10\/3<\/strong>: This weekend, Marie-Claire Bissonnette was participating in Life Chain in Canada, where thousands of pro-life men, women, and children stood on over 200 street corners in a peaceful and silent protest. Participants do not speak, but hold signs with messages like \u201cAbortion Hurts Women,\u201d \u201cAbortion Kills Children,\u201d \u201cAdoption, the Loving Option,\u201d and more. On Saturday, Bissonnette was with over 70 other pro-lifers when she was roundhouse kicked by a pro-abortion man<\/a>.<\/p>\n

One pro-abortion woman counter-protested alongside the pro-lifers, but did so peacefully. There were no problems until a man arrived at approximately 2:30 in the afternoon. He first began with acts of vandalism against the pro-lifers, writing on their signs. “After I warned people to shield their signs, he then proceeded to run up behind five of the participants (including a ten-year-old girl) and scribble with his markers on their backs, ruining their clothing,” Bissonnette wrote at LifeSiteNews<\/a>. The pro-abortion woman who had been counter-protesting tried to discourage him, but he became further enraged when Bissonnette took out her cell phone and began to record him.<\/p>\n

“He asked me whether a sixteen-year-old girl who gets pregnant after being raped should keep her baby. I attempted to explain that her baby should be treated no differently than a three-year-old child who may have been conceived by rape,” she recounted. “He then forcefully roundhouse-kicked me in the shoulder, which sent my phone flying and I yelled for someone to call the police. In defence of his violence he claimed he\u2019d meant to kick my phone, and then, as a fellow Life Chain participant dialed 9-1-1, he yanked off the ribbon I\u2019d been wearing on my chest and ran away, heading east on Bloor.”<\/p>\n
