A 34-year-old Ventura County man was sentenced to a year and a half in prison for making death threats against Planned Parenthood in Southern California just as the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the U.S. Attorney’s Office announced Nov. 27.

Nishith Tharaka Vandebona, who lived in Camarillo at the time, made death threats over the phone at two Planned Parenthood locations. He was sentenced by Los Angeles District Court Judge R. Gary Klausner, who called the phone calls “egregious.”
