Gulfport -- Assault with a Deadly Weapon (ADW), Bankruptcy Fraud and Income Tax Evasion        On March 19, 1994, abortionist Joseph Booker confronted pro-life sidewalk counselors outside of his New Woman Medical Center abortion mill, opened up a black pouch, pulled out a gun and waved it at the women and children, specifically pointing it at pro-lifer Roy McMillan. Police confirmed the incident and charged Booker with assault, and with pointing and aiming. Booker was not convicted. McMillan said that Booker and his security guard lied in court.        The abortionist, the former operator of an abortion mill in Gulfport, admitted to filing a false income tax return in 1995 for the Gulf Coast Women's Clinic Inc. Booker claimed that his abortion mill's taxable income in Calendar Year 1994 was $2,350, but the actual income was $93,500.68, according to the indictment. He failed to pay over $30,000 in taxes. In November 1999, he was sentenced to five months in prison for filing a false personal Federal income tax return. Booker reported $29,000 in taxable income for 1994 year when he really made $121,000. He told the court that he didn't realize the discrepancy when he signed the tax return, which was prepared by a Jackson accounting firm. He told the judge he would lose his job at an abortion mill. "If I don't have a job, I won't be able to pay," whined Booker.        On December 20, 1999, near Ocean Springs, police found a buried cooler containing plastic bags and aborted children. The cooler had originally belonged to Booker. Ocean Springs Police Chief Kerry Belk said several law enforcement agencies, including the Environmental Protection Agency, had investigated and never determined that a crime was committed.        After he finished his prison term, Booker immediately went back to committing abortions at the New Woman Medical Center abortuary in Jackson. Gail Chadwick of Pro-Choice of Mississippi said Booker should be allowed to resume practicing medicine because tax charge was unrelated to his performance as a doctor.        "Life Issues Connector," August 1994, page 3; Roy McMillan, telephone conversation with Lynn K.

Jackson -- Kidnapping, Child Rape and Production of Child Pornography        Abortionist Milan D. Chepko, who killed preborn children at the amusingly-named New Woman Medical Center, is an example of an good upstanding infantilist.        Chepko was arrested and charged in Federal court with forcing minors to engage in "kiddie porn" movies, producing the movies, conspiracy with others to produce the movies, and shipping them across state lines. The movies involved children of four years of age in many cases being sodomized by adults, having sex with adult men and women, and also depicted oral sex between men and very young boys. According to an affidavit filed in Federal court, Chepko's van contained evidence that he and his correspondents "... are members or supporters of the National and International Diaper Pail Foundation, in which the members are infantilists who enjoy wearing diapers, defecating in the diapers, and smearing the defecation on the body while masturbating. They are also interested in the defecation of small children."        The charges against the abortionist included inducing or coercing a minor to engage in sexually explicit conduct for the purpose of producing movies, knowingly shipping the movies across state lines, and using a false name or making a false statement to a U.S. agency.        Federal authorities found child pornography in Chepko's house, including videos with titles like "Diaper Dump." An FBI affidavit also states that Chepko admitted to mailing and receiving through the mail child pornography. The tapes contained scenes with children as young as four years old in sexual conduct with adult males and females. One incident allegedly involved children and adults engaged in sodomy. Chepko was also fined for taping FBI telephone conversations in the investigation of the disappearance of a Jackson, Mississippi woman.        The abortionist's medical license was revoked in Georgia in 1990, in Mississippi in 1991, in North Carolina and New Jersey in 1992. His medical license was permanently revoked at the Federal level on January 17, 1991.        Jackson Herald, September 30, 1989; Mississippi Board of Medical Licensure vs. Milan Chepko; "Just a Coincidence?"

Jackson -- Attempted Forced Abortion        Pro-abortionists laugh when pro-lifers claim they see parents dragging their daughters into their abortion mills.        But such coercion is not at all uncommon.        In March 2003, a pregnant 16-year-old -- called "A.S." for purposes of anonymity -- contacted the American Family Association's Center for Law and Policy in Tupelo and said that her parents were trying to force her to have an abortion. The AFA attorneys had to go to court, and on March 28, 2003, the day before she was scheduled to have an abortion at the Jackson Women's Health Organization, Judge William H. Barbour issued a temporary restraining order to halt the procedure.        Barbour's order said "forcing A.S. to have an abortion against her will would violate her constitutional right to privacy and bodily integrity" and cause irreparable harm. "There are no medical complications to plaintiff's pregnancy that would require an abortion for health reasons. Nor is there any evidence before the court to indicate that plaintiff lacks maturity or is otherwise unable to make an informed decision on her own behalf, especially one of the magnitude at issue in this case."        "Court Halts Teen Abortion."
