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.”

“is this a guy-guy or a girl-guy?”
Excellent question. the photo was censored.
My guess is that he’s a homosexual and was trolling for a hookup.....
Why naked ? I’ve seen some pictures and they should cover up all the way
Obviously another hard-core Molochite. Child sacrifices must continue or the vengeful god will wreak his revenge on mankind.
I think the best thing to do is point and laugh at these morons and then turn away and look at something else.
naked and covered in blood
Could just self abort now.
More men support Roe than women. I wonder why?
So he’s dressed as an aborted baby? How’s that gonna work out?
“Why does this “man” care so much?”
Faggots and older non-impregnable womyns seem to be the most distressed about abortion.
No idea why.
UP is DOWN, DOWN is UP. “Covered in blood” as in what the baby that’s chopped to bits is covered in....but he’s protesting NOT being able to make spam out of babies.
Hey, the Communist are coming after the 1st and 2nd Amendments...Lets all strip down and run around naked.
♫ The morning sun touched lightly on
the eyes of Lucy Jordan.
In a white suburban bedroom
In a white suburban town ...
She could clean the house for hours
or rearrange the flowers
or run naked through the shady streets,
screaming all the way .♫
“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.”
That is true and our side could do the same and more appropriate act by joining the parade with pictures of dismembered babies - but we don’t.
When it comes to activism the left is wiping the floor with us.
We’re way too passive and just keep taking it and that its why we’re getting slaughtered in this culture war.
Don’t look, Ethel!
Hey that’s mostly redundant 😜
My gut tells me that I don’t want to see any photos from this incident.
That rings a bell...isn’t from some 1960s comedy song?
“I cannot tolerate my own inaction any longer in the face of the overturning of Roe v. Wade,”
Hey Skippy, why not demonstrate to us what a post-term abortion looks like. Use yourself as the “baby”.
