer bottle, and finally strangled her and left her body in the woods. He confessed to the killing after construction workers found Watkins' decomposed body in a wooded ravine (Ohio). STEWART:    On September 26, 2007, Andre Stewart and his pregnant girlfriend Vernell Macon were arguing about who was the father of her unborn baby girl, whom she was just four weeks away from delivering. Stewart placed a sawed-off shotgun against Vernell's abdomen and pulled the trigger, instantly killing her preborn child. Steward later confessed to shooting Vernell. Stewart was charged with first-degree murder, first-degree assault, and two counts of armed criminal action (Missouri). STUART:    Jerry Lynn Stuart and his live-in girlfriend, April Renee Greer, were expecting a baby. In fact, April was eight and a half months pregnant, and just days away from delivering her child. But Stuart did not want the child. So he solved his problem by beating April to death, chopping up her body, and stuffing the pieces of her and her near-term preborn baby into a trash can sealed with duct tape (North Carolina). TARVER:    Paul A. Tarver II's girlfriend, Keisha Lewis, was three months pregnant with his preborn child, which he did not want. So he hired a gunman to shoot Keisha dead. The gunman deliberately aimed for Keisha's abdoment, but failed to kill her, although her preborn baby died in the attack. In July 2002, Tarver was indicted by a grand jury and was charged with complicity to commit aggravated murder. The gunman was charged with aggravated murder (Ohio). TAYLOR:    Her relatives described 17-year-old Tyeshia Davis, a Las Vegas High School student, as smart and outgoing. The only trouble was that she was eight months pregnant by an older man, and he did not want the baby. Tyeshia, however, was looking forward to giving birth, and planned on becoming a nurse. In July 1995, her older boyfriend, Omar Taylor, shot her in the head, killing her instantly. The next morning, Taylor surrendered to police. He confessed to the crime and pled guilty to charges of murder and manslaughter (Ohio). VILLAGOMEZ:    In October 2002, after an argument in which he demanded that she have an abortion, Jesus Villagomez stabbed his pregnant girlfriend in the stomach. The stab wound resulted in the death of her 18-week-old unborn child (Nevada). WALRADT:    In September 1999, Brodie Edric Walradt raped, tortured and murdered Beth Kennard, who was near-term and had already named her preborn baby Alexis Ann. She had refused his demands to have an abortion. He suffocated her and bludgeoned her with a log. Wadradt received a life sentence for his crimes (Washington State). WIEDEMAN:    16-year old Stephanie Nicole Burnett of Athens, Georgia, told her boyfriend, Matthew John Wiedeman, that she was pregnant. He demanded that she have an abortion, and she refused. So, in April 2002, Wiedeman attacked her from behind with a heavy solid steel barbell, while a friend, Raymond Soto, stabbed her with a long-bladed knife. Deputy Coroner Grover Tuten said "I think it's one of the most gruesome [murders] I've ever seen." A Richmond County grand jury indicted Wiedeman and Soto on charges of malice murder (Georgia). WILCOTT:    On June 8, 2002, at a graduation party, pro-abortionist Corinne Wilcott sneaked up behind Sheena Carson, who was 15 weeks pregnant, dragged her to the ground by her hair, punched her in the face, and kicked her repeatedly in the side, shouting "I hope the bastard dies! I told you I was going to get you for sleeping with Kareem!" [Wilcott's husband]. An autopsy revealed that Sheena's unborn child died four days later from blunt-force trauma to the mother's placenta. During the trial, medical experts testified that Sheena's unborn child suffocated in her womb because a blow broke the life-giving bloodlines that connected the child to his mother. Wilcott was found guilty of third-degree murder (Pennsylvania). WILMER:    On September 1, 2005, 29-year-old Claricia Wilmer had an argument with 17-year-old April Johnson, who was six months pregnant. So Wilmer went and got reinforcements in the form of three thuggish teenaged girls. Then the four found April, and beat and tortured her severely, despite the fact that she was obviously pregnant and could not defend herself. Wilmer decided to end April's suffering by plunging a long knife into her chest, killing her and her preborn child. Wilmer went on the run and was captured four months after the murder. Police charged her with