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.”

That was my first thought.
Truth be told, he wasn’t there for abortion, he was there trolling for homosexuals.
It likely doesn't know or is not sure. This person is probably thinking it might want an abortion someday.
Maybe the pro-lifers should start showing pictures of aborted/dissected babies again. The left bowled bloody murder the last time.
Naked, as in attention seeking disorder.
Let the unhinged keep doing nutty nonsense like this... it will drive those still on the fence toward the pro-life side.
Keep it up, democrats. No parent wants their kids to see that....except for the few who are drag queen show escorts.
“Now I have to ask “why did he have to be naked and covered in blood?” The point being? “
To attract attention and publicity, which seems to have worked.
“Hmmm. I can advocate for abortion. I can try to convince the masses abortion is good. I can enter politics to change abortion law. Or I can just run around naked screaming at the top of my lungs...”
Why can’t these idiots figure out that they lose more supporters than they gain with this dumbassery?
Naked and covered in blood? Sounds like he’s advocating for the poor little naked babe in the womb, being ripped from limb to limb.
He is pissed because no woman wants him who is unable to abort his offspring before being forced to deal with him for the rest of his life.
That’ll show us!!!
Brattleboro is the Star Wars cantina scene of VT. People regularly parade around nekid. The blood was a new touch though.
This wonen's rights cr** is just that.
But they're lopsided....The stupidity of their campaign against alcohol and the equally stupidity of Prohibition....which became an actual Constitutional amendment and was eventually overturned. I dare say...the majority of women have had a few.
But to get back to their stupidity...They can get pregnant....through their own carelessness...but if that doesn't work out or becomes inconvenient....they just kill the baby. How stupid is that?
Odd choice, though. I mean, if someone says “abortion” then asks “what’s naked and covered in blood?” What is the first answer that springs to mind? An aborted baby, of course.
As for his talking about “the magnitude of suffering it brings”, what about over 60 million murdered babies? Yes, they all suffered.
This same guy would be all in on banning the boiling of lobsters:

GMTA! I posted my last before seeing your post.
Just when you think ham actors take the cake an over reacting abortion-rights activist steps up.
No wonder they like abortions they don’t have a life.
Doesn’t this idiot nude dude realize that the Supreme Court turned over the decision to the respective states?
Mentally ill dude should keep his clothes on. This was a Fourth of July parade, not a venue for some fool to make his woke “political statement.”
And the female police chief should have had her officers arrest him.
There were kids at that event.
Some father should have knocked him out. Then go for jury nullification… you just need one not guilty.
