Pro-life teen assaulted ahead of Kansas abortion referendum; woman arrested, charged

Aug. 2: The Leawood Police Department told The Christian Post on Tuesday that a 37-year-old woman was arrested and charged in connection with an alleged attack on a pro-life canvasser Sunday.

The pro-life group Students for Life of America announced Monday that 18-year-old Grace Hartsock was assaulted in Leawood, Kansas, Sunday as she participated in the organization's door-knocking campaign. "The Leawood Police Department was contacted on Sunday by a subject. ... She stated that she had been going door-to-door regarding the upcoming election," the police statement reads.

"As she was walking away from an address in Leawood, she was struck by

a female resident. The victim was not injured. As part of our investigation on Sunday, the 37-year-old suspect was arrested, charged in Leawood Municipal Court with misdemeanor battery and released."

Supporters of the amendment aim to reverse the Kansas Supreme Court's creation of "a nearly unlimited 'right' to abortion" in the state constitution.

In an interview with The Christian Post, Dana Stancavage, the press specialist and online editor for Students for Life of America, elaborated on the incident that occurred Sunday.

Stancavage is one of several Students for Life activists on the ground in Kansas ahead of Tuesday's vote, along with Hartsock, a Texas native who is a rising freshman at Benedictine College. About two hours into the door-knocking, Hartsock encountered a woman who shoved her "with both hands in the chest," Stancavage said. "Grace didn't fall, but the woman with closed fists began hitting her in the head, and Grace was trying to just block herself and move out of the driveway and flee from that woman."

The woman also allegedly told Hartsock, "I hope you get raped" and "I hope you get hit by a car."

"She did also throw a piece of bread [that] hit Grace in the face," Stancavage added.	* form christianpost.com

Teachers

With August being “back to school time” we tend to focus our thought of blessings toward the teachers, bus drivers, and other staff that make our schools a good and safe place for our children. Times ore not what they used to be, it is their hard work and dedication in the midst of persecution that make a real difference.

Thank you for your service!

Living as Light

God calls preachers, healers, and teachers-

(1 Corinthians 12:27-31)

27 Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it. 28 And God has placed in the church first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, of helping, of guidance, and of different kinds of tongues. 29 Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles? 30 Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak in tongues[d]? Do all interpret? 31 Now eagerly desire the greater gifts.

Before this, Paul tells us that we are the body of Christ. As the body is one body of many members (head, foot, hand, etc.) we are one body of Christ, made up of many members. If one of us hurts, we all hurt.

Beginning in verse 27, Paul reveals to us that we all have different spiritual gifts. Not only does Paul reveal that the skills of preaching, teaching and healing are form God; we learn that these are spiritual gifts, not given by man. So, let’s try showing some appreciation to our teachers this school year.

Teen attacked for Pro-life

If the previous article is not disturbing to you, it should be. We often view adults as being mature and responsible. The 18 year old girl was attacked by a 37 year old full grown woman. This girl was attacked for supporting her High School pro-life group. This, and we hear the message that Christians are not being persecuted and religious rights don’t need defending.