first-degree murder (Iowa). WILLIAMS, CARLOS:    On January 27, 2005, Carlos Diangilo Williams went to the home of his pregnant 17-year-old pregnant girlfriend Cheri Washington and demanded that she have an abortion because he did not want the baby. She refused. So he asked a cousin, 19-year-old Stephen James Covington Jr., to bring him a baseball bat. He then restrained Cheri, duct-taped her so she could not move, then savagely punched her, kicked her, and beat her with the bat, deliberately targeting her abdomen. He then threw her out of the house. A neighbor found her as she staggered down the street, and she was transported to Potomac Hospital. Cheri, who was five months pregnant, died the next day of her injuries. Williams had beaten her so badly that she suffered multiple contusions and lacerations, brain and chest internal hemorrhages, a ruptured liver and a split placenta. Williams was arrested shortly after the murder. Prince William Commonwealth's Attorney Paul B. Ebert said that he was disappointed that he could not seek the death penalty for Williams, because there was no evidence to show that he had purposely killed Cheri — he was intending to kill their preborn baby. Ebert said "His intention was only to kill the fetus. Otherwise, it would have been capital. It is a horrendous crime ... If there was ever a capital case, I wish this was it." Prince William Police Chief Charlie T. Dean said that Williams "did not want her to have a baby, and he was going to kill the unborn child" (Virginia). WILLIAMS, SHAWN:    Shawn C. Williams began dating 17-year-old Catrise Gregory in 1994. In October 1995, Catrise told her mother that she was pregnant by Williams. Williams wanted her to have an abortion, but Catrise refused. She wanted to have her baby. On December 10, 1995, Williams picked Catrise up from work. He then raped her, beat her, strangled her to death, and left her body in her car. In 1999, Williams went on trial, and a Lucas County jury found him guilty of aggravated murder and rape. Upon hearing the results of the jury deliberation, Williams punched one of his defense attorneys in the face. At the penalty phase of the trial, the jury recommended a death sentence for Williams, and Judge Jensen sentenced him to death (Ohio). WILSON:    Pro-abortionist Garrett Wilson began to sexually molest 12-year-old Debbie Oliver, and emotionally browbeat her into having at least four abortions before she was 15 years old. He finally married her in 1980 when she could not have another abortion because she was too far along. Baby Brandi Jean was born shortly after the marriage. Wilson took out extensive life insurance policies on the baby girl and then smothered her to death when she was just two months old. He took the resulting $40,000 settlement and bought a brand-new Pontiac Trans Am. Wilson married Missy Anastasi in March 1986, and, in March 1987, they had a child, Garrett Michael. Wilson bought $150,000 of life insurance on the five-month-old baby and then smothered him to death. In July 1999, a jury took just two hours to find him guilty of first-degree murder in the death of Garrett Michael, and he received a sentence of life in prison without parole (Washington, D.C.). YELLOWBEAR:    The appropriately-named Andrew Yellowbear Jr. was a vicious thug who enjoyed beating his girlfriend Macalia Blackburn, especially when she was pregnant. He also loved to torture his little 22-month-old daughter Marcela. Finally, on July 2, 2004, he went even further and tortured the little toddler to death. When she was taken to a hospital after she died, horrified doctors found that she had many broken bones, and that most of her body was covered with bruises, lacerations and burns. She had obviously suffered the most extreme agony for several weeks before she died. During the course of their 2½-year relationship, Yellowbear beat up Macalia at least fifty times, "not counting times she was only hit." Macalia was hospitalized three times for her injuries, each time when she was pregnant. Yellowbear punched her, pulled her hair and threw her on her stomach, targeting her preborn child. Tim Gist, an assistant Fremont County attorney, described Marcela's death as "especially atrocious or cruel. ... She was made to suffer during the last weeks of her life. It is undeniable she would have been in great pain and agony." On April 1, 2006, a jury found Yellowbear guilty of first-degree murder in the death of his baby daughter, and on April 6, he was sentenced to life in prison (Wyoming).

