Pro-Choice Violence and Illegal Activities in Alaska

Anchorage Fairbanks Kodiak Nome Anchorage, Alaska

Attempted Murder, Assault, Arson and Theft This database documents a number of cases where cowardly pro-choice men have demanded that their girlfriends get abortions. When the women refuse, the men slip easily-available abortifacient drugs into their drinks or food. Sometimes the men grind up the RU-486 abortion pill and slip it into a drink; other times they use drugs intended to make cattle miscarry. This sneaky attack is typical of the selfish and cowardly pro-choice mentality, and is significant because no national pro-choice group has ever condemned them.

Scott and Caylinn Boie were expecting a baby, and Caylinn was very happy about it. Unfortunately, her husband, an Airman First Class stationed at Elmendorf Air Force Base in Alaska, was not. He demanded that she have an abortion, but she refused. So he obtained some Misoprostol pills, which are used as part of an RU-486 abortion procedure, crushed them, and put them into his wife's food. She miscarried about a week later. On May 4, 2009, Boie was sentenced under a court martial to almost ten years in a military prison for inducing a miscarriage by poisoning his wife's food. He was convicted under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) and the Unborn Victims of Violence Act, which states that any person who causes "the death of, or bodily injury to a child who is in utero" is guilty of a federal offense. Evidence introduced during Boie's court martial showed that his computer had searched for "at-home abortion methods." Boie was originally charged with "intentionally killing" the unborn child, which carries a maximum sentence of life without parole, but was convicted of the lesser charge of "attempting to kill" his unborn child. Boie was also found guilty of assault on his wife, and theft and arson of a truck in an unrelated

Sexual Abuse of a Minor (26 counts) This is another of many cases where abortion mills proved to be a child sexual molester's best friend. For eight years, 39-year-old Richard Daniel Schaerer sexually abused two young girls. When one of the girls got pregnant, he simply took her to an abortion mill, where no questions were asked. The abortuary staff simply took his money, aborted the young girl, and sent her back home to be abused by him some more. On December 20, 2006, Schaerer was arraigned on 20 counts of sexual abuse of a minor in the first degree and six counts of sexual abuse of a minor in the second degree. He confessed these crimes to police. Reference: Jason Moore. "Anchorage Man Charged with Sexually Abusing Minors." KTUU Television News [Anchorage, Alaska], December 20, 2006.

Attempted Murder and First-Degree Attempted Assault On December 18, 2010, Orane A. Green and his wife, who lived on Fort Wainwright, were discussing the state of their marriage. Without warning, he punched her in the stomach and then threw her onto the floor. Then Green tried to squeeze and twist his wifes abdomen in an attempt to cause an abortion. Police charged Green with attempted murder and first-degree attempted assault. Under Alaska law, the attempted murder of an unborn child carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison (unless you are an abortionist, in which case, you can make a pile of money). Alaska Statutes 11.41 establishes the crimes of murder of an unborn child, manslaughter of an unborn child, criminally negligent homicide of an unborn child, and assault of an unborn child. Alaska Statutes 11.81.900(b) defines unborn child as a member of species Homo sapiens, at any stage of development, who is carried in the womb. The local press and police did not give the name of Greens wife. Reference: Steven Ertelt. Alaska Man Charged With Forced Abortion in Attacking Wife. LifeNews.com, December 20, 2010.

Nome, Alaska
Sexual Abuse (250 incidents) According to sworn affidavits and police and witness statements, the following events occurred in and around Nome, Alaska. On June 16, 2004, an unidentified woman filed a sexual abuse lawsuit against Father James Poole. The lawsuit alleged that he molested her more than one hundred times, beginning at the age of twelve, got her pregnant at the age of fourteen, and then told her to "get rid of the baby." She subsequently had an abortion. The lawsuit stated that "Father Poole only stopped his molestation, abuse and pursuit of Jane Doe 2 when, at age 20, she was able to tell him that she never wanted to be alone with him again." The lawsuit alleged that Father Poole would take her to a private, secluded area where he kissed her, touched her and engaged in heavy petting. By the time she was 14, they were having sexual intercourse. When she became pregnant in 1976, he suggested she blame her father for the pregnancy. Another woman had filed a lawsuit against Father Poole in March 2004, alleging that he had kissed and fondled her more than one hundred times over a seven-year period of time starting when she was just ten years old. Shortly after this second lawsuit was filed, another woman, Patricia Hess, came forward and also accused Poole of sexually molesting her while she was a teenager in Nome. Hess has filed a formal complaint with the Catholic Church. Father Poole was well-known as a "relaxed" and "progressive" priest. He probably never gave pro-life homilies, for obvious reasons. People Magazine even called him "Western Alaska's hippest DJ." References: Nicole Tsong. "Nome Priest Accused of Sex Abuse." Anchorage Daily News, June 17, 2004; Chris Knap and Rachanee Srisi Vasdi.
