DC-Area Pro-Life Activists Assaulted Outside Of Planned Parenthood Today

This morning, Saturday July 22 2023, two local pro-life activists were assaulted outside of the Planned Parenthood in northeast DC.  The two activists are Terrisa Bukovinac and Michael Gribbin.  A man and woman walking their dog approached Bukovinac and threw a cop of coffee at her.  When Gribbin tried to intervene, the man threw him to the ground and repeatedly punched him.

This comes just two weeks after an elderly pro-life activist was assaulted in nearby Takoma Park, and a few months after two pro-life men were assaulted at the Baltimore Planned Parenthood.  There have been other attacks in other areas of the country.  These attacks are obviously on the increase, no doubt as part of lashing out after the Dobbs decision.  There is safety in numbers; please come out and be part of that "safety", as well as offer your own prayers and witness.  

The video of today's episode from Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising (founded by Bukovinac) is only available on youtube.

Elderly Pro-Life Activist Attacked Outside Langley Park Abortuary

On Saturday, July 8, about 9:30 am, Olga Fairfax, a long-time pro-life activist was assaulted as she sat on the curb at New Hampshire Avenue.  It is in Langley Park, at the University Boulevard intersection.  In 7676 New Hampshire Avenue is housed an abortuary.  More details can be found here.  

Here is a picture of the thug who attacked Ms. Fairfax, spray paint in hand.  You will notice there is a "bar review" logo on her shirt.  If this woman is, or becomes a lawyer, pray that you are never represented by her.  No wonder our legal system is going down the crapper!

If anyone knows this, uhh, "charming individual", please advise via the comment section.  I will not publish the comment but merely pass the information to the authorities.  Thanks.

A "Chumpion For Choice" Snagged By The Law's Long Arm!

A deathscort plying his trade outside of a Planned Parenthood in Ann Arbor, MI, repeatedly committed assault and battery against a sidewalk counselor while the latter was engaged in a conversation according to this report by Jill Stanek.  This attack was witnessed and charges were filed.  Thus Bernie Klein is to be arraigned in district court on January 20, 2012.

Go further down Stanek's piece and you'll see Mr Klein has quite a chequered past.  On the news clip his name is mentioned in conjunction with the "Final Exit Network", an assisted-suicide (i.e. murder) network.  Given his fascination with murder, Klein's 21 years of deathscorting makes sense.

Todd Stave - What A Guy!!

I hope it's clear that I'm being sarcastic in the title of this post.  Todd Stave is the landlord for the condo where Germantown Reproductive Health Services murders babies.  He and his sister, Nancy Stave Samuels, are trustees of the Norma A Testamentary Trust, which owns the Germantown condo and its sister abortion mill in Hyattsville, the Prince George's Reproductive Health Services (southeast corner of Riggs Rd and University Bvld).  Both of these were founded by Todd's and Nancy's father, the late Carl Stave (I shudder to think of where he presently is).

Operation Rescue details these, along with criminal behavior allegedly perpetrated by Todd himself (as if he needs to add to the already heinous crime of directly facilitating the murders of babies).

Maryland Coalition for Life instituted a letter-writing campaign to Todd Stave, asking him to close down his abortion mills and to get out of the business that he acquired from his own abortionist father, the late Carl Stave (important note - Todd Stave himself is not an abortionist.  He does directly profit from it, vis-a-vis the real estate aspects).  At the time of this writing, the letter-writing campaign is in abeyance, pending some logistical details being finalized.  One of the details has to do with alleged threats of retaliation (for letters?  sheesh!).

Look, we understand how a man like Todd Stave might not want to be bothered!  Observe the great pains he's taken to protect his private information by ever-so-discreetly publishing it on a website with the low-key name of www.toddstave.com.  C'mon, now!  Isn't that what everbody does who wants to stay out of the limelight?  Don't believe me?  Well, what's this, then?

If there are concerns that his contact information was obtained by electronic stealth and skulking about, let the preceding paragraph put such concerns to rest.

As you read the Operation Rescue article, you'll see a video where Stave attacked a pro-life demonstrator.  The venue of that was a September 13th protest at a parents' event at Robert Frost School in Rockville MD.  LifeSite News details it here.  If you cannot see that video, please click here.  The demonstrator plans to file charges.