Murder Category #3: Murders of Pregnant Women for Other Reasons

AGUBA:    Daniel Pagsisihan Aguba had lived with Fatima Bumatay in Santa Ana for several years and had two young sons by her. But their relationship had apparently ended during the Summer of 2004. On June 23, 2005, Fatima told Aguba that she was pregnant by another man, and he stabbed her thirteen times in the abdomen with a ten-inch carving knife, killing her in front of her one-year-old son. On August 17, 2007, Superior Court Judge Carla Singer sentenced Aguba to 25 years to life in prison for murder (California). ALLEN:    Lee Arthur Allen's ex-girlfriend, Kawanna Thomas, was eight months pregnant with a baby girl, and the two had been arguing over several issues, including Allen's new girlfriend. So Allen arranged to meet Kawanna in an isolated spot in South DeSoto Parish on November 12, 2007, and brought along his current girlfriend, Willa Kelly. Allen shot Kawanna seven times with a handgun, but she survived. Two of the shots were aimed directly at her belly, killing the unborn daughter she had already named Lanesha, who was due to be born on Christmas day. Then Allen and Kelly dragged Kawanna to the side of the road and drove away, leaving her to die. Allen and Kelly admitted that they murdered Kawanna, and a DeSoto Parish grand jury indicted both of them on two charges of first-degree murder, one charge each for Kawanna and her preborn child (Louisiana). AMAYA-RUIZ:    Mark and Kimberly Lopez had been married for only about a week, and Kimberly was 4 months pregnant. They gave a citizen of El Salvador, Jose Amaya-Ruiz, a job at their ranch near Tucson. On March 28, 1985, Amaya-Ruiz entered the house and stabbed Kimberly a total of 23 times. Then he shot her in the ear with a handgun to make absolutely certain that she was dead. However, she lived for about fifteen minutes before bleeding to death. In 1985, a jury found Amaya-Ruiz guilty of first-degree murder, manslaughter, first-degree burglary and theft, and sentenced him to die (Arizona). ANDERSON:    In November 1999, Pasadena pediatrician Kevin Paul Anderson strangled his business partner, neonatologist Dr. Deepti Gupta, a mother of two young children who was expecting her third. They were involved in an extramarital affair, and she was carrying his baby. Anderson was arrested by the police when a passerby noticed him pushing Gupta's Mercedes off a 450-foot cliff in the San Gabriel Mountains, after dousing her with gasoline, to make it appear that she had been killed in an accident. He confessed to Gupta's murder. In December 2000, Anderson was convicted of second-degree murder by a Pasadena jury (California). ARD:    Joseph "Jody" Ard's 17-year-old girlfriend Madeline Coffee was 8½ months pregnant with his child. In 1995, he shot her in the head, and then alleged that he was trying to wrestle the gun away from her to prevent her from committing suicide. In 1996, a Lexington County jury found Ard guilty of the murder of his girlfriend, and he was sentenced to death (South Carolina). BAIRD:    On September 6, 1985, Arthur P. Baird strangled to death his pregnant wife Nadine in their mobile home near Darlington, Indiana. He then held her body and watched television for several hours. The next day, he traveled to the home of his parents, Arthur and Kathryn Baird, where he fed the chickens and received a haircut from his mother. Then he stabbed both his parents to death in their home, loaded up his belongings, and left the premises. On March 13, 1987, a jury found Baird guilty of three counts of murder and one count of feticide. He received a 60-year sentence for killing his wife and eight years for killing the preborn child his wife was carrying. Baird confessed to the killings (Indiana). BAKER:    In November 2005, Jared Eugene Baker shot 19-year-old Olivia Marie Talbot to death in her home. Olivia was six and a half months pregnant, and her baby — already named Lane Junior — was due on Valentine's Day, February 14, 2006. Baker was charged with first-degree murder (Alberta). BALDWIN:    Michael Paul Baldwin, 21, had a 15-year-old girlfriend, Amanda Lynn Hanson, who was four months pregnant, and he was not happy about it at all. So he lured Amanda Lynn into a secluded area, and killed her by jamming a branch an inch in diameter down her throat with such force that her tongue was nearly torn loose. Several of her teeth were also broken out. Baldwin then jammed sticks into her other body