4-year-old girl hit with rock thrown by pro-abortion demonstrators at pro-life rally

JEANNE SMITS lifesitenews.com A four-year-old girl received a gash on her temple from a stone that was hurled by pro-abortion counter-demonstrators during a prayerful demonstration against abortion in Nancy, a town in the North-East of France earlier this month. The demonstration took place on Nov. 16 under heavy police protection in one of the city’s main squares while an “antifascist” counter-protest gathered several hundred feet and attempted to disturb the group’s recitation of the Rosary. A few dozen pro-lifers had come together, answering the call of “SOS Tout-petits” (SOS Tiny ones), which held over thirty demonstrations in as many towns in France that Saturday for its 27th anniversary. While most of the pro-life protests were unmolested, a group of extreme-leftist revolutionaries in Nancy organized a picnic on “Place Alliance,” calling on their supporters to prevent the “fundamentalist Catholics” from “reciting their disgusting prayers.” According to the “antifacist” group La Horde, about 100 activists assembled there... When the anti-abortion prayers began in early afternoon they started shouting insults, blasphemous slogans and revolutionary chants, and throwing condoms. They also threw stones and other projectiles at the peaceful prolifers over the heads of the riot police. At 3 p.m., while the noise and shouting were at their highest, a little girl who was praying with her parents and three siblings was hit with a stone, leaving her bleeding and in tears, trying to hide in her mother’s coat. A plain-clothes security officer offered to escort the family, from nearby Metz, to their van, but they refused. The father explained later that he had no confidence in the police, having been manhandled by security forces a few months back during the opening ceremony of the Metz tramway because he was waving a flag of the anti-gay “marriage” demonstration, “la Manif pour tous.” For the same reason, the family refused to lodge a complaint over the affair. to read more click here: lifesitenews.com
