"Better get you're coathangers ready liberals" anti-abortion Parkersburg City Councilman Eric Barber

“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.

Note: This story has been updated; see below near bottom.

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.”

A Florida woman who shared photos of her bruised and bloodied face on social media following a domestic violence attack has gone viral in her native Brazil.

Melissa Gentz, 22, was attacked by socialite boyfriend Erick Bretz Sept. 23 in his downtown Tampa condo tower, according to the Tampa Bay Times.

But the University of South Florida student didn’t shy away from taking her injuries public; three days later, she shared a selfie on Instagram that showed off her massive black-and-blue and bloodshot eyes.

“You know how we usually have a side of our face that we prefer more than the other? I like my left side.

Unfortunately, it’s the side that was severely bruised by violence,” she captioned the image. “Today was the first day in which I felt like passing some mascara and blush on the right side of my face… I won’t hide the marks of my story because NO woman should feel ashamed of (sic) feel blamed for being a victim of domestic violence.”

Bretz, 25, was arrested and booked into the Hillsborough County Jail on charges of domestic battery by strangulation and tampering with a witness, online records show.

He was released days later on a $60,000 bail, and has since pleaded not guilty.

His father owns one of Brazil’s largest grocery chains, and he is also well-known on the Brazilian Motocross Championship circuit, according to the Times.
