Video: Pro-life activists physically attacked outside yet another Planned Parenthood

In May, TheBlaze reported on a vicious attack outside a Baltimore Planned Parenthood that resulted in an elderly pro-life advocate being severely beaten.

Over the weekend, yet another physical attack against pro-life activists outside a Planned Parenthood took place — this time in Washington, D.C. It was caught on video.

What are the details?

According to the Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising, two D.C.-area pro-life activists — Terrisa Bukovinac, founder and executive director of PAAU, and Michael Gribbin — were assaulted Saturday morning outside the D.C. Planned Parenthood.

Bukovinac said the incident began when a woman approached her and threw coffee in her face and hair, adding that when Gribbin tried to grab the woman's coffee cup, the woman's male partner assaulted him.

Video shows the man throwing Gribbin to the street surface and repeatedly punching him as well as the woman slapping Bukovinac in the face.

The PAAU said that despite video of the assault, D.C. police have refused to press charges.

"Even as a progressive anti-abortion atheist, I understand that the abortion industrial complex is responsible for a mass genocide which will require immense bravery to dismantle," Bukovinac said. "Pro-lifers must be committed to total non-violence to effectively challenge the institution of legal child killing around the globe."

The PAAU said Michael New — a Catholic University of America professor who helps coordinate pro-life efforts outside the D.C. Planned Parenthood — issued a statement that said, in part: "It is sad but unsurprising that the D.C. police have refused to press charges on two individuals who assaulted two pro-life sidewalk counselors outside the DC Planned Parenthood. Pro-lifers have First Amendment rights, and no one should have to fear for their safety while sidewalk counseling. ... If Terrisa and Michael wish to file civil charges against their assailants, they would have my enthusiastic support."

The Daily Caller News Foundation, as part of its report, said D.C. police didn't immediately respond to its request for comment on the matter.

Anything else?

In regard to the Baltimore attack, police have released surveillance images of a man believed to be in his twenties still wanted for brutally punching and kicking the face of the elderly pro-lifer outside that city's Planned Parenthood.
