Pro-Life Influencer Brutally Attacked in NYC

Savannah Craven, a prominent pro-life influencer and conservative YouTuber, was viciously assaulted on Thursday whilst conducting street interviews in Harlem, New York City.
The attack, which left Craven bloodied and requiring hospital attention, has raised considerable concerns as this incident is yet another example of the escalating intolerance and violence from the radical left towards those with an opposing view.

Craven, known for her work with Live Action and Turning Point USA, was engaging pedestrians in a discussion about Planned Parenthood’s operations when the altercation occurred.
According to the video footage that was obtained during the interview, the assailant, identified only as a pro-abortion supporter, initially engaged in conversation with Craven. However, upon discovering her pro-life stance, the individual reportedly became enraged and began punching Craven in the face.

“I was just assaulted in Harlem interviewing people on the street. In cop car. Heading to hospital. Updates soon. ABORTION SUPPORTERS ARE VIOLENT!” Craven posted on X shortly after the incident, accompanied by photos of her bloodied face. Her husband, Henry Antao, later confirmed to Live Action that the attacker turned “aggressive and violent” upon learning of Savannah’s views, underscoring the hostility faced by conservatives in today’s polarized climate.
This incident is just further evidence of a broader pattern of aggression against those who dare to challenge the progressive orthodoxy on abortion.
Craven’s encounter left her with minor injuries that required immediate medical attention. As of this morning, she was reportedly in stable condition, aside from news of stiches being required, no other information on her has been released.

The New York Police Department has confirmed that Craven was transported from the scene in a patrol car, initially to search for the attacker before heading to a hospital.
Authorities have not yet released details about the suspect or whether an arrest has been made, prompting frustration from Craven’s supporters who demand swift justice.

This isn’t the first time a pro-life women has been attacked by a pro-abortion individual.
In October 2018, a disturbing incident unfolded in Toronto, Canada, when Marie-Claire Bissonnette, a young pro-life activist affiliated with the Campaign Life Coalition Youth, was physically assaulted while peacefully demonstrating outside an abortion clinic.
Así fue como este abortista canadiense golpeó a la líder provida Marie-Claire Bissonnette que participaba de un evento para dar testimonio público en Toronto de la tragedia del asesinato de niños por nacer.

When was the last time you heard of a pro-life woman attacking a feminist? Those stories simply do not exist.
If resorting to violence against those with opposing views is the preferred method, it is a tell-tale sign of one with an indefensible stance.
As the nation watches this story unfold, it serves as a stark illustration of the deep divide over abortion—and the lengths to which some will go to suppress opposing views.
For Americans, Savannah Craven’s ordeal is not just a personal tragedy but a call to action: a rallying cry to defend free expression and the sanctity of life against a tide of leftist aggression.
