Encouraging Child Sexual Abuse in the First Degree (51 counts), Contributing to the Sexual Delinquency of a Minor (51 counts), Coercion (51 counts), Using a Child in a Display of Sexually Explicit Conduct (4 counts), Second-Degree Sexual Abuse (2 counts), Unlawful Delivery of a Controlled Substance to a Minor (8 counts), Endangering the Welfare of a Minor (8 counts), Drug Possession (4 counts), and Compelling Prostitution

       On August 11, 2004, former Deschutes County Sheriff's deputy Mike Malloy was indicted by a grand jury for 143 felony sex abuse and drug charges from his involvement with two 17-year-old La Pine girls. Malloy was hired to work as a school resource and D.A.R.E. officer in La Pine-area schools. One of the victims met Malloy when she was just eleven years old.
       Malloy had sex with both 17-year-old girls, at least one time in his patrol car, videotaped sexual acts with one of the girls and got one of them pregnant and paid cash for her abortion.
       Malloy was jailed in lieu of $1.33 million bail. In April 2005, he pled guilty to the charges and was sentenced to 17 years in prison.

Aggravated Harassment (2 incidents) and Sexual Molestation

       On February 12, 2004, abortionist Ronald Stevenson was convicted on two counts of aggravated harassment of his customers. He was originally charged with one count of second-degree felony sex abuse and four counts of third-degree misdemeanor sex abuse regarding his patients, but entered an "Alford plea," where the defendant does not admit guilt, but takes advantage of a plea bargain offered by the district attorney's office. The plea is legally viewed as a conviction.
       The abortionist will be on probation for five years. He also had sexual molestation charged filed against him in October 1997.

Vandalism (6 incidents)

       On January 22, 2005, the 32nd anniversary of the United States Supreme Court decision Roe v. Wade, the group Students for Life met early in the Oregon State University Quad to set up a commemorative display of 3,000 small wooden crosses, representing the number of abortions committed in the United States each day. Students for Life also passed out pamphlets and other information.
       Students for Life chair Angie Bergh said "I consider myself to be a very non-confrontational person, so these things always make me really nervous. But it's probably the issue I have most of an opinion on, and that's why I'm here."
       As always, there are many pro-abortionists who believe that only they should have a right to free speech on this issue. During the day, several pro-aborts walked through the display, screaming curses and kicking and tearing the crosses down. Some of these vandals stupidly claimed that they just wanted to move the pro-life crosses to another area.
       Other pro-abortionists held signs with the same tired slogans we have all heard so many times before. Sophomore Chelsea Whitlow held a sign reading "Morality cannot be legislated. Keep your morals out of my vagina!" Junior Paje Stelling grumbled that "I am not a baby-killer; I just think it's inappropriate for someone to tell a woman what she can and cannot do with her body. I'm fighting for a choice, not for a death." Another pro-abort mused idiotically "I'm offended by all of the crosses. Why do they have to assume that all unborn children are Christian?"
       Kristen Lycett, a member of the Feminist Majority Leadership Alliance, had not bothered to get a permit like the pro-lifers had, so she chalked the sidewalks of the Quad with silly pro-abortion slogans in response to the pro-life display. The University's Department of Public Safety told her to scrub the slogans away. Molly Gray, the president of the FMLA, sniveled that "It just aggravates me that other groups can write whatever they want, whenever they want, but when our group chalked the sidewalks, we got called to remove them."

Theft

       This is yet another of the many cases of so-called 'pro-choicers' trying to shut down the speech of anyone who disagrees with them.
       At Oregon State University, College Republican President Chad Robinson had about 2,600 small wooden crosses, valued at about $450, piled in the back of his pickup truck. They were destined to be used in a display called "The Cemetery of the Unborn" that shows the number of preborn babies aborted in the United States every day.
       On January 20, 2003, pro-abortionists stole all of the crosses except for two, one of which was left in the bed of the pickup truck, and the other on the hood.
       But the pro-aborts failed in their efforts to silence the pro-lifers. They still managed to set up 1,000 crosses, which were stored in another location, on the MU Quad two days later (January 22) to mark the anniversary of Roe v. Wade.
       Lee Vasche, State Chairman of the Oregon College Republicans, said that "The Cemetery may have 1,000 crosses instead 3,600 — but that doesn't take away from our purpose. We can only assume that a few small-minded bigots at OSU decided that free speech only applies if you are pro-abortion."
       Robinson said that "Despite the fact that some have resorted to illegal and criminal tactics to squelch our message, we will not be intimidated and will not give in to their discriminatory actions."
       College Republican National Committee Chairman Scott Stewart added "The fascist left on campus consistently use fear and intimidation to suppress the voice of those they disagree with. Regarding the incident at OSU, I fail to see the difference between stealing those crosses and burning them."
       Before the display, the College Republicans had received numerous complaints from pro-abortionists, many of which repeated the same tired old slogans, such as "We don't need hate on this campus."

