Abortion activists protested a weekend event honoring pro-life advocate Joe Schiedler of the Pro-Life Action League and the protests involved more than just holding signs or chanting – they included violence.
Shortly after the event, pro-abortion stalwarts slashed the tires of three pro-life advocates and another abortion advocate threatened more violence against him. As posted on the Chicago Independent Media Center website, one pro-abortion person wrote:

On the night of April 2nd, shortly after the pro choice demo against Joe Scheidler, another attack from pro-choice militants was carried out against him and his followers. Three cars of pro-life activists had their tires slashed….Aside from wanting Joe to remove that Indiana Jones [deleted] lookin hat, we hope, and will see to it, that his punk-a** receives constant and aggressive confrontation until he quits the ridiculous anti-choice bull****. Those who attempt to take away ones freedom deserve it not for themselves.

Thomas Peters of Catholic Vote saw the post and responded to it and the violent attitude, saying, “Some pro-abortion activists have completely crossed the line into physical intimidation and acts of violence.” the rest


Joe Scheidler, one of the leading pioneers of the pro-life movement in America, received a hero's welcome in downtown Chicago Saturday April 2, 2011, as a group of pro-life youths gathered to show their support. Mr. Scheidler was in town for a tribute being held in his honor that was co-sponsored by Pro-life organizations from around the country. Scheidler is a huge celebrity among young pro-life activists. The young crowd was especially energized when a small group of pro-abortion demonstrators showed up to protest Mr. Scheidler's defense of human life.
