Pro-Choice Violence and Illegal Activities in Puerto Rico

San Juan, Puerto Rico

Involuntary Manslaughter (2 incidents) and Criminal Abortion Abortionist Angel Acevado Montalvo botched abortions on Rosael Rodriguez in 1986 and Diane Adams in 1992 so horribly that both women died. The abortionist was prosecuted for one of the botched abortions. The day after he was found guilty in trial, he was back scheduling criminal abortions for women. Reference: News Briefs. "Two Pro-Life Victories In Puerto Rico." HLI Reports, July 1988, page 4. Attempted Murder (3 incidents) and Death Threats (5 incidents) Pro-abortionists from the groups Refuse and Resist and ACT-UP (The AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power) arrived in Puerto Rico during pro-life rescues at abortion mills there. During these times, the vehicles of three pro-lifers were tampered with, to include having tire bolts loosened and brake systems damaged. Additionally, Father Richard Welch and others received death threats by telephone, demanding that they "get the hell out of Puerto Rico, or else."
