Pro-life reporter Savannah Craven Antao was punched twice in the face during a street interview in Harlem last week. The attacker, a Planned Parenthood supporter, disagreed with Antao’s views on protecting unborn children and foster kids. Video shows the woman screaming obscenities before striking Antao, leaving her with cuts, bruises, and a swollen eye.
Antao, who works with the group Live Action, says she’s “bruised but blessed” despite the trauma. She called for prayers for her attacker, saying the woman must be “hurting deeply” to resort to violence. Her husband Henry filmed the attack and reported it to police.
This isn’t the first time pro-life voices have faced hostility. Antao shared that many people “want to hit” her for defending the unborn. But she refuses to back down, calling abortion a “violent act” that harms women and children. The attack highlights how some on the left silence debate through intimidation instead of reason.
The incident went viral, with conservatives praising Antao’s courage. They argue this violence proves their point: abortion supporters can’t defend their views without anger. Many see the attack as proof that woke activists reject peaceful dialogue and target people of faith.
Antao’s story has sparked outrage among pro-life groups. They say the mainstream media ignores attacks on conservatives while amplifying minor offenses against liberals. Some demand stricter penalties for assaults on political or religious activists.
New York City’s liberal leaders face criticism for allowing such violence. Crime rates have soared since soft-on-crime policies began, and conservatives blame woke politics for creating unsafe streets. They argue this attack shows the city cares more about political agendas than protecting citizens.
Despite her injuries, Antao continues spreading her message. She believes every life matters—born or unborn—and that love will overcome hate. Her resilience inspires pro-life supporters nationwide to keep fighting for what they see as America’s moral future.
The attack exposes a growing divide in America. Conservatives say Antao’s experience proves the left fears honest debate about life’s sacredness. They vow to protect free speech and religious values against what they call “radical abortion extremism.”
