LifeChain was held this past Sunday in various cities across North America. Toronto's event is usually like the others; peaceful, prayerful and silent. Well, let's just say the pro-lifers are usually silent. The pro-abortion passersbys are known to spew insults and hurl vitriol at pro-lifers. I recall as a teen being yelled at "You should have been aborted!" Pro-abortion supporters aren't a classy bunch, are they! How can they be? When they advocate violence, how can they themselves be peaceful?
You can understand my horror when I read in the news that a woman at a Toronto LifeChain location was attacked by a knife-wielding man. This unknown bystander grabbed her hair, smacked her on the ground, kicked and punched the woman repeatedly. After the woman yelled for cops and ran to take cover, the attacker then pulled out a knife. Thankfully, a fellow pro-lifer shielded the woman when the man came hunting for her. She is now recovering at home after being discharged from a Toronto hospital. According to the news story, the police took a video statement.
I'm trying not to have a Justin Trudeau moment when I ask, what are the root causes of this man's sudden attack on this pro-life woman? Was he a victim of abortion? Did he force a pregnant woman to abort their child? Did he drive friend to an abortion clinic? Is he suffering from post-abortion syndrome? Was this pro-lifer a reminder of something in his past? I don't know. What I do know is that violence against pro-lifers is becoming a regular occurrence, and this is simply terrifying.
