Second-Degree Murder (2 counts), Abuse of a Corpse (2 counts) and Hindering Prosecution
This horrible murder is a great example of how far the “pro-choice” mentality can go when aconscienceless pair of thugs adopts it.25-year-old Daniel C. Rondeau was having sex with a 15-year-old girl, Antoinette Strope, and gother pregnant. He did not want to be charged with statutory rape. Besides, he had already moved on andwas having sex with another teenaged girl.On February 15, 1993, he recruited a friend, Joseph K. Poette, to assist him in eliminating all of theevidence. They strangled Antoinette to death in Rondeau’s apartment and then joked about the murder asthey dragged her body into the bathroom and cut it up into six pieces with a hacksaw. Then they stuffedthe pieces into five garbage bags and buried them.Troy detectives agreed that this was the most gruesome murder they could recall. The Troy Chief of Police, William Miller, said "Twenty-seven years here and I don't recall anything like this."

Rondeau pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and was sentenced to 25 years to life in prison. A jury convicted Poette at trial of the same charge. Judge Patrick McGrath called Rondeau a “menace tosociety” in handing down the maximum sentence for second-degree murder. Mary Rondeau pleadedguilty to hindering prosecution for providing the hacksaw and helping to wipe up the blood.During Rondeau’s trial, neighbors testified that he beat and whipped various women to the point of screaming in his apartment, and his ex-wife said that he would tie her up and force her to have sex withother men. Others said that Rondeau and Poette had once bought rope and gloves for a planned attack on a romantic rival of Poette, but the plan was foiled.

Second-Degree Felony Conspiracy and Fourth-Degree Felony Conspiracy
[Schenectady]“Pro-choicer” Alexei S. Ramey’s girlfriend was more than eight months pregnant — but he was notat all happy about becoming a father. So he attempted to hire someone to stab her in the belly, and saidthat he did not care whether or not his girlfriend died during the attack.But this guy definitely belongs in the “dumb criminal” category.An undercover investigator posed as a volunteer assailant, and met with Ramey, who offered him$500 and a brand-new washing machine to do the dirty deed, and gave him a photograph and the addressof the 19-year-old woman.District Attorney Robert Carney said he had never seen a murder for hire involving “hardware.”Police charged Ramey with second-degree felony conspiracy and fourth-degree felony conspiracy.Peter J.

Assault, Death Threats (2 incidents), Destruction of Property (2 incidents), Vandalism andHarassment (7 incidents)
Brian Heitner talks about a particularly violent pro-abortion group;As a founder of a new pro-life non-violent group on the campus of the State University of New York at Albany back in the mid 90s, we were told of a death threat from a group called NWROC (National Women's Rights Organizing Coalition) aimed at the founders of thenew pro-life group. My vice president, Marc, received a call from one of the collegenewspaper reporters saying that a guy from NWROC called up demanding information onwho started the pro-life group so that he could kill us. As a result, we notified ConcernedCitizens For Human Life (a pro-life group helping us), who in returned warned the collegethat our lives should be protected by the University, otherwise it could be held liable. Areporter from the
Times Union
, a local paper, took our pictures and later went to get NWROC's position on the incident. There was a small article in the
Times Union
about theincident.Multiple times members of NWROC harassed members of Concerned Citizens for Life (there is anamateur video on this). This took place in front of Planned Parenthood in Albany, New York. One incidentoccurred when one of the members of Concerned Citizens for Life had to bring his or her son to the protestand a member of NWROC attacked the child, who had to be taken to a hospital as a result.In Deer Park, New York, there is a pro-life center which tries to educate people about the issue of abortion as well as providing support for women who go through with their pregnancies. The first time Itried to find the place, I missed it because I was looking for some sign or evidence of a pro-life or abortionalternative center. After not being able to find it, I called up on a pay phone and got better directions. WhenI arrived at the place, I asked a receptionist why they didn't have a sign. She replied that there is a group of violent pro-abortion people who have thrown rocks through our windows, harassed volunteers and clients,and threatened to set the place on fire.NWROC is a violent pro-abortion, pro-homosexual group whose members have been arrested numeroustimes for violent incidents. NWROC's logo is a female symbol with a fist through it, and their slogan is "NOFREE SPEECH FOR FASCISTS!"
