California teen shoots girlfriend for seeking abortion
The good news is that he faces a life sentence for attempted murder. Sadly, his girlfriend is now in a wheelchair for the rest of her life.
17-year-old Jeffrey Cameron FitzHenry shot his girlfriend—identified only as Sara S.—in the neck while she was in a health clinic filling out paperwork to obtain an abortion.
FitzHenry told Sara a week earlier not to have an abortion and that, “If you take something from me, I am going to take something to her from you.” Take something from him? Oh, I didn’t realize that he had claim uterus. Sounds like a real reasonable guy.

I was wondering if any news was going to come from this story. I remember hearing about the girl getting shot, and just the other day, I was wondering if anything had happened with that. I'm glad to hear he's at least facing some serious time. My sympathy is with the young woman.
So thanks for the update!
