On the 50th anniversary of the Supreme Court\u2019s <\/span>Roe v. Wade<\/span><\/i> decision, a small group of local activists, some from the Southeast Tennessee chapter of Students for Life of America (SFLA), <\/span>gathered<\/span><\/a> at Coolidge Park in Chattanooga, Tennessee, in peaceful remembrance of the over 63 million lives lost under <\/span>Roe<\/span><\/i>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

At the same time, a group of pro-abortion activists, including the so-called \u201c<\/span>New Suffragettes<\/span><\/a>,\u201d held their own rally to demand that Tennessee\u2019s <\/span>Human Life Protection Act<\/span><\/a> be repealed or amended. Their rally included a life-sized black coffin being carried by six \u201cpallbearers\u201d dressed in black – apparently unaware of the irony of such a display – and a \u201cconga line for abortion.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

It also included verbal and physical assaults upon the peaceful pro-life demonstrators. \u201cWe were called rapists and misogynists, our signs were torn, we were stepped on and harassed,\u201d <\/span>wrote<\/span><\/a> William Reynolds, who was present.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Walgreens<\/a><\/p>\n

Reynolds continued:<\/span><\/p>\n

Later, after the main group of pro-abortion activists had gone \u2026 we stayed outside for a few minutes to have a conversation with a woman who was confused about what TN\u2019s HLPA [Human Life Protection Act] said about treatment for ectopic pregnancies. Our conversation was interrupted by two ladies who obnoxiously began to butt in to the conversation. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

After a few minutes of back and forth, one of the ladies shouted an expletive at us and pulled a clean empty glass bottle out of her purse \u2026 and smashed it onto the ground directly at our group. My photographer, Michael, got a small piece of glass in his eye.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n
