LITTLE ROCK, May 17, 2001 (LSN.ca) – A long-time pro-life demonstrator told police he was stabbed Saturday while picketing an abortion facility. Missionaries to the Unborn, a pro-life news service, reports that Attorney J. Fred Hart, 51, was treated at St. Vincent Infirmary Medical Center for a stab wound in his side and released Saturday.
According to police, Hart and another pro-life advocate, Jim Dawson, 70, of Vilonia were in front of the Family Health Care Clinic abortion facility in Little Rock when two women pulled up in a black 1994 Chevrolet pickup. “The passenger [in the truck] started yelling obscene words, then exited and grabbed his sign and took off running when she fell,” the police report stated. “Hart stated he bent over to pick up the sign when [the woman] stabbed him in his left side with a knife.”
The police report says the woman denies the charges and claims Hart attacked her. However Dawson recorded most of the attack with a video camera and police have taken the tape into evidence. Moreover, Rose Mimms, the executive director of Arkansas Right to Life, which leases the office next door to the abortion facility, said she believes Hart to be a gentle man.
