LOS ANGELES, December 13, 2001 (LSN.ca) – The newsletter of the Los Angeles Lay Catholic Mission details a report about the crimes of abortionists compiled by California Right to Life. The report was published in response to a legislative report written by a state senate staffer, entitled Crimes Against Reproductive Rights in California, which alleges that pro-life people are violent, and supplies examples. The Right to Life “Abortion Crime Report” lists a total of 2,297 incidents of pro-abortion violence and illegal activities.
The report then goes on to list crimes committed by abortionists in California by city, citing the original sources of information. The source for much of the information came from the Medical Board of California, which is responsible for licensing and bringing disciplinary action against state physicians. The report records crimes such as murder, attempted murder, manslaughter, torture, kidnapping, rape, stalking, death threats, bomb threats (including false-threat reports from alleged pro-lifers), sex crimes, conspiracy, drug crimes, property crimes, medical crimes and fraud-related crimes.
The Mission newsletter highlights one section of the report where it is revealed that militant pro-abortion activists, Frank Mendiola and David Friedman, created a media frenzy by falsely reporting acts of violence and bomb threats made against them, clinics and pro-abortion legislators by pro-lifers. In Mendiola’s case, the police concluded that he had made the threatening phone calls himself—to which he later confessed. The Los Angeles Times, based on Mendiola’s testimony, even reported the tragic details of an illegal abortion endured by his twin sister. Mendiola later confessed that he had no twin sister.
