Pro-Choice Violence and Illegal Activities in Utah

Naples Provo Salt Lake City Naples, Utah

Attempted Murder, Solicitation to Commit Murder, Felony Burglary, Unlawful Sexual Activity with a Minor, Violating a Protective Order, Criminal Mischief, Theft (2 counts) and Obstruction of Justice According to his father, 21-year-old Aaron Nathaniel Harrison was headed for big trouble. He got busted for petty theft. He began having sexual relationships with underaged girls. He was convicted of third-degree felony unlawful sexual activity with a minor for having sexual intercourse with a 15-year-old girl in 2008. Then he violated a protective order for calling the same girl, who gave birth to his child in 2009. He was convicted of third-degree felony burglary and misdemeanor counts of theft and criminal mischief for driving two others to a storage facility, where they stole items from ten units in April of 2009. The same year, he was convicted of obstructing justice for assisting others who had stolen a pickup truck and tried to dispose of the evidence. Finally, in May of 2009, Harrison really got everyone's attention. He met a 17-year-old pregnant girl at a 7-11 convenience store in Naples, Utah, and she offered him $150 to make her miscarry. He said that "She started to ask me if I knew anyone to kill the kid for her and I said, "No, I didn't"." So he took her to the basement of his parent's house, where he kicked her in the stomach five times and bit her neck. The seven-month preborn child survived and was born in August 2009. The girl pleaded no contest to a charge of second-degree felony criminal solicitation to commit murder, and she was placed in confinement until she is 21. Harrison pleaded guilty to a charge of second-degree felony attempted murder. On November 23, 2009, 8th District Judge A. Lynn Payne ordered Harrison to serve up to five years in prison for the beating. Judge Payne said that Harrison's conduct in the beating case was "horrible beyond description" and said he had "a remarkable disregard for human life. I don't think words can describe the kind of depraved conduct you entered into in trying to take the life of a child."

If Harrison had only planned ahead, he could have been rich, adored by heartless people, and esteemed as a pillar of his community. If only he had gone to medical school and become an abortionist, he could have had all of this instead of sitting in prison for doing what abortionists do for a living ... Reference: Melinda Rogers.

Solicitation to Commit Murder and Witness Tampering Mario Garcia-Castro is like so many other pro-choice men he likes to have his fun, but when the natural consequences of his activities occur, he will try his best to escape his responsibilities, even if it means murder. Garcia-Castros girlfriend was pregnant, and tried to hire a friend to beat her so badly that she would miscarry. A witness warned the woman to stay off the street because something bad might happen to her. Garcia-Castro told the witness to lie to police and say it was all a joke. Police arrested Garcia-Castro on May 26, 2010, and charged him with felony criminal solicitation to commit murder and felony witness tampering.

Capital Murder (2 counts) [Farmington] On January 15, 2001, Roger Martin MacGuire murdered his pregnant ex-wife Susan at the Layton insurance office where she worked. MacGuire had learned that his ex-wife was pregnant by her new boyfriend and that they were planning to wed. The morning of the slaying, the defendant told a co-worker he was going to kill his ex-wife. Soon after, MacGuire went to her office, where she picked up the phone and threatened to call the police. MacGuire later told police he "lost it." He went to his car and retrieved a newly purchased .380-caliber handgun, then returned to the office and started shooting. Susan MacGuire was struck in the back of the head, the left arm and the abdomen. MacGuire told police he meant only to frighten Susan, and claimed the gun "just went off." Davis County Attorney Melvin Wilson said that the number of shots fired and their location two struck Susan in the abdomen show MacGuire's intent to kill both Susan and her preborn child. Following the shooting, MacGuire confessed to a friend, who accompanied MacGuire to the Riverdale Police Department. Flagging down an officer in the parking lot, MacGuire blurted: "I just killed my wife." On January 7, 2002, MacGuire tried to escape double homicide charges by arguing that the preborn child he shot was not yet able to survive outside the womb and thus was not a "person" under the law. But State Judge Michael Allphin said the 1983 law which deems the slaying of an "unborn child" murder applies also to children in the womb who are not yet viable. Judge Allphin agreed with prosecutors that

the definition of a "person" in reproductive rights cases is not relevant in a criminal context. He said that "Reproductive rights cases are simply inapplicable to restrict the state's interest in protecting unborn life." Charged with two counts of capital murder, MacGuire avoided a possible death-penalty conviction by pleading guilty to a single count of capital murder. He was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. References: "Utah Judge Rules Slaying of "Unborn Child" is Murder Even Before Viability."

First-Degree Felony Rape of a Child (2 counts), Sexual Abuse of a Child (50 incidents) and Forced Abortion [West Valley City] This is another example of the dozens of cases described in this database where child molesters find that abortion is their best friend. It allows them to erase the physical evidence of their crimes and continue to molest their victims. Abortion mills almost never report such molestation. In fact, prochoice groups routinely battle any attempt to make abortion clinics mandatory reporters so that they would be required to report such molestation.

