PHOTOS: Heated abortion confrontation in NYC
New York City, N.Y., Jul 3, 2022 / 05:56 am (CNA).
Hundreds of pro-abortion demonstrators tried to block a monthly pro-life march and prayer vigil at a New York City Planned Parenthood abortion clinic Saturday, setting off a tense, hours’ long confrontation in Lower Manhattan.
With NYPD officers slowly pushing against the crowd, the marchers eventually reached the clinic. There were no immediate reports of arrests.
A counter-demonstration organized by NYC for Abortion Rights began Saturday morning outside the Basilica of Old St. Patrick’s Cathedral on Mulberry Street, where a monthly Witness for Life Mass is held at 8 a.m. on the first Saturday of the month. The Mass is followed by the recitation of the Rosary outside the nearby Planned Parenthood clinic, then benediction back at the basilica before a social with the Sisters of Life.
On Saturday, counter-demonstrators tried to stop participants from leaving the basilica, though marchers managed to slip out a back door, AMNY reported.
The marchers’ path to the clinic was blocked by pro-abortion protesters who pushed back against police trying to clear the way.
Kathryn Jean Lopez, senior fellow at the National Review Institute and an editor-at-large of National Review, tweeted from the scene that it took marchers more than an hour to reach the clinic, which is just a block from the basilica. Marchers were “praying all the way,” she said.
Outside the basilica, demonstrators chanted, “Thank God for abortion,” and “F—- the Church,” among other slogans.
The demonstration comes a little over a week since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the 1973 landmark decision that legalized abortion nationwide. With Roe no longer in effect, the issue of abortion is left up to the states to legislate.

Civilized people are pro-life and pro-marriage. Those who are shouting obscenities, disrupting religious ceremonies, vandalizing and assaulting are now showing their true colors – they are barbarians. They need to repent and become what God wants everyone to be.
Is this just more propaganda to help them create their civil war?
Pushing HATE and Division? Nothing is a coincidence, they have a plan and we are the subject matter…
