GOP N.H. Sheriff Candidate Would Use Deadly Force To Prevent Abortions

9:53 pm, August 22nd, 2012

A Republican man running for Hillsborough County Sheriff in New Hampshire says that if he is elected, he would arrest anyone involved in an abortion.

Sheriff candidate Frank Szabo made the declaration in a press release. When asked to clarify, he doubled down and told a reporter that “Deadly force is the last thing law enforcement should be using, if a citizen’s life is in danger they should be protected. If there is no other choice, that’s what’s needed to protect the citizen.”
