According to pro-life watchdog group Operation Rescue<\/a>, there has been an uptick in violent acts against peaceful pro-life sidewalk counselors in front of the Planned Parenthood facility in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.<\/p>\n

In November, sidewalk counselors say a man drove by and waved a handgun at them as they prayed. That same man returned in December, stopping in front of the abortion business and arguing with some of the prayer warriors outside. Witnesses say he made a motion in his car as if he were going to retrieve something from a glovebox, which they feared was the gun, as he asked them, \u201cDo you want to meet God today?\u201d<\/p>\n

These actions were reported to the police, and the man was arrested.<\/p>\n

Most recently, on February 2, a man jumped out of a car and tore down a pro-life banner that was placed on the lawn, screaming and yelling expletives the entire time. He took half of the banner with him as he drove away in his vehicle.<\/p>\n