orifices, one 10 inches inside her body. After he strangled her, Baldwin beat her and crushed her skull with a 30-pound rock. Baldwin was charged with first-degree murder, rape, and several other felonies. He confessed and, in November 2002, he pleaded guilty to first-degree murder. Sheriff John Anderson called the killing "the most vicious I've seen in my 30 years in law enforcement" (Colorado). BALLING:    On August 5, 2006, Joshua Balling got drunk. He dragged his pregnant girlfriend Amber Justus around the house, punched her several times in her belly, and threw her over a bed. Amber was taken to Riverside Methodist Hospital, but she miscarried. Police charged Balling with involuntary manslaughter (Ohio). BARNES:    When he was finally arrested for the last time, Odell Barnes was only 21 years old. But by that time, he had piled up a huge record of rapes, armed robberies, burglaries and other felonies, including trying to rape and murder a woman who was nine months pregnant. On November 29, 1989, Bass went to the home of 44-year-old Helen Bass. He kicked the back door of her house in, then raped her. Then he murdered her by hitting her over the head with a heavy lamp, striking her with a rifle so hard it broke in half, stabbing her twice in the neck, and finally finishing her off by shooting her in the head with a .32-caliber pistol. On May 6, 1991, a Lubbock County jury found him guilty of capital murder and sentenced him to death. Odell Barnes, Jr. was executed by the State of Texas by lethal injection on March 1, 2000 (Texas). BASS:    On January 31, 2008, Tyree Bass shot and killed Emine Hajredinaj, who was seven months pregnant, in the back with a shotgun, and also shot her boyfriend, Kevin Cook, who survived serious injuries to his chest and arms. When searching the murder scene, police found several Molotov cocktails. Fortunately, doctors at Temple University Hospital managed to perform an emergency Caesarean section and delivered Emine's baby girl, whom she had already named Atianna Emine (Pennsylvania). BATEMAN:    Dennis Bateman needed money, so he decided to target the most helpless person he could find — 21-year-old Brandy Waryasz, a gas station attendant who was seven months pregnant. On April 16, 2005, he stole a pint of brandy from the gas station, and was caught doing so on a videotape. Three hours later, he assaulted and strangled Brandy, and then stole the gas station's cash register with about $350 in it, as well as some liquor. Brandy had already named her viable unborn son Dane Anthony Hall, but he died on the floor of the gas station that day as well. Unfortunately for him, Bateman left the black nylon strap that he had used to strangle Brandy around her neck, and prosecutors matched his DNA to the DNA on the strap (Massachusetts). BEAMON:    Donte Griffin had affairs going on with at least two women. He had fathered a child with Tamikia L. Beamon, and Antoinette Vanlandingham was six months pregnant with his child. Beamon went Antoinette's home and shot her. Beamon fled the scene, and Griffin returned about an hour later. He immediately called police. Beamon was scheduled to go to trial on June 20, 2005, but, on May 27, she pled guilty to two counts of first-degree reckless homicide. On July 15, Milwaukee County Circuit Judge David Hansher sentenced her to fifty years in prison (Wisconsin). BEARD:    Michael J. Beard was living with his girlfriend, Donna L. Wojahn, who was five months pregnant with his child, and Wojahn's four-year-old son. Early in the morning of August 25, 2003, Beard and Wojahn began to argue. A neighbor heard gunshots and called police, who arrived and found both Beard and Wojahn dead. An autopsy performed the next day confirmed that Beard had shot and killed Wojahn, and had then committed suicide with the same gun. Beard had shot his pregnant girlfriend in the chest and head and had shot himself in the head (Washington State). BELL:    20-year-old Faye Bennett was six months pregnant with a son and was looking forward very much to having her baby. But, in September 2004, David Bell, assisted by his girlfriend Jennifer Helmedach, strangled and stabbed her to death and then stuffed her body into a garbage bag. Juries convicted both Bell and Helmedach of felony murder and sentenced them to long prison terms (Connecticut). BELLAMY:    On December 13, 2005, Cassie Cook Full, five months pregnant, had the misfortune of being caught in a crossfire between her boyfriend, Philip Macaluso, and drug