An elderly pro-lifer was brutally beaten while he was praying outside of a Planned Parenthood clinic in San Francisco.
“Old man, stay on the ground,” the thug said.
Investigators say the suspect snatched a banner the pro-lifer was holding and tried to get away. The 85-year-old victim used a stick to stop the guy.
“I tried to keep him from taking it and that was it,” the victim told NBC News. “Then he knocked me down and kicked me.”
The attack was captured on video:

The victim is a member of 40 Days For Life, a pro-life advocacy group that conducts silent prayer demonstrations outside Planned Parenthood abortion mills.
This was reportedly the third time the suspect had harassed and bullied pro-lifers at the San Francisco clinic. The victim was treated for minor injuries.
