WASHINGTON, DC: An anti-abortion organization known as the Pro-Life Action League has mailed over 500 plastic handcuffs to abortion clinics throughout the U.S. along with a postcard depicting the recent arrest of Oklahoma abortionist Naresh Patel and a handwritten message asking, “Could you be next?”
The passively threatening packages were sent out on the 42nd anniversary of the Supreme Court decision on Roe v. Wade, which legalized abortion in each of the 50 states. Members of the Pro-Life Action League favor a full ban on abortion, without any exceptions for rape, incest or medical threats to the life of the mother, and are also opposed to the use of artificial birth control.
The entirety of their message, which was personally written by Pro-Life Action League executive director Eric Scheidler, reads, “Could you be next? If you want to get out of the abortion business, give me a call,” and includes his cell phone number.
“This is a fundamentally corrupting line of work, which is why we see so many abortionists being brought up on charges that are not directly related to abortion. It’s a corrupting business, and there are some abortionists who are just in it for the money and they’re taking advantage of people. Naresh Patel seems to be one of those,” Scheidler told the Christian Post.
Patel was arrested in December and charged with prescribing abortion-inducing drugs to women who were not pregnant, at a cost of $620 each. He is also alleged to have sexually assaulted patients during their abortions and is known to have burned fetuses in a field after aborting them.
“This is just a stunt,” stated Mia Raven, director of legislative affairs for Alabama Reproductive Rights Advocates (ARRA), an abortion rights group. “They like to do things like this for intimidation tactics and to scare clinic workers and escorts.”
However, in an interview with USA Today, Scheidler insisted he was not trying to intimidate anyone, instead claiming the purpose of the mailer was to make abortion providers “think about the company [they] keep in the abortion business.”
“[Patel] was horrible,” Raven told the newspaper in a separate correspondence. “No pro-choice person would ever defend what he did … [but] that’s the kind of thing that happens when abortion is outlawed.”

So this outfit not only opposes abortion under any and all circumstances, which is already far from mainstream thinking, but is equally opposed to birth control. How charming. One can only wonder why the media provides a public forum to such deranged people.
