Sheriff refuses to stop abortion clinic protesters
CORPUS CHRISTI (AP) — Nueces County
Sheriff James T. Hickey kept his promise not to
stop protesters from blocking abortion clinics —
in fact, he joined a picket and refused to help
clear the way so patients could enter.
“You don’t really need my help, and you know
you don’t,” Hickey said. “The fact of the matter is
you’re killing babies in there.”
Two people were arrested during, the five-
hour demonstration.
Hickey, who drew praise and protest last week
for hanging seven posters in his.department de
picting a dismembered fetus, refused a plea by
Reproductive Services administrator Rachel Var
gas to clear a path so her patients could enter the
clinic Saturday.
“We’re asking you,” Vargas said during a brief
heated exchange with the sheriff. “We’re beg

On Jan. 15, the sherif f said he “would be aid
ing and abetting murder” by stopping protesters
from blocking abortion clinics.
He dismissed criticism from pro-choice sup
porters and law experts who said he was reneg
ing on his oath to protect all citizens, saying he
had “to really answer to a higher law.”

Hickey, who attended the protest in a unoffi

that Corpus Christi police were present for that
purpose and accused her of baiting him.
Hickey told the Corpus Christi Caller-Times
that he had expected Vargas to conf ront him.
“It gave me an opportunity to tell her no to her
face and that made me feel good,” he said.