dealer Walter Bellamy, Jr, who fired several shots at a car Cassie was riding in, one of which hit her in the back and severed her aortic artery. She quickly bled to death. Macaluso did not bother to drive her to a hospital, but just abandoned her in the car. Both Bellamy and Macaluso were charged with murder in the case. On September 2, 2006, police finally caught up with Bellamy after a hunt lasting nearly a year. Two police officers recognized him and stopped his car, but he drove off, dragging one of the officers behind his car. The police then shot him dead (Florida). BIEGHLER:    Marvin Bieghler, a major illegal drug dealer in Kokomo, was enraged that somebody had "blown the whistle" on his drug operation. He repeatedly vowed to "blow away" whoever it was who had informed on him, and then he made good on his threat. On December 11, 1981, Bieghler murdered 21-year-old Tommy Miller and his pregnant wife, 19-year-old Kimberly. A jury convicted Bieghler of two counts of first-degree murder in 1983, and the State of Indiana executed him by lethal injection on January 27, 2006 (Indiana). BISSELL:    Hayward Bissell was a "pro-choicer" whose exploits are so gruesome and spectacular that someone wrote a book about them. On January 23, 2000, Bissell fatally stabbed his pregnant girlfriend, Patricia Ann Booher. He then amputated one of her hands and one of her legs, gouged out her eyes, and carved her heart out of her chest. Then he removed her esophagus and put it in his shirt pocket. He put what was left of Patricia Ann into his car and started driving. Shortly after he murdered Patricia Ann, he walked up to James Pumphrey and, without a word, began repeatedly stabbing him. Pumphrey's two Labrador retrievers immediately attacked Bissell, but he killed them both by cutting their throats. James Pumphrey barely survived the attack, and could not work for months. Bissell was arrested and incarcerated for life in an institution for the criminally insane (Alabama). BOLER:    DeShone Boler was married, but was committing adultery with Emily Garrison, who was pregnant with his child. His wife, Crystal Michele, was understandably unhappy with this cheating, so she decided to take action. She went to Garrison's home, beat her up with a gun, bit her severely on the shoulder, stabbed her in the neck with a knife, and finally shot her five times (Texas). BRADY:    Una Brady was just days from delivering a healthy baby. She had been married to Shane Brady for two years. On March 4, 2005, the couple began to argue. Then, in front of Una's two teenaged daughters from a previous marriage, Shane Brady shot his wife in the face and chest, then turned the gun on himself. Fairfield police Sergeant John, a 22-year veteran of the force, said "It's one of the worst [murders] I ever heard of. It doesn't get much worse than shooting a pregnant woman" (California). BRANCH:    On April 27, 2007, Christopher Branch beat his pregnant girlfriend, Contessa Salazar, in his home. Later, as he saw her walking alongside the road, he grabbed her by the hair, trying to pull her into his pickup truck while it was moving. He hit her with the door of the pickup, knocking her down, and then ran over her legs and pelvis. Others witnessed this brutal assault and stopped to help. As they were trying to help, Branch tried to run them down. He finally hit one of the men, Michael Rutkowski, at a high rate of speed, throwing him 50 feet and killing him instantly. Branch was finally arrested and charged with murder, attempted murder, kidnapping, aggravated assault, aggravated battery, and eluding police. To show how completely out-of-touch some people can be, Branch and Salazar submitted a request to get married just two weeks after he tried his very best to murder her. One blogger commented "How about they both get put to death. Him for murder and her for being a dumbass. Then they can get hitched by the devil" (New Mexico). BRANDT:    In 1971, when Carl "Charlie" Brandt was only thirteen years old, he murdered his own mother, who was eight months pregnant, and shot his father several times. In July 1989, he murdered Sherry Perisho and cut her heart out of her chest. In November 1995, he murdered Darlene Toler, cut off her head and cut her heart out, and stuffed her body in a plastic bag. Finally, on September 11, 2004, he murdered his wife and Michelle Jones, Teri's niece. He cut off Michelle's head, left leg, heart and breasts, and left her body parts neatly arranged on the bed, along