Rochester Pro-Choice Coalition Condemns
Local Man's Actions Against Abortion Protesters

April 23, 1999

"We condemn the action of James Krentel who was arrested Wednesday for pretending to shoot at abortion protesters at Genesee Hospital," stated Rochester Pro-Choice spokeswoman Barbara Moore.  "We are especially alarmed that he had rifles in his car.

"Violence in any form, including the threat of violence to scare protesters, is not the way to solve differences over abortion," continued Moore.  "The Rochester Pro-Choice Coalition is committed to non-violence.

"We are thankful for the hospital employees who first noticed Krentel's actions and the swift response by Rochester Police," stated Moore.
