A pro-abortion advocate assaulted pro-life journalist Savannah Craven Antao while she filmed a Man on the Street interview for Live Action on Thursday.

Craven Antao was recording interviews regarding “What does Planned Parenthood do? Perception vs. Reality?” in Harlem, New York, when the attack occurred. According to Craven Antao and her husband, Henry Antao, a woman approached and started a conversation with Craven Antao, even complimenting her. But during the interview, she suddenly assaulted Craven Antao.

Video footage shows Craven Antao and the woman discussing abortion before the woman punches her.

The woman stated, “You don’t understand the magnitude of having a child.”

Crave Antao replied, “I’m not the one who admitted they would be okay with killing babies in foster care and killing children that had been abused.”

The woman then responded, “That’s my point…” As Craven Antao attempted to speak again, the woman punched her, knocking her to the ground. She appeared to attempt to assault her a second time, but Craven Antao’s husband positioned himself in between them. Craven Antano was brought to the hospital for her injuries.

Her husband told Live Action, “[We] were out on the street in Harlem doing some street interviews. My wife … was assaulted by a pro-abortion woman we were interviewing… The woman became aggressive and violent upon learning Savannah’s pro-life stance. I intervened to protect my wife and we immediately called 911. The police arrived, and we provided them with the assailant’s photo and description. We hope justice will be served soon.”

Live Action president and founder Lila Rose stated in a press release:

We are deeply grateful for the work Savannah has done to protect preborn children and help end abortion in our nation. Her bravery in the face of violence is heroic. We are grateful she is safe and receiving support. No one should ever face physical assault for expressing their views in public.

We will not be intimidated. Live Action will continue our goal to defund Planned Parenthood—which kills over 1,000 children every day while receiving more than $700 million in taxpayer funding. We remain committed to our mission to completely abolish abortion and ensure every child is protected under the law.

Video and photos taken after the assault show a laceration on Craven Antao’s eyebrow and blood dripping down her face and chest. Her attacker has not been identified, but police are said to be looking for her.

“We are pro-life activists because ending abortion and protecting babies from the violence that Planned Parenthood commits is the most important issue of our lifetime,” Henry Antao explained.

Violence on the part of pro-abortion advocates has been rising in recent years. After the Supreme Court draft decision signaling the overturning of Roe v. Wade was leaked in May of 2022, abortion supporters increased attacks against pro-life activists and pro-life organizations.

It’s obvious at this point that the pro infanticide crowd is demon possessed.

[Morgana]

Yes and everyone the person who attacked her? Yes Yogi it’s them.

[Right Brother]

I have seen seen numerous similar videos where these psychopaths suddenly freak out with an unprovoked physical attack. Demons indeed.

Check out the nearest Jack In The Box or KFC. She may be over there, eatin’ her anger away.

Perp mug shot within 24 hours. Release before that day is over.

“We will not be intimidated. Live Action will continue our goal to defund Planned Parenthood—which kills over 1,000 children every day while receiving more than $700 million in taxpayer funding.” I wonder what the overall body count is now? At a 1,000 per day for how long now? Pretty darn gruesome, long mass-murder imo. I wonder too about what those babies could have accomplished for mankind if they wouldn’t have been murdered.

“I have a solution for that.”

Yeah. Abort them.

So do I. Case, Buck, Smith & Wesson, Ruger, Colt.

Democrats are terrorists.

“Live Action” continues our goal to defund Planned Parenthood’s killing over
1,000 children every day while receiving over $700 million in taxpayer funding.

We remain committed to our mission to completely abolish
abortion and ensure every child is protected under the law.

The woman became aggressive and violent upon learning Savannah’s pro-life stance. I intervened to protect my wife...

Good luck in finding anyone on the Left who permits a viewpoint other than their own. Not allowed in "democracy" run by violent mob rule of the Dems.

Hope the journalist didn't dare to drive a Tesla.

RE: wake me when somebody gets arrested...

May be a long wait.

If they are willing to kill a baby, of course they are willing to attack someone who doesn’t support their evil acts.

[awelliott]

If someone assaulted my wife while I was standing there, I’m pretty damn sure that I would have more to turn over to the cops than a picture of the offender.

The woman stated, “You don’t understand the magnitude of having a child.”

Because the assailant is, of course, fully aware of Mrs. Antao's complete medical history, and knows exactly how many children she has given birth to.

But seriously: Anyone else thrown off by this criminal's diction? I was expecting her to instead say something along the lines of, "But Miz SCAW-let! You don' know nothin' 'bout birthin' no babies!"
