Theodore Shulman, the man who sent death threats to me and several other pro-life leaders, has entered a guilty plea in Federal Court to an incident involving threats to Father Frank Pavone and Princeton Professor Robert George. He faces up to 51 months in prison. According to the New York Daily news:
The plea deal includes an agreement that prosecutors would not charge Shulman for possession of cyanide and two other deadly substances at the time of his arrest.
Read the rest here.
The cyanide and other deadly substances are worrisome, especially since Shulman has evidently had graduate training in either medicine or biology. He is a highly intelligent man who represented the proaborts very, very well when not engaging in threats. Of course, his obsession with promoting abortion led him to explain away the scientific literature that showed the link between abortion and breast cancer. His intelligence and talents as a scientist have been tragically squandered in the service of the greatest evil to grip this nation since slavery.
Shulman’s mother is the celebrated feminist author, Alix Kates Shulman who authored Memoirs of an Ex-Prom Queen, a feminist manifesto. Shulman’s mother aborted four of his siblings. Two before him and two after him. That’s a terrible family legacy to grow up within.
In what I have read by his mother, she mentions his sister but not Theodore.
There is no celebration or joy in my home today. A relatively short sentence for a man who has sent threats to many and who has been found in possession of three deadly substances is a disquieting reality. Equally disquieting is the thought that this brilliant man has destroyed himself, gripped as he has been by a terrible evil; perhaps too, by the emptiness wrought by four missing siblings.
Theodore needs our prayers, and plenty of them. Absent a solid spiritual and ethical formation, the power of our medical and scientific technology will twist, distort, and destroy those entrusted with it’s secrets and protocols. Shulman is living proof.
If tonight many of us are breathing a little easier, I feel nothing but emptiness and sorrow for a fellow scientist my age, whose mother butchered four of his siblings. I can’t imagine such a horrific absence of love, such cold and callous evil and how that factors into a human being’s development.
Pray for Theodore, for his mother, for their conversion and healing. It’s all so very, very sad.
Coming Home 
Whenever I read things such as what you’ve written about Shulman, his ordeal, how he has impacted you and your family, I cannot help but think about St. Paul’s letter to the Ephesians: “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.” What you describe regarding Shulman, his mother, and his life, seems to paint a very clear picture of a man infested and accosted by very real demons. Yes, Dr. Nadal, we must pray for him and for his family. Reading your post gave me the same feeling I got when I viewed the horrific video about No Mother’s Day. There is such a darkness in the world…but the darkness shall never conquer the light. You and yours will be the intention of my Memorare before I go to bed tonight! Count on it.
Thank you, Emerald. The prayers are everything!
This is heart breaking!
Your compassionate, sorrowful and prayerful response are deeply moving! My prayers are united with yours!
God bless you!

I am so, so sorry about all of this. I can feel the weight of your sorrow in your words. I know you’ve been through the wringer with the illness of your best friend, and these threats to you and others that you care about. These are dark times. But we do know how the story comes out, and we know who wins. We have to pray, endure, and work for the kingdom. And keep the faith. I’m praying for you all tonight.
A friend and blog partner and I had some interaction with Theo. I never had any threats from him, and I don’t think my blog partner did, either, but I’ve been wondering about this, and I feel that we came a bit too close. He certainly was hostile.
Thanks for posting the update. He’s in my prayers.
Amen. I agree with both of you. This problem goes so much further than human will because the attacks against the innocent preborn human beings and those who live and work to defend and protect them, has been building for many generational years. This particular grouping , Ephesians 6:10-20, is one of my favorite, because when I read it, I am keenly aware that only through the Grace of God, am I able to pray for my ‘enemies.’ For a human being with a stubborn human will, it is at times, extremely hard to do with whole heart. To me personally, to be able to pray for them, especially those in the abortion industry and those who support the continual barrage of insidious lies of the culture of death, is nothing less than a miracle on earth. The time has come to put on ‘your whole Armor of God!

I will pray for him and his mom
I pray that while he is in prison he will be a captive audience for the Holy Spirit to change his heart. He wouldn’t be the first to be arrested by the Lord while in prison.
I am glad you and everyone else he threatened is safe. God bless you. Praying also that his family find the only true freedom.
He posted at Jill Stanek’s and played the game of never letting you know his his sex(gender). He? wanted you to view him? as a “scientist” involved with the creation of a abortifacient(mifepristone), which always led to a discussion of opera and Mephistopheles. In the discussion I had with Shulman, I named him? Farmer Vincent from Motel Hell. He? was “just keeping the planet beautiful” by his abortion activities. On looking back, his lack of humility in being wrong about anything led to a discussion that Mifepristone was a poison, to which he felt was totally moral.

Such people absolutely deserve and need our prayers. Love the Enemy but watch your back is smart advice.
