A peaceful pro-life procession was attacked by an anti-life mob in New York last Saturday in yet another case of pro-abortion violence.
Over 100 pro-abortion protesters tried to stop the monthly Witness for Life procession from leaving St Patrick’s Old Cathedral, in New York, and continued to harass pro-lifers as they made their way, singing hymns and praying, to a Planned Parenthood abortion facility.
As the likely end of Roe v. Wade approaches, the pro-abortion lobby in the US is becoming increasingly violent.
On this occasion, the Catholic pro-lifers were physically accosted, with several being pushed to the ground by the pro-abortion group. A man who tried to snatch a crucifix from the pro-life procession had to be pulled away by police.
The aggressive pro-abortion group chanted: “Abortion is healthcare; healthcare is a right.” They also shouted: “Get Up, Get Out, New York Is a Pro-Choice Town.”
This week, a pro-abortion militant was charged with the attempted murder of a reportedly pro-life Supreme Court Justice, Brett Kavanaugh, as reported by SPUC. Nicholas John Roske, 26, was found carrying a gun and a knife, and was arrested near the home of Justice Kavanaugh.
A pro-life office was also firebombed in Buffalo, New York, this week; while on 3 June, pro-abortion activists attacked The Capitol Hill Pregnancy Center in Washington, D.C.
SPUC comment
A SPUC spokesperson said: “Abortion is an act of violence against a defenceless unborn baby, and pro-abortionists are using violence in support of this barbaric practice. Abortion is not healthcare. It kills an unborn baby and harms his or her mother. There is nothing healthy about abortion.
“The abortion lobby is up in arms because Roe v. Wade seems set to be repealed. They are resorting to naked hostility in response. Now is the time for pro-lifers around the world to show the pro-life position is one of peace, respect and love. We will not give in to violence.”
