Abortion Arsonist Set Fire to Facility Because Ex-Girlfriend Was to Abort His Child There Next Day

Sergio Baca and Chad Altman have been sentenced to 46 and to 40 months in federal prison, respectively. They must also split restitution of the damages caused by the fire that they set to the Albuquerque Abortion facility December 6, 2007, which totaled $796,531.92.

They set the building ablaze because Baca's ex-girlfriend was going to have an abortion there the next day. Baca reportedly hoped to stop his ex-girlfriend from aborting his child.

The pair had no connection to the pro-life movement.

U.S. Attorney Greg Fouratt commented on the crime after the hearing, saying that it "wasn't a case about religious views. Let's call them what they were, two knuckleheads who were seeking to deter one woman from getting an abortion of pregnancy that was caused by one of those two men."

Federal Judge John Conway told the pair. "I don't know why you did this. This is the dumbest thing you could have done in your life."

"It was a careless act," said Baca before sentencing, saying he was sorry that he carried it out.