with the two kitchen knives he had used to perform his grisly surgery. After murdering Teri and Michelle, Charlie went to the garage and hung himself with a bed sheet. As the FBI continued its investigation, it found that there were 26 other killings with similar characteristics within the range of Brandt's travel patterns (Indiana). BREWER:    John George Brewer and Rita Kathleen Brier had been living together for some time, but Rita, who was pregnant, wanted to end the relationship because Brewer was too dependent upon her. Brewer describes what happened on November 11, 1987: "I started screaming and yelling, you know, "Why think about if you were dead? I'll kill you." I proceeded to beat her, strangle her, pound her, throw her, bash her head against the wall, tried to break her arm so she couldn't claw my eyes out." Brewer bludgeoned Rita with his fists, bit her, slammed her arms against the sharp corners of furniture, and tried to gouge her eyes out with his thumbs. Finally, he strangled her with a gray necktie. She was 22 weeks pregnant at the time. Then he had sexual intercourse with her dead body, got dressed, walked to a nearby bowling alley, and called police. Brewer asked for the death sentence because he said he deserved to die. His wish was granted. Brewer pled guilty to first-degree murder, and a jury sentenced him to death in August 1988. On March 3, 1993, he was executed (Arizona). BROWN, ERIC:    On January 22, 1999, the 26th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, pro-abortionist Eric Laquinne Brown of Pontotoc, Mississippi strangled to death his pregnant ex-girlfriend Shorlonda Moore and left the bodies of Moore and her preborn child in a burned-out car in Memphis, Tennessee. In November 1999, Brown received a life sentence for the murder of Moore and a concurrent 20-year manslaughter sentence for the killing of her preborn child after pleading guilty to the charges (Tennessee). BROWN, KASHARD:    Kashard Omar Brown had a long history of abusing his pregnant girlfriend, Rebekah Hanson. He repeatedly held a shotgun to her head, beat her, and even beat Rebekah's mother, Ann Mayne. Rebekah had been to emergency rooms many times after Brown beat her. Rebekah was about to leave Brown because of his continued violence, but he would not allow this to happen. In September 2001, he threatened Rebekah with the shotgun held against her head again, only this time he pulled the trigger. On September 13, 2002, a jury convicted Brown of first-degree murder. Rebekah's mother said that "My daughter can hold up her head now and she can be proud. She had dreams until this cockroach came along" (Nevada). BRYAN:    In August 2007, Alan Bryan attacked his pregnant girlfriend Charlene Knapp with a sword. She was found with multiple stab wounds and her three-month preborn baby died as a result of the attack. She suffered through four operations in a Halifax hospital after the assault. Police arrested Bryan and charged him with attempted murder, aggravated assault and assault with a sword. Because of Canada's total lack of abortion law, police could not charge him with any crime associated with the death of Charlene's wanted preborn baby. In fact, repeated attempts by pro-life Members of Parliament that would recognize both victims have failed after Canadian pro-abortion groups complained (Nova Scotia). BULL:    John Bull married his wife Sandra at Niagara Falls on February 17, 1998. On March 2, they argued, and Bull strangled Sandra to death in their Amherst home. Then, he returned to the American side of Niagara Falls on March 10, 1998. In full view of horrified tourists, he put on swim goggles, climbed over a guard rail, and was swept over the Falls. His body was never found (New York). BUNYARD:    Jerry and Elaine Bunyard had been married for three years, and Elaine was ecstatic that she was about a week away from delivering their first child, a little girl, in 1979. But Jerry Bunyard wasn't as excited. He was carrying on an adulterous affair with a Tracy woman and thought his wife would "take him for everything he had" if he divorced her, a witness said. So Bunyard approached a biker-type boyhood friend, Earlin Popham, and offered him $1,000 to kill his wife. When Elaine Bunyard was alone in the kitchen, Popham broke an iron skillet on her skull. He then shot her in the head with a shotgun and tried to make the crime look like both a robbery and a suicide (California). BURNETT:    20-year-old elementary school basketball