Life Legal Defense Foundation (LLDF) has shared a video and report<\/a> of an elderly pro-life man who was assaulted while praying during a peaceful 40 Days for Life<\/a> campaign outside a San Francisco Planned Parenthood last week. An attacker attempted to steal the elderly man’s 40 Days for Life banner.<\/p>\n

LLDF reports, “The elderly man tried to stop the theft of the banner by putting the stick holding the banner into the spokes of the bicycle. The perpetrator shoved the man to the ground and began violently and repeatedly kicking and threatening him.” Two days prior to this incident, the same attacker reportedly “threw a sign, table and pro-life literature into the street. He knocked two men to the ground during that incident as well, including the same elderly pro-lifer he attacked again on Thursday.”<\/p>\n

No increased police presence at the site has been noticed at this point. Planned Parenthood is said to have surveillance footage of the attacks but refuses to release it to the authorities.<\/p>\n
