Hundreds of pro-lifers rally in Philadelphia to call out Democrat ‘bully’ Brian Sims

A lineup of leading pro-life advocates gathered in Philadelphia Friday morning outside of the Planned Parenthood abortion facility where State Rep. Brian Sims filmed himself berating peaceful pro-life activists, including teen girls.

Over the weekend, the Pennsylvania Democrat posted a video in which he followed a woman who was quietly walking and praying a rosary, attempted to shove his phone in her face, and repeatedly called her her “shameful,” “disgusting,” “racist,” and an “old white lady.”

Another of Sims’ videos shows him approaching three girls outside Planned Parenthood, who he calls “a bunch of pseudo-Christian protesters who’ve been out here shaming young girls for being here,” then offers “$100 to anybody who will identify these three.” Afterward he approaches a male protester and asks, “What makes you think it’s your job to tell women what to do with their bodies?” But before the man can answer, Sims declares, “The truth is, I’m not really asking, because I don’t care. Shame on you,” and walks away.

The videos sparked an intense critical response online, with conservative commentator Matt Walsh proposing a pro-life rally outside the abortion center to “show Sims and everyone else that we are not going to sit back submissively while pro-lifers are abused for speaking out in defense of the unborn.”

The idea quickly caught on, and Live Action got involved to organize it in a matter of days, with “hundreds” turning out according to NBC Philadelphia.
