Erlyndon Joseph Lo, the "Undisputed World Champion of the Abortion Debate"



So what do you do if you're Erlyndon Joseph Lo, The Undisputed World Champion of the Abortion Debate and a devout Catholic entitled under your religious beliefs to use deadly force at will, after you 1) graduate from the Southern Methodist University law school, 2) take the New York bar exam, 3) go to the Southwestern Women’s Surgery Center with a receipt, demanding to find out if your [possibly imaginary] wife had an abortion, and 4) sue the U.S. Supreme Court justices, asking the justices to render abortion illegal and for $999 trillion in damages and $1,000/hour for attorney’s fees?

You file a Temporary Restraining Order against the law enforcement officers who will be responding when you go to the Southwestern Women’s Surgery Center and start offing its patients and employees, of course.

I took the time to read Mr. Lo's site (oh the things I do for you people!) and my impression is that what we have here is an unfortunate (not to mention conducive to mass murder sprees) mix of propaganda from Focus on the Family and a mentally unstable person:

Something that is bad is when I heard on the radio on Focus on the Family with Dr. James Dobson a girl who survived an attempted abortion. I'm not a doctor. I can only imagine what kinds of acids doctors use to dissolve babies in, like dropping an Alka-Seltzer in a clear cup of water watching the thin white circular tablet fizz and clearly dissolve into the water, to kill the baby. I think the acid is or acids are yellow. For now, for lack of a better term, I'm going to say sulfuric acid. Well, whatever the toxic substance, there was this one girl who survived that attempted murder. She was dropped into that poisonous, toxic, ultra-hazardous liquid. Fortunately, she survived. Now, when you listen to her talk, you can hear her gargling so to speak, talking as if she survived being dropped into yellow, burning, sulfuric acid. It's nasty. I feel bad for her.


I'm inclined to think that Mr. Lo is a lawyer only in his imagination but who knows? One thing we do know for sure, from the FBI press release, is that the maximum penalty for the crimes Mr. Lo is charged with is only six years in prison. Assuming he's found guilty, and in the absence of a proper mental health evaluation and treatment, it's disturbing to contemplate the possibility that Mr. Lo will be able to resume planning and carrying out his religious murder fantasies in a few years.

Have you stopped to question why he would knowingly tell on himself? Do you realize the statement he's making? Do you realize that by him being arrested, he proved willing to take action even if he set himself up so that he would be prevented from taking action.

By virtue of the fact that he did what he did proves to me that he was making a statement, and he made his statement loud and clear. We cannot sit idly by while innocent people are just getting legally executed on a daily basis for no other reason than the mother's choice of convenience, right in our own neighborhoods.

It's a powerful statement, one very similar to that of the African American struggle for equality that called for non-violent protest and ignoring the hypocritical rules that demeaned black people.

He committed no violence, he made a non-violent protest in the way that he knew how and a way that would garner attention from the complacent masses.

First, he did not "tell on himself", he asked for a TRO against police, which led court clerks to tell on him. As I mentioned in my post, I did question his action and my impression is that he his mentally unstable.

Second, there's no need to divine meaning from his TRO request. He already stated quite clearly on his site that his religion allows him to kill people at will and that he intends to act on that.

By virtue of the fact that he did what he did proves to me that he was making a statement, and he made his statement loud and clear. We cannot sit idly by while innocent people are just getting legally executed on a daily basis for no other reason than the mother's choice of convenience, right in our own neighborhoods.

So then you support taking action against the government for forcing innocent people to carry pregnancies to term, yes?

On a serious note, please define "convenience" in this context and show how undergoing a safe and effective medical procedure which significantly reduces a person's risk of morbidity and mortality fits that definition.

It's a powerful statement, one very similar to that of the African American struggle for equality that called for non-violent protest and ignoring the hypocritical rules that demeaned black people.

Stating that you want to kill people because of your religious beliefs is, indeed, a powerful statement, in a terrorist threat kind of way. As to the African-American struggle, I couldn't agree more. Because nothing says "equality" more than having the government subject you to an increased risk of death just because you happen not to, you know, worship the proper way/god.

He committed no violence, he made a non-violent protest in the way that he knew how and a way that would garner attention from the complacent masses.

Again, there's a need for you to define something, namely "non-violent." Because, in the real world, a request for a TRO against the police officers who'll be dispatched to protect the perfect strangers you intend to kill and non-violent protest just don't go together.
