Lubbock County Annexes New Hampshire
“A Republican candidate for Hillsborough County Sheriff said Wednesday that he believes elective abortions are unlawful and he wouldn’t reject the use of deadly force to stop them… [Frank] Szabo said he doesn’t have any background in law enforcement, but he said his business background gives him the experience to run for the position of sheriff.” [WMUR, via TPM]
