(Students for Life<\/a>) Abortion hurts women. For nearly half a century, legalized abortion in the United States permitted the\u00a0predatory abortion industry to prey on distressed mothers and make enormous profits off the deaths of their preborn children. Too many have been swindled by this lie, and some still believe today in the lies the abortion industry peddles.<\/p>\n

The Pro-Life Generation knows that abortion does nothing for women\u2013that\u2019s why we stand for authentic women\u2019s empowerment in a number of ways, including uniting in counterprotests in cities across the country on Saturday, April 9th<\/sup>\u00a02022.<\/p>\n

Students for Life of America joined with a group of young, pro-life women at Boston Common to counter-protest a pro-abortion rally held by a radical extremist group called Rise Up 4 Abortion Rights. We brought a number of signs promoting real women\u2019s empowerment and a 10-foot banner which read \u201cEqual Rights for All Women, Born & Preborn.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s somewhat startling that at a rally which markets itself as feminist, we would be met with such hostility for defending equal rights for all women and authentic feminism. Within minutes of arriving, we were met with a shower of expletive statements, and one male pro-abortion protestor approached to scream in our ears, claiming that countless women would die without abortion.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, I managed to calm him down somewhat and engage in conversation. He was unaware of facts of\u00a0fetal development<\/a>, such as the fact that the preborn have developed all of their organs and bodily systems by the end of the first trimester and from that point are simply growing more cells and fat until they attain a size that they\u2019re capable of living outside the womb. While I can\u2019t say for certain that I changed a mind, I\u2019m confident that he stopped to think about the preborn more deeply than he would have otherwise that day.<\/p>\n

Soon after this discussion, a woman approached our banner from behind and attempted to rip it down. She proceeded to stand in front of it, blocking the \u201cBorn & Preborn\u201d portion of our \u201cEqual Rights for All Women\u201d message.<\/p>\n

Once she saw that her standing in front of our banner was not deterring us, she scurried around us, repeatedly ripping our banner out of our hands on one side or another. She also put herself right next to a few from our group, put her fingers in her mouth, and whistled at an ear-splitting decibel within six inches of our ears. One of the young pro-life women who joined us sustained hearing damage for\u00a0hours<\/em>\u00a0after the event.\u00a0Watch the video below:<\/strong><\/p>\n
