A Bethlehem man faces charges after he put a gun in his girlfriend's mouth during an argument over whether she should have an abortion, court records say.

Jonathan Stock, 28, of the 3300 block of East Boulevard was arguing with Tammy Smith because he wanted her to get an abortion, records say. Stock initially pushed Smith against a wall and choked her, lifting her off her feet, court records say. Stock then threw Smith to the ground, grabbed her hair and pointed a .380-caliber pistol her in mouth and head and said he was going to kill her, records say.

Stock eventually let Smith go and she was able to run from the house. Police were called and Stock was arrested and charged with two counts of aggravated assault, two counts of simple assault, making terroristic threats and recklessly endangering another person. He was sent to Northampton County Prison in lieu of $75,000 bail

Ministry of Truth

A sleaze named Jack Huberman (aka the quotable atheist) wrote a book that claimed Rush Limbaugh said Martin Luther King Jr's assassin (James Earl Ray) should get the medal of honor. Trouble was Huberman did not attribute when or where Rush allegedly said this racist remark and still refuses to answer, because Rush never said this. So Huberman is a liar. But a lie goes half way around the world before the truth gets its shoes on, so CNN, MSNBC (including specifically Rachael Maddow) NYT and the major broadcast stations have all repeated this calumny. It's a sad day that totally false remarks, lies, can be repeated by the Ministry of Truth; the mainstream media including NBC, ABC, CBS and CNN, and of course the New York Times.

The sad truth to this story now that the lies have been exposed is many still maintain Rush is a racist, basically because he criticized Eagles quarterback Donavan McNab. That's a pretty scary standard.

Rush Limbaugh has always advocated the Pro-Life position strongly. These anti-life bigots should not only be sued, but we should all avoid helping them profit from lies by boycotting these anti-life news outlets!

Rush: "Looking toward the future, Limbaugh expressed optimism that Americans, perhaps many yet to be born, would reject the pro-choice rhetoric, saying it evinces a cavalier attitude toward life itself... Every generation has thought from the beginning of time ... it's living in the 'last days,' ... yet it's never doomed and it's never finished, and it's never over with, and why is that? Well, because there's always a new generation or two that have yet to be born that don't know any of this negative stuff. And they eventually do get born despite the pro-abortion crowd, and they grow up and they decide they want a certain life for themselves that may not include some of all this rotgut that current generations are facing."
