WATCH: Child Pro Life Activist Attacked Violently While Speaking With Voters

Uncategorized

On Sunday, a pro-life teenage girl reported being assaulted by an infuriated abortion enthusiast as she was canvassing a neighborhood in Overland Park, Kan.

The pro-life group Students for Life of America announced Monday that 18-year-old Grace Hartsock was assaulted in Leawood, Kansas, Sunday as she participated in the organization’s door-knocking campaign.

When Hartsock knocked on the door, a woman answered who told the teen that they weren’t interested in discussing the issue.

“No, I’m sorry I don’t think you want to talk to us,” the woman told Hartsock.

As the teen turned to leave, another woman started yelling and cursing at her from within the home.

“Don’t apologize to her, mom,” the unhinged unidentified woman yelled.

The woman then followed the teen out of the house while haranguing her. Students for Life reports that she then shoved Hartsock in the chest and started hitting her in the face and head with her fists.

More details of this report from Fox News report:

The second woman, whose identity is unknown, then reportedly followed Hartsock out of the house while berating her. SFL says the woman shoved Hartsock in the chest and began striking her head with closed fists.

Hartsock weathered the blows until the woman’s mother got the daughter to stop. The woman continued yelling, however, telling Hartsock, “I hope you get raped,” and “I hope you get run over by a car,” SFL says.

The teenager was able to capture the final moments of the encounter with her phone, showing the woman back away toward the house while still hurling expletives.

SFL says Hartsock has filed a complaint to the Leewood Police Department regarding the incident. Hartsock declined an interview with Fox News Digital.

“Since she was struck, the student is experiencing headaches and body soreness, and Students for Life Action has connected her with an attorney. She and Students for Life Action are considering a legal response.” SFL spokeswoman Kristi Hamrick told Fox.

Fox News added:

Kansas residents are voting on an amendment to the state constitution that would allow state lawmakers to regulate abortion access. The state will be the first in the country to hold a vote on abortion access since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in late June.

The “Value Them Both” amendment would “affirm there is no Kansas constitutional right to abortion or to require the government funding of abortion, and would reserve to the people of Kansas, through their elected state legislators, the right to pass laws to regulate abortion, including, but not limited to, in circumstances of pregnancy resulting from rape or incest, or when necessary to save the life of the mother.”

The referendum comes roughly three years after the state Supreme Court ruled that the Kansas constitution protects the right to an abortion in 2019.

Here’s what ‘Students for Life Action’ President Kristan Hawkins said in a statement:

“As reported to police, a grown woman took out her frustrations over abortion on a teenager who volunteered to let people know about the Kansas ballot initiative. This brings abortion radicals’ ‘Summer of Rage’ close to home. But the Pro-Life Generation will not be forced into silence or fear because of radical pro-abortionists who show no regard for life, inside or outside of the womb, and no respect for the free speech rights of their fellow citizens.”