In 1995, 33-year-old Teodoro Gonzalez began to sexually abuse and rape his eight-year-old stepdaughter. She became pregnant when she was twelve, but miscarried at about 15 weeks, wrapped her little unborn child in boxer shorts, and buried him outside their apartment. In March 2000, the little girl again became pregnant, and Gonzalez forced her to have an abortion. Nobody at the abortion mill asked any questions, and she went back home with her rapist. Court documents showed that Gonzalez raped and sexually abused the girl more than fifty times. On April 30, 2001, Gonzalez pleaded to first-degree felony rape of a child. On July 9, 2001, Third District Judge Sheila McCleve gave him the maximum prison sentence of 15 years to life, ordered him to pay for the girls counseling, and said that he would be deported upon the completion of his sentence. The judge also ordered Gonzalez to reimburse the state for extradition expenses incurred after he fled to California. Judge McCleve told Gonzalez that "This is just a horrible way to behave. Mr. Gonzalez, I don't believe you have any comprehension in the least about what a horrible thing you did to another human being in taking advantage of her the way you did." Judge McCleve also spoke to the victim, now 14, saying that "I'm sure there will be hard times for you, overcoming memories. It is not your fault. It is not your fault in any way." Prosecutor James Cope said that "This is just an awful case. This happens lots and it happens often. The little girl is afraid to tell anybody, and he had great power over her." Of course, nobody thought about investigating the abortion mill that made the little girls ordeal much longer than it otherwise might have been. References: W.V.

This database includes information and evidence on literally scores of people who could not make a living doing anything but abortions. Failing in everything else they try, they sink to the filthy bottom of the barrel, where killing babies for a living just seems like the most natural thing in the world.

Apparently, West Points motto Duty, Honor, Country didnt sink in for 1987 graduate Nicole Irene Riley.

In July 1990, Riley conspired with two enlisted women in her company to commit forgery, fraud, larceny and criminal impersonation. The objective of this ring of conspirators was to steal as much merchandise as possible from local jewelry stores. All of the conspirators worked at the 50th Ordnance Company at Fort Carson, Colorado. They began by stealing Social Security numbers from members of their Company who had been reassigned to other units. Then they traveled to the nearby Gordons Jewelers and Bailey, Banks and Biddle Jewelers and filled out instant credit applications by assuming these soldiers identities, purchased nearly $4,000 in jewelry, watches and baubles, intending to let the departed members of their company pay for all of it. . All three women were subjected to general courts-martial after being arrested. On July 10, 1991, the Staff Judge Advocate at Fort Carson recommended 30 months in a military jail, forfeiture of all pay and allowances during this period, demotion to private, and dishonorable discharge from the Army. Riley actually spent about one year in a military stockade. When she had completed her sentence, Riley decided to apply to the University of Utah Medical School. She lied on her application, saying that she had completed her tour of duty and left the military with numerous decorations, a multitude of experiences, and friends spanning the globe. She never mentioned that part of her multitude of experiences included a year of incarceration in a federal military prison. When she graduated in 2002, she immediately began practicing in a branch of medicine that was commensurate with her abilities she began doing abortions. In September 2010, Rileys Maryland medical license was suspended after she gruesomely botched an illegal third-trimester abortion in Elkton, Maryland, part of abortionist Steven Chase Brighams illegal abortion racket. On only her second day of work, Riley perforated the patients uterus and pulled out part of her intestine. Showing a callous and utter disregard for the welfare of the patient, Riley first proposed wheeling the semi-conscious and heavily bleeding woman to an emergency room two blocks away in a

wheelchair, but instead persuaded Brigham to drive them there in his private vehicle. Once at the hospital, Rileys suspicious behavior further delayed emergency care for the critically injured woman, who was later airlifted to Johns Hopkins University Medical Center in Baltimore for emergency surgery required to save her life. The Maryland Medical Board charged Riley with fraudulently attempting to obtain a medical license, unprofessional conduct, aiding an unqualified person in the practice of medicine, and lying on her medical board license application. She had tried to conceal her unsavory past, including imprisonment and dishonorable discharge, from the Board. She comically claimed that her military records were sealed due to her top secret security clearance (which she of course never had), and then by claiming that her records were lost in a fire.

Nicola Riley, who held a top secret clearance, and who left the military with numerous decorations, a multitude of experiences, and friends spanning the globe. Oh, wait, maybe not On April 15, 2011, abortionist Riley surrendered her Wyoming medical license, and shortly thereafter, had her application to practice medicine in Virginia turned down. Then she returned to Utah, where she continued to perform abortions, despite her long record of criminal activity and botched abortions, something that is simply incomprehensible to people who really care about womens lives. Cheryl Sullenger, Senior Policy Advisor for Operation Rescue, said that If Nicola Riley is too dangerous and unfit to practice in Maryland, Wyoming, and Virginia, it is unfathomable how she can continue to practice with the blessing of the Utah Division of Occupational Professional Licensing. They are failing in their duty to protect the public and need to be held accountable for this gross lack of concern for public safety. Finally, Utah medical authorities acted, and banned Riley from doing abortions in that state until a final order has been issued in the State of Maryland concerning disciplinary action filed against her there.
