NEW YORK (1010 WINS) – The NYPD is investigating threats against Planned Parenthood that were posted to Bronx state Sen. Gustavo Rivera’s Facebook page.
The message reportedly said the group should be “blown up and people that support abortion should be killed.”
Sources tell the New York Post that an aide to the lawmaker called police about the posting, which was traced to Detroit.
Rivera is the ranking Democrat on the state Senate's Health Committee.
