On December 5, 1988, Buffalo abortionist Barnett Slepian went wild when several pro-lifers sang Christmas carols outside his home on a public sidewalk. Slepian grabbed a baseball bat and severely injured Ronald Breymeier, 48, by beating him on the head, back, and arms, before smashing out all of the windows on Breymeier’s van.
Slepian surrendered to Town of Amherst police at his home a short time afterwards, and was charged with felony assault and criminal mischief. Abortion clinic owner Marilynn Buckham defended Slepian, telling the Buffalo News “I think it’s [picketing] religious persecution. These ‘good Christians’ don’t respect anyone else’s religion.” Due to this incident, the Amherst Town Board immediately banned the picketing of homes by pro-lifers.
Slepian tragically became a victim of violence himself, shot by a cowardly anti-abortion man who betrayed his convictions by taking the life of another human being. Clinicquotes owners and affiliates vehemently condemn this act of horrible violence. No one who kills another person in cold blood is pro-life. Violence on either side of the abortion debate is contemptible.
