Headline: Catholic Grandmother Assaulted While Praying Outside Planned Parenthood

Story line: A 63-year-old Catholic grandmother says she was attacked and knocked to the ground while filming outside a Planned Parenthood clinic in Wilmington, Del. last week.

So, was she assaulted for PRAYING, or for FILMING? Neither is acceptable, but disconnects like that make us look like the progressives, who talk out of both sides of their mouths and adjust headlines to fit their agenda.

It’s not acceptable to pray? Excuse me, but is this still the USA?

And when an ambulance pulls up in front of Planned Parenthood, there’s no law against taking a picture.

And why is it OK for media people to take pictures of people going through terrible times, but not OK for someone to take a picture of an ambulance?

Actually there are many people who pray outside of abortion clinics and are advised to have cameras (for the just in case moments that happens - if you are filming you can prove you did not do what someone might accuse you of - it has happened before). This lady then recorded the ambulance that was called to document it on film. She saw assaulted (from what I can see and assume) because she had the camera rolling to show the EMT. So the grandma was doing BOTH! I would never pray outside of a clinic without a camera on me because of the assaults that happen.
Now let me ask you something, why did you say “Neither is acceptable”?

I understand you to be saying that it is not acceptable for her to be assaulted, whether because she was praying or whether because she was filming. But the reporting should have stated that she was assaulted while FILMING, because that seems to be what set off the Planned Parenthood gal. She had prayed there all day without being assaulted, but was assaulted when she started filming to document the arrival of the ambulance.

Am I understanding you correctly?