More Pro-Abortion Criminal Behavior At The Abortuary Today

Today between 9:45 and 10:00am, on a street corner near the Planned Parenthood where we offer Christian witness, a guy took extreme umbrage with that witness and tried to steal the sign pictured at the right.  We can only assume that when the truth hurts, it really hurts, especially when the one in discomfort does not welcome the truth at all.  In the name of progressive "tolerance" and "respect for diversity", he tried to steal the sign.  When I noticed the incident, he had the sign tucked under his arm.  We called out to him; one of our group called the police and I pulled out my camcorder.  He or his girlfriend (I suspect the latter) had a grain of common sense and let go of the sign by the time I turned on my camcorder.  The rest is apparent in the video that now follows.  Click here if you cannot see embedded video.

I realize it's probably difficult to make out the perpetrator, since it seems that these "clinic defenders" felt they had to protect a thief and vandal in his misdeed (more on that later), so here's a still-shot.


He and his girlfriend walked away as we delivered them some well-placed rebukes.  He turned as though to come back, but it appeared that his girl friend restrained him as she took his arm.  I wonder if she's proud of her knight in less-than-shining armor?  Here's a still shot of the charming couple.

Now let's get back to this escort who attempted to block my camcorder.  His orange vest identifies him as an operative of the Washington Area Clinic Defense Task Force.  This bunch has their own web site.  On it is stated their goals.  Don't they sound oh-so-noble?  It sounds like their main purpose is to keep us "antis" from the women going in.  Heaven help us if we actually (gasp!) talk to them or even (shriek!) hand them a pamphlet! 

Whatever your position on abortion is, clearly the action of blocking my recording in this instance had nothing whatsoever to do with the stated WACDTF goals - unless, of course, those goals have been revised to include the aiding and giving cover to would-be thieves and vandals.  Moreover, take a look at the second line under their (so-called) Nonviolence Policy.  The escorts are there at the invitation of the clinics!  Hmmm!  Does that mean "the clinic" - in this case, Planned Parenthood of Metropolitan DC - would assume any responsibility for any escort misbehavior?  Good question!  So would Planned Parenthood be responsible for this escort's giving cover to this vandal?  Maybe they should ponder that a bit - just a suggestion!

Pro-Lifers' Free Speech Rights Vindicated In Harford County MD

In the summer of 2008, a number of pro-life demonstrators were arrested in Harford County.  Some of the young women were subjected to multiple strip searches.  The pro-lifers subsequently filed civil suit, with the assistance of the Alliance Defense Fund, American Catholic Lawyers' Association and the Thomas More Society.  Defend Life, to which I link on the right side bar, was one of the plaintiffs.

On July 13th, federal judge Richard Bennett ruled in favor of the pro-life plaintiffs, agreeing that their First and Fourth Amendment rights were utterly disregarded by Maryland state troopers.  We congratulate our pro-life colleagues and give thanks to God.

Another "Tolerant Pro-Choice" Person

UPDATE: As of July 7th, the perpetrator has been apprehended and charged.  See the OR post.


This happened outside Southwestern Women's Options of Albuquerque, NM.  Click here if you can't see embedded video.

Democrat Candidate Commits Violence Against Pro-Life Activist

Lifenews reports that during last year's March for Life on January 24th, a Democratic candidate for the Fairfax County (VA) Board of Education for deliberately striking a march participant with her vehicle.  I direct you to the Lifenews article for the details of the incident and the criminal charges that Charisse Espy Glassman faces in the District.  Read all the way down to see how the automobile is becoming the weapon of choice as baby-murder advocates strike out against pro-lifers who prick their consciences.  Here's the Washington Post write-up.

One has to wonder what took her so long to cease her political campaign.  Did it take that much convincing for her to get it through her skull that vehicular assault (I wonder why the charge isn't attempted vehicular homicide) does not look good on a political resume (although it didn't hurt Ted Kennedy too much).  One also has to wonder just what her educational philosophy would have been, had she actually won a seat on that school board.  No wonder our public schools are in such lousy shape!
