This State Representative is Getting Death Threats for Calling Abortion "Greater Than Animal Cruelty""I couldn't imagine anyone ever wanting to harm an animal, it's absolutely disgusting to do so. However, I also couldn't allow a more severe penalty for killing an animal than for killing a human child." -State Representative Tony Tinderholt (Arlington, TX)—[Gospel Herald] State Rep.

When you read and see how abortions are performed, and how they end the life of an innocent child, it amazes me that we allow that," Tinderholt continues, "When we look back over history and we see the cultures that took the lives of children, people are appalled by that. People are going to do that with America, too, and look back one day and say they can't believe we allowed this." The threats—"I hope you die"—have been aimed not only at the lawman in case, but also at his children and wife—simply over equalizing the penalty between those who practice animal cruelty and those who perform partial birth abortions...
