Federal indictment for 'pro-choice terrorist'

Theodore Shulman threat

An abortion advocate jailed in New York on charges of terroristic threats against pro-life leaders has been indicted.
 
The FBI has charged 49-year-old Theodore Shulman with six counts of communicating interstate threats against pro-lifers.

"Finally, this self-called 'pro-choice terrorist,' Ted Shulman, has been indicted for several death threats against pro-life leaders, including myself, and...he will probably spend a very long time behind bars," reports Operation Rescue's Troy Newman. "I hope it sends a clear message to those who perpetrate violence against peaceful, non-violent pro-life people."

And Newman notes numerous violent incidents directed at pro-lifers nationwide, including "the death of Jim Pouillion two years ago, the throwing of rocks [and] Molotov cocktails, the crashing of windows, our office was broken into [and] assaults on pro-lifers around the country."

So the Operation Rescue president is hopeful that the latest incident will encourage federal authorities and others to start taking the issue seriously and understand that those in the movement deserve the same protection awarded to anyone else.
