Liberal Media Ignores Brutal Assault on Two Pro-Life Men

This story should infuriate you.

Two elderly pro-lifers were peacefully praying and offering literature outside a Baltimore-area Planned Parenthood clinic when they were savagely attacked and beaten, one dangerously close to death, by an enraged abortion supporter. And even worse, the attacker literally told a Planned Parenthood employee to hold his drink so he could nearly kill these innocent men. And instead of calling the police or asking him to stop, she just held the drink.

This is sick. This man should be locked up before he actually does kill someone. And in the meantime, while Baltimore authorities attempt to locate the assailant, the mainstream media, the Left, Maryland leadership, and even the Biden Administration have been suspiciously quiet. How long before another abortion radical gets the idea that this violent bully got away with it and commits a similar attack?

The ACLJ has no intention of being quiet. We’ve represented scores of pro-life counselors and volunteers and their life-saving work. And we’re taking action now to represent these two men who were brutally attacked and seriously injured for trying to minister to desperate mothers and save innocent babies.

As reported by LifeNews (warning: graphic imagery in link):

Police have confirmed that a pro-abortion man brutally assaulted [two] older pro-life advocates outside a Planned Parenthood abortion business over the weekend. They have not apprehended the suspect, but ACLJ officials will work hand in hand with them to provide justice.

Jordan Sekulow, Executive Director of the ACLJ, told LifeNews, “ACLJ is representing Mark Crosby and Dick Schaefer, two pro-life [advocates] who were brutally beaten outside a Planned Parenthood clinic in Baltimore, Maryland on Friday[.]”

“While the assailant is on the run, the ACLJ, working with the Baltimore Police Department, will ensure justice is served in both civil and criminal courts,” he added.

Schafer is reportedly at home recovering from his injuries but Crosby, pictured, was injured much more seriously.

We generally try to shield our members from disturbing or graphic content, but if you can stomach it, we think it’s important to see the photos of our clients after the attack. Our clients are senior citizens. They were defenseless. It makes me sick that a pro-abortion terrorist felt emboldened to commit this horrific act.

No video of the assault has been released yet, but it is our understanding that there is footage of the attack, and the Baltimore police are reviewing it in their search for the attacker. But according to witnesses, one of our clients, Mark Crosby, was tackled into a large planter, made of solid concrete or stone, and then he was kicked in the face. He is currently blind in one eye as a result of this barbaric assault. The pictures of his injuries are hard to look at, and impossible to get out of your head.

That’s why we will not rest until the man who committed this atrocity is captured and charged, and we will be in court to see that he receives the maximum sentence.

Attacks on pro-life pregnancy centers escalated after the reversal of Roe v. Wade last year. And there’s been little response, or even concern, from the Left and the Biden Administration. But as we’ve told you, the Left worships at the altar of abortion. Planned Parenthood provides millions of dollars to the campaigns of pro-abortion candidates, including Joe Biden. Their silence could have dangerous consequences. We have to counter their silence as loudly as we can.

The message must be sent that this is never okay, and there will be harsh consequences for attacks on innocent pro-life volunteers. We will aid the Baltimore authorities in any way possible until justice is served and this man is locked up.

Today’s full Sekulow broadcast includes more discussion of this terrible attack and what the ACLJ is doing to represent the victims and help bring the attacker to justice. We’re also joined by ACLJ Senior Counsel for Global Affairs Mike Pompeo to discuss China’s recent rejection of an offer to meet with Biden’s Secretary of Defense, and what that might indicate about relations with the People’s Republic of China and the rest of the world.