Eugene


Sexual Abuse (29 incidents) and Malpractice

       Oregon State's Board of Medical Examiners revoked abortionist Philip S. Alberts' license in May of 1995, after it had received complaints from about one hundred women claiming that he had sexually abused them. The Board ruled that he had committed sexual misconduct. Alberts also was charged with sexual abuse in a 29-count criminal indictment involving 18 victims.
       The 62-year-old longtime Portland abortionist died of a stroke on May 29, 1995, before he could be tried on any of the charges. This meant that the 89 women who had agreed to testify against him would not get their say in court. The statute of limitations had expired on all but 29 incidents. Women stated that he had been molesting them right from the beginning of his 36-year medical career.
       When, at the beginning of his medical career, he worked at the old Portland Air Base as a captain, some women said Alberts told them they shouldn't complain about his actions because he could make life difficult for their husbands, who held lower ranks. Ilena Lacaden said that "I was absolutely terrified when he propositioned me. I didn't think I had any power at all. I spent months just sitting in a closet, coming out just to take shower after shower, and trying to act normal around my husband. I wish I'd had the courage to do something years ago."
       On August 11, 1995, after a trial in Multnomah County Circuit Court, a jury awarded Terri Hunt $865,000 because Alberts had performed an unneeded hysterectomy, leaving her sterile and causing major bladder problems.
       When Alberts died, he was also the defendant in five civil lawsuits, including two for alleged sexual abuse and one for allegedly taking unneccessary photographs of a patient's genitals. It was unlikely that any of the victims would recover any damages, since the abortionist filed for bankruptcy in 1994.
       Alberts was a fellow in the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology, former chief of staff at Woodland Park Hospital and former vice president of the Multnomah County Medical Society. He was also Secretary of the Gynecologic Laser and Advanced Technology Society.
       Typically, in more than a dozen articles written by reporters for the Portland Oregonian — including two front-page stories — not a single one mentioned the fact that Alberts was an abortionist. The Oregonian did consider it newsworthy, however, to report all kinds of irrelevant details — that Alberts asked that his patients call him "Phil;" that he preferred maroon lab coats; that he wore Birkenstock sandals; that he had a private pilot's license; that he drove a 1988 Saab with license plates "PMSRX" — that is, the prescription for premenstrual syndrome; and that he wore a chain around his neck with a medallion of what appeared to be a vulva.
       Also quite typically, not a single one of the pro-abortion or feminist groups in the Portland area condemned Alberts' actions, showing once again that they place the "right" to abortion far above the rights of women.

McMinnville


Kidnapping, Forced Abortion, Conspiracy and Witness Tampering

       School officials forced an 18-year-old pregnant girl attending Amity High School to have an abortion. Indictments handed down in this incident included conspiring to change school attendance records to show that she never left school to have the abortion, witness tampering, and kidnapping.

Medford


First-Degree Murder (2 Counts), Kidnapping, Statutory Rape, Death Threats (2 incidents), Theft, Lewd Phone Calls, Possession of Narcotics, Vandalism (2 incidents), Assault (3 incidents), Escape, Parole Violation, Vagrancy, Destruction of Property and Larceny

       On February 3, 1969, Russell Obremski shot LaVerna Mae Lowe four times and left her partially clad body to be discovered by her eight-year-old daughter Becky. LaVerna was eight months pregnant. Then he kidnapped and killed Betty Ann Ritchie by holding a gun against her temple and shooting her. Then he threw her body down an embankment and went to buy some beer. Her nude body was found the next day, 34 miles Southwest of Medford.
       Obremski had a long criminal record dating back to when he was permanently expelled from Henley High School. He broke school windows, made lewd phone calls, threatened girls with a knife, vandalized property, and stole gasoline. He also viciously attacked and battered a younger, smaller boy for no apparent reason. He had been sentenced to prison for twenty years for various offenses, including statutory rape, larceny, vagrancy, and escape. He served only 14 months, and was released just five months before he murdered LaVerna Mae and Betty Ann.
       During his trial, he attempted to escape from his cell, destroyed the furniture in his cell, threatened to stick a pencil in the eye of one of his defense lawyers, and tried to hit the other with a chair.
       In June 1969, a jury found Obremski guilty of two counts of first-degree murder, and he was sentenced to life in prison. There he was convicted of possession of narcotics.
       But, unfortunately, this was not the end of Obremski's story.
       On November 8, 1993, after having served only fourteen years in prison for two horrible murders, Obremski was paroled. The system was broken, and Oregonians knew it. Relatives of Obremski's victims collected more than 50,000 signatures seeking to keep him in jail, but to no effect. Four months later, he was back in prison for life — because he drank half a beer on Valentine's Day 1994.

