A pro-life advocate who was protesting at the Bristol Regional Women’s Center in Tennessee recently released a video of an alleged attack which included what sounds like sexual advances and physical attack. The attackers are even alleged to have licked her.
Verbal harassment is common among the pro-choice deathscorts at abortion clinics around the country and will typically resort to any tactics possible to block and oppose pro-life supporters who desire to offer mothers the actual “choice” to save their child.
In the video below, you can see and hear the sidewalk counselor Erika Schanzenbach repeatedly ask the deathscorts to stop touching her and to move away from her.
A legal firm, Thomas More Society, has taken up the case and offered this statement:

Thomas More Society Counsel Michael McHale explained that the offenders have often sought out Schanzenbach for harassment wherever she stands, even when she remains across the street from the abortion facility to avoid confrontation. The offenders subject Schanzenbach to a variety of abuses, including surrounding her and blocking her from view with large, open umbrellas; licking her arms; following her very closely wherever she walks โ even back to her vehicle hundreds of feet away from the abortion facility; stealing and destroying her leaflets; and hurling profanities, taunts, and obscene gestures directly in her face.

These abusers boast online about their illegal conduct, identifying themselves as “Pro-Choice Bristol.” Their Facebook post, “Pink Manifesto,” states that they will “use any means necessary to physically block” pro-life witnesses “from sight” and will do “anything at all not being enforced equally for the protection of patients whether demonstrably legal or not.” The radical group also declares that “When local government fails” it will “step in.”
Schanzenbach has been on the receiving end of harassment, abuse, and stalking by Denise Skeen, along with Denise’s adult daughters, Alethea and Rowan. Each is named as a respondent in petitions for court orders of protection. Also named is Cheryl Hanzlik, who on multiple occasions has attempted to cause permanent hearing damage by pointing a bullhorn blaring loud police siren sounds directly into Schazenbach’s face. Supplemental court complaints have also been filed against Hanzlik and Alethea Skeen for ongoing illegal harassment
