Growing Violence Against Pro-Lifers - Fr. Shenan J. Boquet HLI

Pro-Life Assault -by Fr. Shenan J. Boquet HLI

Human Life International 

I am troubled by what appears to be a growing trend of violent attacks on peaceful pro-life activists.  Perhaps the most famous recent instance was caught in a dramatic video last fall. The video shows a twenty-something-year-old man wearing a purple sweater, with a pentagram (a pagan symbol) on a necklace around his neck. He asks the pro-life woman behind the camera what should happen if a 16-year-old gets pregnant by rape. From his tone, it is clear that he doesn’t really want an answer. Still, the woman begins to explain that the child is still a child, and should not be murdered, regardless of how the baby is conceived. Before she can finish, however, the young man sticks out his tongue, winds up, and kicks her. The camera falls and clatters on the ground. 

A female voice is heard crying, “Someone call the cops!”

The woman who was assaulted, Marie-Claire Bissonnette, described in a written account the astonishing indifference of the Toronto police who arrived on the scene. Eventually, however, the attacker was identified, and charges were filed. As it turns out, the same man was responsible for another violent assault on a pro-life activist some months before.

As Bissonnette points out, the attack on her is far from an isolated incident. And while the video of the assault against her was viewed millions of times, most of these assaults receive little to no public attention. On the very same day that Bissonnette was attacked, for instance, a woman walked up to a pro-life man who was silently praying at a location just West of Toronto and poured paint down his back. This was mild in comparison to what happened just days before, also in Toronto, when Gabby Skwarko, a member of the Ryerson Reproductive Justice Collective, walked up to pro-life activist Blaise Alleyne and proceeded to repeatedly punch her, attempted to grab her bag, and threw a metal dolly at her.

One elderly woman recently had her leg broken when she was assaulted outside Kentucky’s only abortion facility, in Louisville. Another elderly man, participating in the recent Lenten 40 Days for Life campaign, was thrown to the ground and viciously and repeatedly kicked. Then there’s the woman who was left bruised after being punched outside a clinic in Alabama. Or the young man who was repeatedly punched by a pro-abortion woman during a pro-life demonstration at the University of North Carolina.

As a life-long pro-lifer, Bissonnette has participated in pro-life demonstrations for years. She says she has repeatedly suffered physical and verbal assault. “Rocks have been thrown at me,” she writes. “I’ve been spat upon multiple times and pushed. Men have aggressively asked how I would like it if they raped me and forced me to have an abortion.”

Brian Sims’ Contemptible Attack

Thankfully the issue of aggression and violence against peaceful pro-life activists is receiving some (but still shockingly limited) media attention right now, thanks to the contemptible antics of Pennsylvania Democratic Representative Brian Sims. Earlier this month Sims posted a video of himself harassing a pro-life woman who was praying the rosary outside an abortion facility, calling her “shameful,” “disgusting,” “racist,” as well as “old white lady.”

Even worse, he also filmed himself approaching two young girls (aged 13 and 15), calling them “a bunch of pseudo-Christian protesters who’ve been out here shaming young girls for being here.” Sims then offers $100 to anybody who can identify the girls. This is called “doxing” – that is, publicly identifying ordinary citizens in order to subject them to systematic shame and harassment. It’s a terrible practice. Coming from an elected politician, aimed at young, minor girls, it’s downright evil.

Ironically, in posting the footage of his harassment of the girls, Sims accused the pro-life activists of “prey[ing] on young women.” People who protest Planned Parenthood” use white privilege, & shame,” he claimed. “They’re racist, classist, bigots who NEED & DESERVE our righteous opposition.”

Got that? According to Sims, young pro-life girls “need” to be harassed by grown men such as himself. Astonishingly, at the time of this writing, Sims has neither resigned, nor been dismissed from office, though he did record and release a video apology. If instead of a pro-abortion Democrat, it had been a pro-life Republican who berated and doxed young teen girls I think this story would have ended quite differently.

Two theatres cancel showings of pro-life movie 'Unplanned' after threats
Deborah Gyapong

“They were originally going to (screen it) and were able to endure a lot of negative publicity,” said B.J. McKelvie, a Fredericton pastor and president of Cinedicom, the Canadian distributor of the U.S. film about former Planned Parenthood director Abby Johnson who became a pro-life activist after witnessing an ultrasound-guided abortion. “They got a lot of positive support as well.

“Then things took a turn,” he said. “There started to be more serious threats towards managers and the families of theatre owners.

“There were two that were reported back to me that were death threats," McKelvie said.

David Lynn Court Appearance

Thank you Pastor David Lynn for being faithful to the truth! 

What happened to you is a blatant example of Christian Persecution in Canada 

We are constantly vilified for our beliefs 

by our liberal Left Wing Media and Politicians

Pastor David Lynn was wrongly arrested for street preaching on June 4th, 2019. Pastor David and the Christ's Forgiveness (CFM) Ministries had a planned scheduled Toronto Tour to preach the gospel to all 22 regions in Toronto and they stopped at the Church and Wesley location on June 4th in Toronto Canada .This location is where he was mobbed by the LGBT community and wrongfully arrested by a biased LBGT Police Officer for 'disturbing the peace.' The media reported blatant lies without facts and after the police reviewed the raw video footage they realized there was NO Hate speech involved and all he said was "God loves You" and was 'Praying for the Homeless'. Full raw video clip for reference https://youtu.be/sS6AlYBnnlM Unfortunately, the prosecution is using Canadian tax payers dollars to take this case to a full trial. Please continue to Pray for Pastor David, The CFM Ministry and the Canadian government officials involved in this case.

Ultimately faith is the only key to the universe: Angels are our protectors against evil

From Pat's FaithBlog


Ultimately faith is the only key to the universe: Angels are our protectors against evil:
 I am saying this Chaplet everyday now to combat evil. All the angels are our protectors. The nine choirs of angels: Seraphim, Cherubim, Thrones, Dominations, Powers, Virtues, Principalities, Archangels, Angels:
The Chaplet of St. Michael

This is depressing but bears scrutiny. We ignore evil at our peril:

If you don’t see a location near you, don’t worry, here’s what you can do:

1. Contact your local theatre. Consumer demand can open doors!
2. Book a buyout at any Landmark or Cineplex (see restrictions and information below)
3. Book a buyout at your local independent theatre. To find out more about how to see Unplanned in your community, click here.

Plan a pro-life movie night

To stay “this is the movie the abortion industry doesn’t want you to see” isn’t a sales pitch. In the past week, Katie Telford, Justin Trudeau’s chief of staff, took to social media to vent her outrage that Unplanned was going to be played in Canada. Can you believe it? That's why it's so important that we flood theatres for the opening weekend, Friday July 12th.

The best way to show the Prime Minister’s office, and their buddies in the abortion industry, that there really is an audience for pro-life movies here in Canada, is to make plans to see Unplanned this weekend.

Thanks and God bless.

PS - It is SO important to bring as many people with you to see this movie as you can, and be sure to check out the Unplanned website for updates on new theatre locations.
