Multiple pro-abortion activists arrested at Boston pro-life march
A pro-life march through Boston was greeted by numerous pro-abortion counter-protestors — some dressed like clowns — who clashed with police, leading to multiple arrests.
The Men’s March is a pro-life event dedicated to protecting preborn lives, and the most recent march was held on November 16th in Boston, Massachusetts. Before the march was even held, abortion advocates were threatening to disrupt it.
The march began outside a Planned Parenthood facility, and then proceeded to the Boston Common, the oldest public city park in the country.”On our end, it was peaceful,” Jim Havens, Co-founder of the Men’s March, told CBS News. “But there were many people I would say hundreds, maybe even thousand who came out to try to block us from continuing on in our march.”
Once the group got to the bandshell at the Boston Common, the pro-abortion protestors did as much as they could to be disruptive, playing circus music and blowing on horns. But according to Boston.com, the protestors also tried to physically stop the march from happening, and when ordered to move by police, they refused; that was when arrests began taking place.
“Stand up, fight back” and “Go home fascists,” the crowd of counterprotesters shout at the officers, who are attempting to forcefully push their way against the crowd with their bikes. Cops in riot gear holding batons stand in front of those from the men’s march against abortion.
“Upon the convergence, each group was screaming/shouting at each other,” a police report obtained by Boston.com read, adding that abortion activists then turned “their rage at officers by threatening them, screaming fighting words, and attempting to agitate them.”
The pro-abortion protesters refused to physically move out of the way of police officers, and nine people were arrested after they “refused to peacefully disperse… were extremely riotous and tumultuously assembled.” In addition, “their behavior created … hazardous and offensive conditions for citizens, the peacefully assembled, and the police officers alike.” They were all charged with disorderly conduct.
After a draft decision in the Dobbs vs. Jackson Women’s Health Organization Supreme Court case, which overturned Roe v. Wade, was leaked, violence against the pro-life movement skyrocketed. A 2022 study from the Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC) found there were 22 times as many attacks against pro-life organizations as pro-abortion organizations. This includes a “Night of Rage” with protests, attacks, and threats on and against pro-life groups, churches, and pregnancy resource centers. Supreme Court justices were doxxed, and there an assassination attempt on Justice Brett Kavanaugh. FBI Director Christopher Wray admitted during Congressional testimony that 70% of abortion-related violence is conducted by abortion advocates towards the pro-life movement.
