Frank Szabo wants the people of Hillsborough County, N.H., to know that if they elect him as sheriff this year, he will do whatever it takes to stop doctors from performing abortions even if that means using deadly force.
In an interview on Wednesday with local television station WMUR, Szabo said he believed sheriffs were granted special powers under the Constitution. That means, he said, he would be empowered to arrest or even use deadly force against doctors for providing legal abortions for women.
I would hope that it wouldnt come to that, as with any situation where someone was in danger, Szabo said. But again, specifically talking about elective abortions and late term abortions, that is an act that needs to be stopped.
He clarified it did not apply to cases in which the mothers life was in danger. Thats a medical decision. Thats out of the area Im talking about, he said.
