Pro-life journalist in Germany has car torched

Pro-abortion activists have set a German pro-life journalist’s car ablaze [1], after he encouraged readers to attend the German March for Life.

In an online post, the extremist group Feministische Autonome Zelle were unapologetic about their violent tactics saying: “Every year he heavily promotes the March for Life…We torched his SUV today.” The group also revealed the journalist’s home location stating that he “lives there with his children.”

Responding to the attack, Michael Robinson, SPUC Director of Communications said: “The pro-life movement continues to make progress across Europe. However, as the pro-life movement advances, so do attacks on pro-life people. We will not be bullied into silence.”

He added: “We will not be intimidated as we continue our entirely peaceful work as we seek to restore a culture of life.”

Acts of aggression aimed at pro-life people across the country during the past year have been recorded in Manchester, Cardiff, Nottingham and London.

Mr Robinson said: “Over the past year, we have seen a rise in hostility against pro-life people by pro-abortion extremists. These attacks arise from their fear of a pro-life movement which is strong and is unmistakably advancing.”