coach, Elgin "Ray-Ray" Robinson Jr., had impregnated one of his students, 14-year-old Chelsea Brooks. Chelsea was nine months pregnant and had already named her preborn baby "Alexa Lynn." Robinson knew that, once his child was born, DNA testing would show that he was the father, and that he would probably be charged with rape. So he paid 17-year-old Everett Gentry $500 to murder Chelsea. On June 9, 2006, Gentry put shovels in the back seat of his car, then picked up Burnett and Chelsea. They drove to an unpopulated area, and Burnett reached from the back seat and strangled her to death with a garrott. Then they dumped her in a shallow grave in a secluded wheat field. Gentry pleaded guilty to a charge of capital murder, and was sentenced to life in prison. (Kansas). BUTLER:    On March 22, 2006, James D. Butler Jr. shot his pregnant girlfriend Trisha L. Bergemann in the head, and then fled with the help of another of his girlfriends, who had also supplied him with the gun he had used to murder Trisha. About one hour later, Butler shot and killed himself as police officers closed in on him. The next day, Trisha and her preborn child both died (Wisconson). BUTTRAM:    Michael Willard Buttram met "exotic dancer" Tara Cantrell at a bachelor party and began dating her. They had been going out for about a year when she started seeing her former boyfriend, Jason Talley, and became pregnant by him. A jealous Buttram began to follow Tara and Talley, and eventually went to Tara's home and shot her and her mother Mildred multiple times. In 2003, a jury found Buttram guilty of two counts of murder and sentenced him to life in prison (Georgia). CALAC:    On February 15, 2004, Andre F. Calac shot his pregnant girlfriend, Marlene J. Magee, in the head. He was charged with murder (California). CAMPBELL:    On October 19, 2007, Winford Campbell went to the home of his estranged wife Sondra, and shot her several times, killing her. He then went inside the house and shot Sondra's 21-year-old daughter, Jamia Van Zant, who was seven months pregnant. Jamia and her preborn child survived the attack. Campbell then drove to the sheriff's office and turned himself in. A DeSoto Parish grand jury indicted him on charges of first-degree murder and attempted murder (Louisiana). CHASE:    Richard Trenton Chase was an unusual child, to say the very least. He enjoyed capturing, torturing and killing animals, particularly cats. He could have grown up and made a lot of money doing exactly the same thing to preborn children as an abortionist, but he decided to take a different career path. In 1977, he shot and killed 51-year-old Ambrose Griffin "just to see what it was like." The following year, he killed Teresa Wallin, who was three months pregnant. Then he dragged her body into a bedroom and carved off her left nipple, stabbed her repeatedly, cut out both of her kidneys and sliced her pancreas in two. Then he retrieved a yogurt container from the trash and used it to drink her blood. The same day, he stole a four-month-old puppy, shot it in the head, and drank its blood. Two days after this, he raped and sodomized Evelyon Miroth, then shot and killed her. Then he murdered Daniel Meredith and Evelyon's six-year-old son Jason. Finally, he went to the crib of little 22-month-old David Ferreira and crushed his head. Chase took the body of baby David with him, cut off the little boy's head, and ate some of his organs. Two psychiatrists examined Chase, and he confessed to all of his crimes. The psychiatrists both declared him sane and fit to stand trial. He became known as the "Vampire Killer of Sacramento," and a jury found him guilty of six counts of first-degree murder. Chase was sentenced to death for his crimes, but he ended his violent life by committing suicide on Death Row. In 1992, a movie on his life was released. It was appropriately entitled Unspeakable (California). CHEA AND OTHERS:    On January 16, 2006, 20-year-old Nath Ouch, who was eight months pregnant, walked out of the door of her South Fresno apartment with a pot of soup in her hands. She saw several members of the Asian Boyz street gang standing before her with guns. She turned, and they opened fire on her with AK-47 assault rifles and .45 caliber pistols. Dozens of shots hit buildings and nearby vehicles, but only one hit Ouch in the back. It was enough to instantly kill her and her near-term preborn daughter. Ten gang members and associates were convicted of first-degree murder in this case and received