More Than a Dozen Abortion Activists Arrested at Men’s Pro-Life Demonstration in Boston: ‘Extremely Riotous’
Breitbart ^ | November 18, 2024 | Katherine Hamilton

More than a dozen pro-abortion activists were arrested at a peaceful men’s pro-life demonstration in Boston, Massachusetts, on Saturday for allegedly acting in an “unlawful, riotous, and tumultuous manner,” according to police.

Fourteen people were arrested, “most or all” of whom were pro-abortion counter-protesters at the The National Men’s March to Abolish Abortion and Rally for Personhood, the Boston Globe reported, citing police.

Those arrested were identified as Julia Coughlin, 26; Jennifer Adams, 22; Joseph McDonald, 26; Gary Ervin, 28; Aiden Burke, 24; Charles McDonald, 21; Laurel Clapp Fox, 25; Sofia Rose, 24; Mitchell Lawson, 27; Meiya Sparks Lin, 24; Waylon Linn Adams, 22; Lakes Levine, 18; Bailey Olmstead, 26; and Christopher Jacques, 40.

They are facing charges of disorderly conduct and disturbing a public assembly.

The National Men’s March to Abolish Abortion and Rally for Personhood was a city-permitted demonstration that began outside of Planned Parenthood on Commonwealth Avenue at 11:00 a.m. The group marched for more than three miles to Parkman Bandstand in the Boston Common for a rally, according to Boston.com.

Police reported that several hundred pro-abortion counter-protesters — some of them dressed as clowns — blocked the path of the pro-life demonstrators at Kenmore Square.

“Upon the convergence, each group was screaming/shouting at each other and the opposing (blocking group) at times turning their rage at officers by threatening them, screaming fighting words, and attempting to agitate them,” the police report said.

Police said they repeatedly told counter-protesters to allow the men’s march to continue along their route.

“The crowd refused all orders and continued their tumultuous behavior,” the report said.

Officers even tried to “physically attempt to move” the pro-abortion protesters out of the way, but they resisted, police said.

About 40 years ago, I participated in a Pro-Life demonstration in Boston (Government Center). We were told to “KEEP MOVING”, which we did, in a circle, while the Pro-Death crwod surrounded us, and screamed epithets, spat, and threw things at us.

Ah...the memories.

This is what you get when truth is obscured and history is not taught.

Do these youngsters know that rich, elite males were the ones who bankrolled Roe v Wade? The multi-millionaires of the day were tired of losing their wealth when their wives divorced them after finding out about their husbands’ love child. And many of those children were being born to underage girls.

Someone needs to hand them signs that say:
Here to support the oligarchs so they don’t end up in divorce court!

“...And many of those children were being born to underage girls.”

Jeff Epstein comes to mind on that one.

Stupid names. They should be called pro-death, pro-killing, anti-life. Call them what they are. Clowns? Should be dressed as Death, in black hoods with a scythe.

I was at a pro-life march several years ago. A car came speeding down the driveway of the local abortion center, apparently attempting to run over a little girl who was crossing the driveway to catch up with her mommy.

I regularly participate in the national March for Life. I see this sort of thing every year. Most years, it’s entirely peaceful.

Sometimes, the Pro-Death side gets over-excited (there are “excitable boys” among them) and the police have to restore order. The Pro-Life side always remains peaceful.

In all fairness I’ve owned hundreds of cats over my lifetime and never once had an abortion.

I see some of them are the usual Massachusetts Catholic school grads. No surprise.

“… that began outside of Planned Parenthood…”

I’m waiting for the DOJ to arrest these guys and throw them in prison for 10 years for blocking access to an abortion mill.
