Elderly pro-life woman attacked outside abortion mill hospitalized with broken leg, bleeding head

LOUISVILLE, Kentucky, April 15, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) ― A well-loved pro-life sidewalk counselor was attacked by a woman exiting an abortion mill, leaving her with a broken thighbone and a bleeding head wound.

Donna Durning, a sidewalk counselor for over 20 years, was outside the E.M.W. Women’s Surgical Center on the afternoon of April 13 when a younger woman who had been inside the abortion mill violently pushed her, causing her to fall on the pavement. She underwent surgery.

Durning told LifeSiteNews that the young woman, who was in her early twenties, had gone out from the clinic to a car that was waiting for her. It was around 4 o’clock in the afternoon.

“She turned and looked at me,” Durning recounted, “and I gave her a sweet little card... I said ‘Honey, this is for you; if you want to talk to somebody there’s a phone number there.’ She grabbed me by both shoulders and literally threw me to the ground.”

Durning sustained a head wound and a fractured femur. Fortunately, her skull did not break, and she didn’t suffer any brain injuries.

“Thank goodness I have good bones,” Durning remarked.

The next day Adele Darnowski, a friend of Durning, took a photograph of Durning’s blood on the sidewalk, posted it on Facebook and remarked “Seventeen mothers walked over it today to go in to have their abortions. Poor dears.”

She also reflected, “The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the Church.”

Darnowski told LifeSiteNews that police were already on the scene.

“The police who were in a car across the street immediately entered the EMW and confiscated the surveillance tapes,” she said

Witnesses at the scene recorded the license plate number of the car in which the assailant and her friend drove away.

[ She grabbed me by both shoulders and literally threw me to the ground.” ]

Sounds like the work of a tolerant liberal.

The enemy of mens souls hates anyone who stands in the way of his taking the life of Gods children.

I’m reminded of this as well:

Acts 19:13-16 King James Version (KJV)

13 Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth.

14 And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so.

15 And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?

16 And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.

Non sequitur....the elderly woman was a Christian but not trying to drive out evil spirits. The story you cite speaks of non Christians using the name of Jesus and of Paul to drive out an evil spirit but having no indwelt Holy Spirit to protect them, they were subject to the evil spirit’s physical attack.

The older woman’s experience was closer to that of Paul or of other martyrs receiving beatings and physical abuse by those who rejected the gospel message.

I searched five of the local Louisville news outlets for “Donna Durning”, and none had any stories about her.
