CACN, Spring, 1999
\nAbortionist Eric Schaff<\/p>\n
Featured in Rochester\u2019s Democrat and Chronicle (25 April) as a benevolent \u201cchampion of the underdog\u201d under the byline, \u201cAbortion Provider Refuses to Hide.\u201d<\/p>\n
Why such praise? He was a pediatrician specializing in \u201cadolescent medicine.\u201d Lo and behold, \u201cEach year about 300 of his patients became pregnant – and half wanted to [slaughter their babies].\u201d And, being a perspicuous fellow, he perceived that \u201cTeens are a voiceless segment of our society – they are minors, women. They don\u2019t have transportation. They don\u2019t have money.\u201d How, then, would they eliminate their babies? How could he help?<\/p>\n
He could become an abortionist! \u201cFour years ago, he became certified to perform surgical\u201d baby killings. He provides the \u201cservice\u201d for free \u201cwhen they can\u2019t pay.\u201d<\/p>\n
Yes, a philanthropic abortionist he his. He cares! A community man, \u201che also led local campaigns aimed at reducing teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. In 1991, he spearheaded Condom Sense, a free condom distribution program.\u201d<\/p>\n
And he is a scientists too! \u201cHe is a leading researcher in testing the controversial French abortion pill RU-486.\u201d<\/p>\n
But our kind servant of humanity does not have peace of mind. \u201cSo unnerved was he by the sniper slaying of [Abortionist] Barnett Slepian . . . that Schaff requested the protection of federal marshals and spent thousands of dollars on home security. . . The periodic Sunday morning pickets infuriate Schaff.\u201d He says, \u201cWhat is the purpose of their coming to my house? Are they there to intimidate me? To pray for me?\u201d<\/p>\n
(Perhaps imprecatorily. The fall will come again. And terminated abortionist providers still lurk here and there.)<\/p>\n
\u201cSchaff is already thinking ahead to November – and Remembrance Day.\u201d He observes the fact that \u201cThe Slepian shooting sent the message, \u2018We can reach you anywhere. We can reach you in your home.\u201d (Indeed, the same place abortionists reach womb children.)<\/p>\n
Schaff says, \u201cMy wife wishes I\u2019d do something else, but she knows I won\u2019t change . . . The best I can do is to increase security to become a less vulnerable target. But Slepian was shot three weeks ahead of time, so I\u2019ll have to be more conscious the whole time – and the rest of my life.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
