MI: Six charged with misdemeanors after incident at abortion clinic
SOUTHFIELD — On Thursday, March 30, six members of the Red Rose Rescue, a coalition of pro-life people, were sentenced for misdemeanor charges, including trespassing, resisting/obstructing a police officer and disorderly conduct, following an incident at Northland Family Planning Center’s Southfield location.
The group entered the clinic on April 23, 2022, handing out literature on alternatives to abortion, and they reportedly refused to leave when they were asked to.
The group reportedly went “limp” when police tried to take them off the property, and they had to be wheeled off in wheelchairs.
The six were found guilty before 46th District Court Judge Cynthia Arvant in February. Defense Attorney Robert Muise of the American Freedom Law Center filed a motion requesting “defense of others” in their case, as he believed the six to be acting out of defense for the unborn.
However, the motion was denied due to technicalities and differing beliefs surrounding whether a fetus is considered a person.
Muise filed an additional motion after the convictions that stated that on March 12, the defendants’ counsel learned that the security company that was there that day was not licensed to operate as a security company.
