Pro-Life Activist Savagely Attacked Over Abortion Debate
Pro-life supporter finds response to pro-abortion attacks concerning; President Trump's defunding of Planned Parenthood deemed a significant move
Chatting with our platform Digital, Lila Rose, founder of the pro-life organization Live Action, shared her thoughts on the assault of a fellow activist and the Trump administration's move to defund Planned Parenthood.
In an appalling incident captured on video, pro-life advocate Savannah Craven Antao was brutally assaulted during a street interview about abortion issues in New York City. The culprit, Brianna J. Rivers, was later arrested for second-degree assault.
According to Rose, "There is growing tolerance for political violence among certain groups, especially those who support abortion. Violence against those with opposing views is unacceptable, whether in discussions about abortion or other political matters."
The controversy surrounding Planned Parenthood and its funding received a boost when President Trump decided to withhold tens of millions of dollars due to potential civil rights violations. Rose believes that this step, while positive, is only a small step towards the extensive funding Planned Parenthood receives – an estimated $700 million annually.
Rose emphasized, "Planned Parenthood claims to promote parenthood, yet they destroy it. Removing some funding is a good start, but much more needs to be done to hold them accountable and stop funding abortion providers."
A recent study by the Ethics & Public Policy Center revealed that the abortion pill had severe adverse effects in nearly 11% of women. Rose advocates for the removal of dangerous drugs such as mifepristone from the market and calls for the complete shutdown of Planned Parenthood.
While the debate over Planned Parenthood's funding continues, it remains a contentious issue among lawmakers. Supporters argue that defunding could impact healthcare services, increase government costs, and undermine access to preventive care. Meanwhile, critics assert that any government funding indirectly supports abortion services and that alternative providers can take on the roles currently filled by Planned Parenthood.
As the conversation about abortion and funding persists, Rose encourages the public to engage in respectful dialogue and promote the value of life for all.
