UPDATE\/EDITOR’S NOTE: 8\/4\/22:<\/strong> The woman responsible for the assault has been arrested<\/a> and charged in Leawood Municipal Court with misdemeanor battery. Her name has not been released.<\/p>\n

8\/1\/22:<\/strong> (Students for Life<\/a>) Students for Life Action President Kristan Hawkins said that a police complaint has been filed regarding an attack on a teenager working to get out the vote in favor of the Kansas Value Them Both Amendment that will ensure the state\u2019s constitution is abortion neutral, allowing voters to engage on abortion policy. \u201cIn knocking on thousands of doors nationwide, we\u2019ve never experienced such an unprovoked attack,\u201d said Hawkins. A report was filed with the Leewood Police Department by the teenager who was wrongfully attacked.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s unfathomable that the pro-choice movement claims to be \u2018pro-woman\u2019 and yet attacks women who don\u2019t agree with their narrative,\u201d said 18-year-old SFLAction volunteer Grace Hartsock, who returned to door knocking today. \u201cIt\u2019s not surprising to me that a person who advocates for violence in the womb wouldn\u2019t hesitate to attack a pro-life woman like myself.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Sunday, July 31st, Hartsock rang the doorbell of a home just as the SFLAction team did over 1,700 times that day in the Overland Park area. After introducing herself and asking if she could count on the woman\u2019s support for Tuesday vote, the resident replied, \u201cNo, I\u2019m sorry I don\u2019t think you want to talk to us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hartsock recounted that as she politely thanked her for her time and began to leave the property, a female voice began yelling and cursing from inside the home. Hartsock said that she stopped momentarily to turn around to face the voice yelling expletives and heard her say, \u201cDon\u2019t apologize to her, mom.\u201d As Hartsock was turning, the yelling woman ran out the front door and began chasing her.<\/p>\n

The woman shoved Hartsock in the chest with both hands and began hitting her in the head with closed fists. Hartsock attempted to protect herself and leave while the resident\u2019s mother told her daughter to stop the violence.<\/p>\n

Hartsock told police that as she made it down the driveway to get distance from the irate pro-abortion supporter, the daughter threw a piece of food that hit her in the face, and she followed Hartsock down the street screaming curses and phrases such as, \u201cI hope you get raped,\u201d and \u201cI hope you get run over by a car.\u201d<\/p>\n
