Tomislav Čunović, lawyer and executive director of 40 Days for Life International, denounced the March 1 attack by abortion activists on a group of people peacefully praying for an end to abortion in Frankfurt, Germany.
In a March 3 statement Čunović said the attack was carried out by about 20 individuals “from the extreme left” who harassed, threatened, and insulted a group of people who were praying the Rosary about 100 feet from the facilities of the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) in the Palmengarten area, a distance established by law for this type of peaceful demonstration.
“Although this arrangement also respects the participants’ right to assemble and the privacy of pregnant women who visit the center, and does so in a proportional and legal manner, as required by the courts, neither the abortion lobby (Pro Familia or IPPF ) nor their sympathetic political elites are willing to accept this constitutional solution nor the legal reality,” the executive director of 40 Days for Life International pointed out.
“Despite threats of physical violence, the vigil participants refused to disperse. Some assailants wearing hoodies approached them and shouted in their faces, harassing them, mocking them, insulting them, provoking them and intimidating them with aggressive behavior,” the pro-life leader said.
