Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising (PAAU), and well as Joan Andrews Bell, founder of the Apostolate of Gloria Dei, and Jonathan Darnell, founder of Get Serious Church — were tried and sentenced for level 1 trespassing as a consequence of pro-life activism at the Alexandria Women’s Center in Alexandria, Virginia.

Bell and Handy were sentenced to 30 days in county jail; all others were sentenced to four days after all defendants pleaded “no contest.” All six were taken directly to jail from the courthouse.

The six were arrested on November 16, 2021 after entering the Alexandria Women’s Center for a Pink Rose Rescue action, which a PAAU press release defines as “a nonviolent direct action in which activists enter abortion businesses, hand out life-affirming literature [and] pink roses[,] and offer hope and financial resources to the patients at risk of exploitation by the Abortion Industrial Complex.”

Staff eventually separated clients from the activists, taking them into a separate room, at which point the pro-lifers broke out in song and gave speeches until they were taken away by police.

So it is OK for the abortionists to destroy and firebomb the antiabortion establishments but a truly peaceful demonstration is illegal ?

Well well well, isn’t it amazing that these six individuals were arrested for trespassing and the very hoodlums who destroyed property for the BLM movement. You talk about bias. They are making wrong right and right as being wrong.

Time for humanity to BURY ALL BABY KILLERS. Whoever is behind arrests needs noose. IF POLCE ARE WITH WOKE, they force us to NOT BACK BLUE, but back ambushers. YOU WANT CITIZENS SUPPORT? ACT LIKE IT. YOU ARE EITHER WITH AMERICA OR YOU ARE HEADED FOR GITMO.

There is a difference between lost and stolen. Can you say there was No voter fraud. Nobody can say that with out lying. Even some well known Democrats has said there was some fraud. Fact is it was rapid because over a 100 people has been arrested for dropping off hundreds of ballots in drop boxes. The already admitted this in Court.
