Peaceful pro-lifers perplexed by police
Matt C. Abbott
First, please pray for the repose of the souls of two dedicated pro-lifers who died recently: Richard Herner, of Aurora, Ill., and James Vincent Connelly, father of 16 (he and his wife of 54 years raised eight biological children, adopted seven more and were foster parents to many others) and grandfather of 22. Requiescant in pace.
More often than not, the police treat peaceful pro-life protestors in a fair manner. But there are times when they don't. Two recent examples of the latter are below.
