A Massachusetts man is facing assault charges after he allegedly shoved an older pro-life woman to the ground outside a Planned Parenthood in April.
A witness said the 76-year-old woman’s head bounced off the pavement when she was pushed on April 20 outside the Boston abortion facility, the Boston Herald reports. The woman said she suffered a concussion and other injuries as a result.
Hartman Deetz, 42, of Brighton, later was charged with battery and assault on a person 60 years or older, according to the report. He was scheduled to appear in court this week.
Police said Deetz escorted a woman to an appointment at the Planned Parenthood on the day of the incident. According to police, the 76-year-old woman approached him after he walked out of the facility, and Deetz turned around and pushed her to the ground. Police said security cameras recorded footage of the incident.
The older woman told police that she was trying to offer information to Deetz when he pushed her.
“It was so quick, the next thing I knew I was down and hit my hit. And to be honest, I thought I either had a fractured skull or was bleeding. I thought I was going to die,” she said.
Later, she said a doctor determined that she had a concussion. Since then, she said she has been suffering from headaches, dizziness, vertigo and other health problems that have prevented her from performing normal life functions like laundry and cooking.
Pro-life advocate William Cotter, a witness, told police that he saw the woman’s head bounce off the sidewalk after she was pushed.
“It was obviously very shocking upsetting, her head bounced off the sidewalk. It was a very awful thing,” Cotter said. “I’d never seen anything like that, a woman suddenly assaulted in such a violent manner.”
Pro-life advocates increasingly have become targets of assault, vandalism and other incidents. In April, another older pro-life woman allegedly was assaulted outside of a Kentucky abortion facility and was hospitalized. A month earlier, someone brutally attacked an older pro-life man outside a Planned Parenthood abortion facility in San Francisco. Then in May, the pro-life group Created Equal released a video showing a female student punch a young pro-life advocate in the face. And in October, an Arizona abortionist allegedly pulled a gun on a pro-life advocate who was standing outside an abortion facility in Phoenix.
LifeNews.com has documented an alarming uptick in reports of vandalism, harassment, threats and other incidents targeting pro-lifers.

It takes a brave “man” to deck an elderly woman.
He’s only charged with assault?
It takes a brave cop to not arrest him for assault and attempted murder...

Sometimes the “60 and older” add-on can be a substantial punishment, we can hope.
The party of tolerance.
I hope she sues him for damages as well.Some lawyer should offer up their services as a pro-bono case.
When you see who Deetz is, I’m betting the ‘brave’ cop got his orders from the politicians.
Ha. He’s no man.
“Sometimes the “60 and older” add-on can be a substantial punishment, we can hope.”
In Kentucky, the perp was acquitted after breaking the elderly woman’s hip by pushing her to the concrete sidewalk. This took place in Louisville which is so blue, no jury would convict.
Who is he?
Thanks for all of your work. What’s next pp giving away free ultrasounds on slaughter your daughter month?
DEFUND anti-life collectives.
Very true.
The type of people we're dealing with.... Planned Parenthood supports that savage method of murder in which a newly born infant is set out on a tray while the doctor and mother have a "serious discussion" meaning deciding to kill the baby by neglect or work to help the baby live. How anyone thinks that is not murder is beyond me. But that's what I said about "abortion."
Unrelated but I heard someone defend the NFL helmet attack player "Notice he hit him with the non hardest rounded part of the helmet so he didn't fracture his skull and that shows he didn't have the intent to really injure him worse like he could have." Radio guy just said "Many would argue a physical assault is wrong regardless of that."
What do you expect from people who have the devil in them?
They are so evil...the pro-abortionists. I guess I was lucky in my ten years on the front lines, the worst they did to me was tear up my protest signs.

A man is a Planned Homicide customer? I guess he is a hired Hitman!! If he pushed my mom (or M-i-L) down I’d kill him.
