Robert Santella, the San Diego-based abortionist known for his 2016 viral rant against a pro-lifer, died unexpectedly last year at the age of 74. Operation Rescue<\/a> first reported Santella\u2019s death<\/a>, which happened on January 17, 2018. Santella was an abortionist for many years at Family Planning Associates (FPA) in San Diego County, and he also operated a private practice near San Diego State University.<\/p>\n

Santella\u00a0was well known for a disturbing interaction with a pro-lifer outside the FPA abortion facility where he worked. In the video, Santella, dressed in scrubs, approaches the activist brandishing scissors as he professes his love for killing babies.\u00a0\u201cI never listen to Christ,\u201d he says in the video. \u201cI do have a darkened heart. I do, I do. Very much so.\u201d<\/p>\n