prison sentences ranging from fifteen years to life without parole (California). CICCONE:    On October 23, 2003, Albert A. Ciccone and his pregnant wife Kathleen began to argue on the way back from a marriage counseling session. They both got out of the car and scuffled near the road. Kathleen then walked away, headed toward a friend's home in the sparsely-populated area. When she had walked about 200 yards, Ciccone gunned his turbocharged car and accelerated to a speed of about 40 to 50 miles an hour, then ran down his pregnant wife on the rural road Northeast of Tipanuk. The impact, witnessed by a teenager, threw Kathleen's body an estimated 50 feet through the air. She died instantly. Ciccone was arrested and soon confessed to the murder. He was charged with two counts of first-degree murder (Idaho). CLARK:    In March 2006, Vellar Clark, III, shot his pregnant girlfriend Gwen Sneed to death and left her body lying in the street next to her motorcycle in a business district in North Houston. Gwen's family said that she had planned to end her relationship with Clark. On November 7, 2006, Clark was arrested and jailed without bond on a charge of capital murder (Texas). CLINARD:    Christopher Clinard's girlfriend, Tia Vinson, was just two weeks away from delivering a healthy baby, but she wanted to end their relationship. According to Lieutenant Williams Watkins of the Springfield Police Department, "He became angry and upset because he told her that if he couldn't have her, no one else could, that he wasn't going to see another man raise his child." So, on February 20, 2005, Clinard repeatedly stabbed Tia until she and her preborn baby died. Clinard was charged with criminal homicide the next day. In May 2005, a Robertson County grand jury indicted him on two counts of first-degree murder (Tennessee). COAKLEY:    Robert Coakley had a real problem on his hands. He was married but had a girlfriend on the side who was nine months pregnant with his child. So he enlisted his wife Maria in his plot to murder Marilyn Ginel. On March 31, 2006, they attacked Marilyn and murdered her without mercy. They herded Marilyn's three small children into a bedroom. Robert Coakley threatened the children's lives, saying "If you tell anybody I killed your mother, I'll kill you." He then emphasized the point by slashing at the little boy with the same knife he used to murder his mother. Then the children began to hear their mother screaming. While Maria held Marilyn down, Robert Coakley slashed her throat open with a butcher knife. Then, to make absolutely certain she was dead, he crushed her skull with a heavy object. The murderers then fled the scene to leave Marilyn's three children to discover their mother's mutilated body (New York). COCELLI:    On October 2, 2004, Turan Cocelli stabbed his seven months pregnant common-law wife, Aysun Sesen, to death and also stabbed his own mother, seriously wounding her. Doctors performed an emergency caesarean section, but Aysun's preborn baby was stillborn. Cocelli was arrested and charged with second-degree murder and aggravated assault, but police did not charge him with any crime for the murder of his own viable preborn child, because Canadian law sees even a nine-month preborn child as nothing more than a warm piece of meat (Ontario). COLEMAN:    According to relatives, 23-year-old Lillian Louis, who was four months pregnant and who had two small children, often fought with her boyfriend, 21-year-old Joey Coleman. On September 9, 2005, Coleman decided to end the fights once and for all. He broke into Lillian's home and ordered everyone but her to leave the house. Then he shot her to death and killed himself (Texas). COLLIER:    On March 14, 2005, James Collier strangled his pregnant 18-year-old wife Lennie Hing and then cut off her head and cut out some of her internal organs near Shell Point, Florida. On March 30, sheriffs found her headless, decaying corpse, and on June 20, they found her head. On May 31, Collier confessed to murdering his wife. On May 2, 2007, Judge Michael Overstreet found him guilty of first-degree murder and sentenced him to life in prison (Florida). COLLINS:    James Ray Collins' 18-year-old girlfriend, Valerie Marie Bennett, was 6½ months pregnant with his child. On October 6, 1995, Collins and Valerie began to argue about her pregnancy. The argument escalated, and Collins shot Valerie to death. Collins was charged with two counts of first-degree murder under a 1994 ruling by the C
