STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. (WordNews.org) Oct. 22, 2012 — Theodore Shulman, a pro-choice activist who in 2010 threatened to kill several pro-life leaders, has been sentenced to 41 months in federal prison, according to Priests for Life.
Shulman, 51, pleaded guilty in May to one count of transmitting a threat to injure another person. The targeted victims named in the case are Father Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, and Princeton University’s Robert George, Priests for Life said.
In January 2010, as the trial of Scott Roeder, a man accused of killing abortionist George Tiller, was under way, Shulman posted a comment on the Catholic news site First Things, in which he said “if Roeder is acquitted, someone will respond by killing” Father Pavone and George.
“I have already publicly forgiven Mr. Shulman and pray for him every day,” Pavone said. “I also renew, with my friend Bill Baird, known as the Father of the Pro-Choice movement, the joint statement we made years ago rejecting hatred and violence in word and deed between those on opposite sides of the abortion issue.”
