A pro-life activist in Portland, Oregon was assaulted by a pro-abortion woman, creating a buzz on social media. The incident took place when the man disagreed with the woman’s claim that miscarriages are abortions. The activist was peacefully demonstrating with a sign that read, “abortion is murder.”
The pro-abortion woman, who was with her young daughter at the time, alleged that women in Idaho were being airlifted to Oregon because they couldn’t receive abortions in their own state, predicting that a woman would soon die as a result. The pro-life activist responded by asking how many of these women are having abortions due to medical necessity.
She tried to make a case that most abortions occur because of dead embryos, basing her assumption on her personal experience. When the activist disagreed and said that most abortions are not, in fact, related to miscarriages or dead embryos, the conversation escalated.
She insisted that a miscarriage is a medical abortion, to which the activist responded that they are different. Seemingly frustrated by his response, she then physically attacked the activist and the person filming the incident. The misinformation shared by the woman about women’s access to medical procedures was later debunked by RedState, which maintained that no U.S. state prohibits medical professionals from performing necessary procedures after a miscarriage.
