Pushing a pro-abortion agenda, “Grey’s Anatomy” recently aired an episode falsely depicting pro-lifers as violent terrorists. The episode culminated in a scene in which a pro-life activist drives a car into an abortionist and her trainee. The episode’s director, Kim Raver (also a member of the cast), says she believes it’s realistic to show violence against pro-abortion medical professionals; in reality, the perpetrators are often abortion advocates — not advocates for protecting life in the womb.
Raver spoke recently with The Hollywood Reporter, describing why she felt the episode was so important.
“It’s a very real moment. It is really happening, and that scares me,” Raver said of the conflict between abortion activists and pro-lifers following the overturn of Roe v. Wade. “That scares me as a woman, as an actor representing doctors and what our doctors are having to go through. So I wanted to tell that story, that these stories are happening and this violence is happening against our medical teams.”
Raver also noted the hit-and-run scene specifically, mentioning it as if pro-lifers are routinely driving into abortion advocates with their cars — which simply isn’t the case.
“I looked at some real protests of cars driving into people and it’s terrifying. I wanted that moment to be really gut-emotional, it’s specifically designed where it’s kind of the calm of the storm…It’s what’s happening out there. It’s what’s happening to the Addison characters, that they’re dealing with real violence. I wanted that to be a kind of gasp and questioning moment of what is happening today,” she said.
However, despite Raver’s claims and the show’s projection, the opposite is true. Violence in which people are struck or threatened by cars is happening — but it’s overwhelmingly against the pro-lifers, not the other way around. Sadly, most of these incidents never make mainstream news.
Here are just a handful of the known instances in which pro-lifers were struck or threatened by abortion advocates using their vehicles as weapons:
- In November 2022, Planned Parenthood abortionist James Hobby intentionally struck a sidewalk counselor with his car in Fairview Heights, Illinois.
- A woman in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee, was charged with four felony counts of aggravated assault in April 2022 after she tried to run over a pro-life group standing outside a Carafem abortion facility. “I hate those people for standing out there. It’s a woman’s right to choose,” she is said to have admitted.
- The late Rep. Jackie Walorski was nearly run over by a car as she was praying outside an Indiana abortion facility in 2021. “On Saturday, May 15th, I joined a group of pro-life Hoosiers in prayer while they gathered peacefully near a South Bend abortion clinic,” she said in a statement. “As I was leaving, a vehicle traveling quickly down Lincoln Way West swerved toward the group and came to an abrupt stop just a few feet away from me.”
- In 2019, two men standing outside an Alabama abortion facility were nearly hit by a car. The vehicle came so close to hitting the two men that it struck one of their bags, scattering pamphlets and bibles across the grass.
- A Catholic priest was purposely hit by a car while he prayed outside an Ohio abortion facility in 2017.
- A pro-abortion extremist was arrested in North Carolina in 2015 after she tried to run over pro-lifers. “We have pictures of tire tracks in the mud and grass where she came all the way up on the sidewalk,” one of the victims said. “Literally, if they hadn’t dove out of the way, she would have mowed them over. It was one of the scariest moments I’ve ever had.”
- In 2013, an RN working at Hilltop Women’s Reproductive Clinic in El Paso, Texas, threatened a man who was praying with 40 Days for Life. “One of these days I am going to run over you,” she told him after attempting to hit him.
Violent acts against pro-lifers aren’t just committed with vehicles. Threats, assaults, and firebombings are just some of the incidents that have routinely occurred, many in the months since the first indication that the Supreme Court was likely to overturn Roe v. Wade. FBI Director Christopher Wray admitted the overwhelming disparity in violent acts when he revealed that since Roe’s overturn, 70% of abortion-related violence and threats have been perpetrated against pro-life groups.
Despite the narrative that Hollywood is promoting, violent acts continue to be perpetrated by those defending the most violent act possible — the ending of an innocent preborn life.
