Man Tries to Run Down Pro-life Protester
Despite the attacks, pro-life workers continue to save babies and impact the community with the message of Life
ALBUQUERQUE, New Mexico, September 17, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A man who had been verbally harassing pro-lifers outside a late-term abortion facility in Albuquerque for days, escalated his abuse to violence yesterday by driving his delivery truck up on a curb and striking the large pro-life sign being held by local pro-life advocate Bud Shaver.
Shaver was unhurt in the incident but his sign showing an image of an aborted baby was damaged.
Shaver was able to get the license plate number of the vehicle that hit his sign and reported the incident to the police.
“We just explained our concern [to the police] that this man is starting to escalate his behavior,” said Shaver. Police told Shaver that they would talk to the man, but it was unlikely that charges would be filed.
This incident took place just two weeks after an Arizona man was arrested at the same abortion clinic after he threatened to shoot two pro-life women.
