Our team of ProLife campaigners and outreach workers have had all sorts of things thrown at us by hate-filled supporters of abortion, but never a petrol bomb. But that's exactly what was hurled at the Portuguese capital’s first annual March for Life (Marcha pela Vida) last weekend.
During the closing ceremony of the March 21 Portugal March for Life in front of the Portuguese parliament, where many families with young children and babies were gathered, an unidentified 39-year-old man threw a Molotov cocktail onto the stage.
The man was quickly stopped by march participants before the police arrived. While several children and their parents were drenched with petrol, no one was hurt.
The otherwise peaceful first annual March for Life Lisbon had drawn a whopping 4,000 pro-lifers who witnessed to the unborn.
