Pro-Life Activist Punched During Abortion Interview in NYC

Savannah Craven Antao, a 23-year-old pro-life activist and reporter for Live Action, was violently sucker-punched during an on-the-street interview in Harlem while discussing abortion. The altercation, captured on video, escalated from a heated debate into physical violence when the unnamed assailant struck Antao multiple times, leaving her bloodied and requiring stitches. Antao described the attack as emblematic of the pro-choice movement's intolerance towards opposing views, stating, 'abortion is violence, and it creates violence.' Following the incident, the attacker, identified as Brianna Rivers, issued a non-apology on social media, implying that Antao deserved the assault. The NYPD is investigating but has not yet located Rivers, while Antao struggles with psychological effects from the attack, including flashbacks and stress. This violent incident has raised significant concerns about safety and respect in public discourse surrounding contentious issues like abortion.
