69 Year Old Pro Lifer Attacked in Harrisburg, PA

At 6:30 am on Saturday, December 22, while most were snug in bed, resting up for Christmas activities, veteran pro-lifer Ed Snell, was arriving at Hillcrest Abortion Center, in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. He had come with two other activists to persuade women entering the clinic not to abort their pre-born children.

The group customarily meets at the clinic and has saved many lives. In fact, they have been so effective, that the clinic erected a 7-foot privacy fence to cut off all communication between the women and the pro-lifers. However, their efforts were scuttled, when the activists began bringing ladders so they could speak over the fence.

Mr. Snell, age 69, preferred to stand on a more solid foundation, so he constructed a plywood platform on the roof of his car to elevate him above the fence.

...As Ed stood on his platform that morning, a man and woman exited a car in the parking lot and proceeded towards that door of the abortion mill.

When Mr. Snell tried to counsel the woman, his words were cut short when the man became furious, jumped the fence and, in the words of [fellow activist and eyewitness John] McTernan, “leaped on the vehicle with Ed and catapulted him off of the vehicle and onto the ground.” Mr. Snell hit his back and head on the pavement and was knocked unconscious...

This story continues by describing the serious injuries suffered by Mr. Snell, the failure of local police to promptly arrest the assailant, their threats against Mr. McTernan, and the failure of the media to cover the incident...It appears from the article that both the local police and the media are incompetent. Not surprising in a society which embraces a culture of death...

As Mr. McTernan related, had the tables been turned and a pro-life advocate assaulted an abortion worker or 'client,' the police most assuredly would have arrested the assailant on the spot and the media would have played this up this story for viewers' amusement and ridicule of the pro-life movement - all while countless assaults and murders take place daily in the nation's abortuaries - America's own human extermination program.

Thankfully, Mr. Snell will recover from his extensive injuries.
