The guy himself said he understood abort to mean terminate Since no other definition would make sense literally, metaphorically, or figuratively to a living adult, we'll have to go with the actor's professed definition. You can't "remove" a man from himself, so that makes no sense. So did he mean terminate(END??)Obama the person or terminate(END??)his presidency? The former, which is what he wrote, certainly sounds like a threat. He's a jack-ass and needs to be more clear before he draws attention to himself trying to sound bright with such potentially controversial protests. The SS and other agencies have a file on him now. As I said, he's lucky Boss Hogg sympathized and returned the sign. A more forward thinking authority may have taken the nutjob more seriously and tossed him in jail while they investigate. -- The officer misinterpreted the sign as threatening, said Capt. Steve McCool, of the Oklahoma City Police Department, and took the sign, which read "Abort Obama, not the unborn." Chip Harrison said he was driving to work when a police car followed him for several miles and then signaled for him to pull over. ''I pulled over, knowing I hadn't done anything wrong," Harrison said in a recent phone interview. When the officer asked Harrison if he knew why he had been pulled over, Harrison said he did not. ''They said, 'It's because of the sign in your window,'" Harrison said. ''It's not meant to be a threat, it's a statement about abortion," Harrison said. He said he disagrees with the president's position on abortion. ''I asked the officer, 'Do you know what abort means?'" Harrison said. "He said, 'Yeah, it means to kill.' I said, 'No, it means to remove or terminate.'" Harrison said his sign was to be interpreted as saying something like: Remove Obama from office, not unborn babies from the womb.
