A case involving an attack by a South Carolina abortion clinic worker against a nine-year-old pro-life protestor has been settled.
Ted Williams of Charleston and his daughter Katherine have conducted peaceful demonstrations at the Charleston Women's Center abortion clinic for seven years.
"The escorts there really don't like her to come. They don't want her there," Williams notes. "People who are going there to have abortions see a young kid and it makes them think, makes them change their mind, and they ask us questions and then we give them help and alternatives."
According to LifeNews.com, clinic employee Larry Center has targeted the protestors for years and regularly "screams vulgarities" at pro-lifers. On May 2, he attacked Katherine Williams.
"This particular Saturday he was really raring to go and just simply walked up to her, said something to her, and kicked the sign," Ted Williams explains.
South CarolinaThe police report says Katherine was struck in the foot and shin when Center kicked her sign. Center was prosecuted and was, in effect, given probation. However, he was ordered to not get within 15 feet of the girl for six months. Williams had hoped for a harsher outcome for Center, but he has told OneNewsNow he and his daughter have resumed demonstrations.
Williams says he and his daughter will continue their work because they have a higher calling.