Portland


First-Degree Rape [Sherwood]

       41-year-old Kenneth J. Jendro, a long-haul truck driver, was arrested March 1, 1997 on accusations that he had raped his girlfriend's 11-year-old daughter. The child became pregnant as a result of the rape, which occurred in July 1996.
       The girl soon began to complain of stomach cramps and nausea, and her mother took her to a clinic for a checkup, where she was determined to be pregnant. Jendro and the girl's mother took her to the Downtown Women's Center abortion mill in Portland, where the abortionist began an induction labor to kill the 17-week-old preborn baby. After the first day of the three-day procedure, the little girl complained that she was in severe pain, and she was taken to the emergency room at Legacy Emanuel Hospital in Portland where abortionist Elizabeth Newhall completed killing the late-term baby on October 30. Newhall sliced out a piece of the preborn child's liver for DNA testing and gave it to police.
       During Jendro's August 1997 Washington County Circuit Court trial before Judge Michael McElligott, DNA test results revealed that there is a "99.9999 percent" chance that he was the father of the girl's baby.
       Nobody at the abortion mill or the hospital seems to have questioned the circumstances surrounding a pregnant 11-year-old, despite a state law that requires the reporting of suspected sexual abuse. The little girl did not come to the attention of the police until she had to be treated for post-abortion complications the day after the late-term abortion was completed. She was placed in protective custody and did not return home.
       Even Lois Backus, executive director of Planned Parenthood of the Columbia-Willamette, said that "It would be unusual for a physician or a nurse practitioner not to raise additional questions. Pregnant 11-year-olds are still quite rare in this society."

Rape, Sexual Abuse (15 incidents), Death Threat, and Delivering a Controlled Substance to a Minor [Hillsboro]

       33-year-old John Joseph Gallardo had sex with a 16-year-old Hillsboro girl dozens of times and gave her methamphetamines on numerous occasions. In June 1997, the girl had a baby girl, but when she told Gallardo she was pregnant, he offered her a pound of meth to get an abortion. When she refused to have an abortion, he threatened to kill her, she told police.
       Gallardo was arrested on a grand jury indictment charging him with third-degree rape, third-degree sex abuse and delivering a controlled substance to a minor.

Forced Abortion and Malpractice

       Felicia Bautista was only 15 years old and pregnant. Her boyfriend wanted her to have an abortion, but she refused. So, in 2001, they went to the All Women's Health Services abortion mill in Portland, Oregon.
       There Felicia found out just how much feminists and abortionists care about "empowering" women. As soon as they arrived at the abortion mill, a nurse handed Felicia two Valium pills because she "looked nervous." Then the nurse left her alone in a room and left her there, locking the door to let the Valium do its work on her 101-pound body. The nurse soon returned and gave her a document to sign. At no time did anyone talk to Felicia or even ask her why she was at the abortion mill.
       The drowsy Felicia was led to a surgical room that had not even been cleaned or sterilized after the previous patient had been aborted. The clinic personnel led her into the room and helped her up onto the table, and she was aborted.
       Jessica Rodgers, writing about Felicia's case in the Salem Statesman Journal, says that nothing has changed. The abortion mills have one goal and one goal only — To pile up lots of cash. Rodgers wrote that "As outrageous as it may seem, these facilities performing surgeries are not regulated in the same manner as any other medical office, and these clear violations of what ought to be basic patient rights are allowed to continue. And before this case takes on a long-ago-and-far-away factor, please keep in mind that it was four years ago in Oregon, and nothing has changed.
       In January 2005, Felicia won an out-of-court settlement against the abortion mill for not informing her that abortion increases the risk of contracting breast cancer. This judgment, which scared the abortion industry half to death, was the first of its kind in the United States.

Tillamook


Aggravated Murder (7 counts)

       On December 21, 2002, Edward Morris surprised his family with a trip to the Tillamook State Forest near the Oregon coast. He was with his seven months pregnant wife, Renee, and their three young children, ten-year-old Bryant, eight-year-old Alexis, and four-year-old Jonathan. At a pullout on Route 6, he shot his wife and two sons, then drove to a deserted wooded area and stabbed his daughter more than a dozen times. He then fled in the family minivan. Hunters found the bodies of the slaughtered family in the snow.
       Morris left the area and attempted to change his appearance by shaving his head and growing a mustache. But, on January 4, 2003, brother and sister Thomas and Linda Martin noticed Morris driving his Dodge Caravan near Baker City, Oregon. They followed him and called 9-1-1. Police arrested Morris at a drug store in Baker City shortly thereafter. Thomas and Linda Martin claimed the $50,000 reward offered by the Federal Bureau of Investigation for Morris' capture.
       Morris was charged with seven counts of aggravated murder, because, in Oregon, the murder of a child under fourteen years of age counts twice.
       On September 20, 2004, Morris pled guilty to seven counts of aggravated murder and was subsequently sentenced to serve four consecutive life terms in prison.
