KINGSTON, Ont., July 30, 2002 (LSN.ca) – Tanya Meyers, 22, of Kingston, is 10 weeks pregnant and wants to abort her unborn child because of “verbal and emotional abuse” and threats of bodily harm by her ex-boyfriend, the child’s father. But John Stachokus, 27, of Plains, Pennsylvania, filed an injunction in his county court to stop the abortion, and wants full custody of his unborn child. It is unclear what effect Mr. Stachokus expects a Plains county injunction to have in Ontario. Meyers and Stachokus conceived the child during better times. She says their relationship remained stable at first, but tensions began when she wanted to “explore her options” including abortion. “He was putting me through verbal and emotional abuse and threats of bodily harm,” she claims, adding she just wants to move on: “I am prepared to go to jail if that’s what it takes.” To read coverage in the Citizen’s Voice newspaper see: https://www.citizensvoice.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=4893353&BRD=2259&PAG=461&dept_id=455154&rfi=6
