“Better get you’re coathangers ready liberals,” (sic) Parkersburg City Councilman Eric Barber, an anti-abortion activist,



A West Virginia city councilman seemed to insinuate that women should prepare to have dangerous back alley abortions in light of the confirmation of U.S. Senate confirmed Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court.

“Better get you’re coathangers ready liberals,” (sic) Parkersburg City Councilman Eric Barber, an anti-abortion activist, wrote in a now-deleted Facebook comment to a private group after West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin – a Democrat – announced he would support Kavanaugh’s confirmation. The comment can still be seen thanks to screenshots shared by local residents.

-------

After his “coathangers” comment, residents posted screenshots of other comments Barber has made during his time as a city councilman. In one comment, posted on a video about a young boy who dresses in drag, Barber tagged one local gay rights advocate, writing that he “may be quick to defend this form of child exploitation because he may be one of the many gay men who enjoys watching pre-puberty boys compete in drag shows.”

In another screenshot, he referred to himself as a “head hunter” of “alt left liberals.

Women’s rights groups fear Kavanaugh, a conservative justice whose nomination by President Trump was first approved by the right-wing, anti-abortion Federalist Society, could overturn Roe v. Wade, the 1973 ruling that legalized abortion nationwide. Coat hangers are often cited as a tool that was used to induce unsafe abortions when women did not have access to legal abortions by licensed practicians.

Eric Engle, a local activist, shared a screenshot of the comment and called Barber “the most worthless piece of human garbage I’ve ever encountered.”

UPDATE: 7/18/2017, 6:22 P.M.

Parkersburg City Councilman Eric Barber was arrested and faces charges after filming and harassing a victim and his family during a medical emergency.

Parkersburg Police chief Joseph Martin says officers were called to 902 13th Street to assist in a medical emergency.

Martin says shortly after officers arrived on scene, they found Parkersburg City Councilmen Eric Barber was attempting to take video and pictures of the victim who was being treated.

The criminal complaint states Barber was screaming profanity and inappropriate comments at the victim and his family.

The victim’s family members say they, and officers, repeatedly asked Barber to stop recording and leave the scene.

Anne Walker, the victim’s sister-in-law, says,

"The cops were telling him to... there was so much commotion. The cops were trying to tell him to calm down and get out the way, and to not interfere. And the next thing I know, I see my neighbor go up this way and cops going after him and tackling him.”

6. just goes to show their hatred of women....

that instead of simply hoping a baby is carried to term and born, he actually wants the woman to suffer through a barbaric back ally procedure. it so isn't about "loving children". it is about hating women and relishing in their suffering.

15. That confirms my suspicion

They want women to die in back-alley abortions as punishment from their God. They absolutely despise the idea of women not being properly.

16. Better get your unemployment claims ready, Mr. Barber!

Although I'm not sure future employers would consider "poor grammer" an asset.
