A man is now being charged with trying to hit a pro-life activist with his car as he was standing outside of an abortion clinic located in New Mexico. This act is representative of an increase in hostilities that has been happening ever since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and returned the issue of abortion back to the states, per the 10th Amendment. For those who may not be aware, the 10th Amendment lists the powers that the federal government has and reserves anything not listed therein as being up to the states to decide for themselves.
A report from The Christian Post says that the incident happened a month ago, when a person who has been identified as Derek Moore allegedly tried to hit Abortion Free New Mexico leader Henry “Bud” Shaver while he was participating in a demonstration outside of the Whole Woman’s Abortion Facility located in Albuquerque. If you don’t think liberalism, especially as it pertains to the support for child murder — abortion — isn’t demonic in origin, I’m not sure what it’s going to take to convince you.
According to the pro-life group Operation Rescue, after the alleged swipe at Shaver with his vehicle, Moore got out of his car and took one of Shaver’s signs away from him.
“We are glad that Shaver, a long-time friend of Operation Rescue, survived the threat and followed through with filing charges against this individual,” Operation Rescue President Troy Newman went on to say in a recent statement. “It appears that this was not the first time he has threatened pro-lifers who are peacefully and respectfully offering hopeful solutions to abortion vulnerable women and girls.”
An Albuquerque Police Department report filed on Aug. 15 and posted online by Operation Rescue notes that Moore “swerved towards” Shaver, “then back into the roadway.” Shaver told police that other pro-life activists “had similar encounters with an individual with a similar description that matched Derek Moore.” For his part, according to the police report, Moore claimed that he “got distracted and accidentally” got too close to the curb before he “swerved back into his lane.”
“Derek stated he saw someone … obstructing the sidewalk with a bunch of garbage, so he parked his car,” continued the police report, with Moore claiming that Shaver was engaging in an “illegal protest and obstructing the sidewalk.” Moore was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and larceny “miscellaneous under $250.”
The state of New Mexico does allow for elective abortion throughout a woman’s pregnancy, but many local municipalities have managed to ban the procedure, citing federal law. Last December, the state’s Supreme Court listened to oral arguments from a case that focused on whether New Mexico’s government could stop some of these localities from banning abortion. Obviously, that did not work out in favor of those who want to kill their children in the womb for the sake of convenience.
Pray for the bold and the brave who protest outside these organizations and put their lives at risk in order to try and save the lives of innocent pre-born children. It’s dangerous work, but it must be done.
