PROGRESSIVE PRO-LIFE LEADER ARRESTED AT DC PLANNED PARENTHOOD
Washington, D.C. (Thursday, December 15, 2022) — This morning, pro-life atheist Terrisa Bukovinac was arrested outside the Washington D.C. Carol Whitehall Moses Planned Parenthood for two weeks ago removing and disposing of a yard sign which promoted abortion.
Bukovinac is the founder and executive director of Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising (PAAU) and former President of Democrats for Life of America. She was released three hours after being detained and was charged with “theft II”. Her hearing is scheduled for January 11th in DC Superior Court.
The sign was placed on public property and read “abortion is healthcare”. According to DC regulation (N101.3, N101.7.8) unless the facility obtained a permit, the signage was itself in violation of DC law.
After her release Bukovinac stated, “It’s not surprising that a murderous institution like Planned Parenthood would conspire with the state to silence and intimidate pro-life actions. It is my moral and civic duty to remove signs on public property that promote violence, eugenics, and mass murder, and I am committed to removing any and all additional signs or propaganda funded and placed by Planned Parenthood in my community with messaging that exploits vulnerable unborn babies and their parents. I am not backing down until every baby is free to live.”
This arrest came days after PAAU activists breached the property lines of 3 abortion facilities in the DC area to perform Pink Rose Rescues, offering life-affirming resources to those inside. Abortion supporters will not succeed in silencing those acting in defiance of the murderous abortion industry. The preborn are people and abortion is murder, and we will act like it!
