This time it's not a cop knocking down a septuagenarian, it's a religious whackjob accosting women going into a clinic to get their birth control and STD testing, and justifying the harassment because a small fraction of them are seeking abortions. Except that's too generous by half. The fact is they do not acknowledge who they're actually harassing.
I've tried hard to get good estimates on the percentage of women going into PP clinics for abortions vs other services, but those numbers aren't broken out. The available numbers suggest it's somewhere between 1 in 8 and 1 in 12, meaning between 7 in 8 and 11 in 12 are being harassed for no defensible reason at all.
In either case, mostly, what they're doing is preventing women from obtaining the most effective abortion-prevention service. Mostly, it makes them look like they're not about preventing abortions at all. Mostly, it makes them look like old men trying to insert themselves into the sex lives of young women, as if those young women were their personal property.
Full disclosure: I've taken, I dunno, call it just under a dozen young women to PP for their abortions ... oh wait, it was actually for birth control ... but then afterwards I took them for their abortions ... oh wait, none of them ever needed an abortion because they had birth control, unlike their friends who didn't get birth control.
Damn near guaranteed I've prevented more abortions than you have, chum, and more than this Houck freak, too, and I did it by supporting Planned Parenthood.
The Daily Wire calls the injured escort a protestor, and treats the actual protestor as a victim. Because it's propaganda, and spinning lies is what they do.
No one but you should be surprised by this.

According to court documents, the defendant is alleged to have twice assaulted a man because he was a volunteer reproductive health care clinic escort. The charges stem from two separate incidents both on October 13, 2021, which occurred at the Planned Parenthood Elizabeth Blackwell Health Center on Locust Street in Philadelphia, where Houck allegedly assaulted the victim, a 72-year-old man, identified in the Indictment as “B.L.,” because B.L. was a volunteer escort at the reproductive health care clinic. In the first incident, B.L. was attempting to escort two patients exiting the clinic, when the defendant forcefully shoved B.L. to the ground. In the second incident, the defendant verbally confronted B.L. and forcefully shoved B.L. to the ground in front of the Planned Parenthood center, causing injuries to B.L. that required medical attention.
I'm guessing he knocked him down the second time because the old dude could still get up after the first time. Looks like anger issues to me.
People can say whatever they like to the Daily Wire. I figure these folks are already busted and anything else they say needs to be supported by independent evidence. Short of that, I've got no reason to believe they were threatened by any FBI agents, let alone dozens of them or a SWAT team with drawn guns.
Let's see them make those claims in court, where there are consequences.
