Naked abortion-rights protester disrupts Fourth of July parade in Vermont "I cannot tolerate my own inaction any longer in the face of the overturning of Roe v. Wade."

Naked and covered in fake blood, an abortion-rights activist reportedly left mouths agape as he joined the Fourth of July parade in Brattleboro, Vermont, on Monday.

Minutes before the parade begun Monday morning, Ivan Hennessy emailed the Brattleboro Reformer and other media outlets to let them know of his plan and what kind of statement he intended to make, the newspaper reported.

“I cannot tolerate my own inaction any longer in the face of the overturning of Roe v. Wade,” Hennessy reportedly wrote in the email. “The Supreme Court’s rejection of medical privacy and bodily autonomy is not the only terrible injustice I’ve seen our government embrace. It is not unique in the magnitude of suffering it brings. But, my own inaction has become unbearable.”

Hennessy hoped his act of protest would draw more attention to the overturning of Roe v. Wade and encourage others to take more action, the newspaper reported.

According to the Reformer, Police Chief Norma Hardy said at a subsequent Select Board meeting that her officers made the decision not to interfere with the protest, noting that they were more concerned about the overall safety of everyone at the event. She pointed to the mass shooting in the Chicago suburb of Highland Park where seven were killed and dozens more injured.

Other parade attendees said they were disturbed by the incident, with Russ Grabiec, a Brattleboro resident who was filming the Independence Day event for the community television station, calling it “traumatizing.”

This story just came out yesterday before all the comments come out about the 4th being a week ago.

Now I have to ask "why did he have to be naked and covered in blood?" The point being?

That fellow should be taken to a clinic forthwith and given an abortion exactly following customary procedures.

I wonder if someone asked Chief Hardy about why the July 4th shooting happened in Chicago with very strict gun control laws and nothing happened in Vermont which has more permissive firearms laws in comparison (even after the Phil Scott nonsense)?

Maybe he ended up looking more like the baby before dismemberment, or brain sucked out, or burned alive with saline.

These people are evil and nuts!

Some of these pervs will support anything if they can use it as an excuse to get naked and give everyone a laugh.

No kidding. It always conjures up images of the baby being torn apart to me.

"The point being?"

Look at me!
Look at me!

The end result of the lunacy of educating people that their emotions and feelings are superior and transcendent, and 'they have the power to initiate change' with those feelings.

Rational logical thought and self-control are no longer virtues, but vestigial remains of oppressive [ fill in blank SJW term ]

I haven’t been to Brattleboro in 30 years, but back then, well, lets just say it wasn’t a good choice as a place to stop for a bite to eat. The only eatery in town was an overpriced organic vegatarian restaurant. The only bar was a gay bar (no food). Luckily for me, there was an ice cream stand and a farmer selling freshly-picked raspberries in paper cones on the outskirts, so I did not starve.

Cute little town, but off-the-chart liberal (and 100% white, as is most of Vermont). Surroundings were beautiful, like something out of a Currier & Ives print. Cool beaver pond and old wooden covered bridge nearby.
