Elderly pro-life activist forgives woman who attacked her outside abortion clinic

Donna Durning, told the Louisville Courier Journal that Janaya Alyce Gregory, 31, shoved her to the ground.

“She grabbed me by both of my shoulders and she simply, really, pitched me across the sidewalk,” the elderly woman claimed.

Gregory has been charged with second-degree assault.

Despite the incident, Durning said she has forgiven her attacker.

“I believe that the lady who caused this injury needs prayers,” Durning said.

“And I’m forgiving her and I would hope that people would also pray for her.”

CCTV of the encounter, which was captured by cameras belonging to the next-door crisis pregnancy centre, BSideU, also showed a woman rushing to the back of the car Gregory entered after pushing Durning.

The woman can be seen taking down the car’s license plate number, which ultimately led police to Gregory.

Durning, who has volunteered as a pro-life “sidewalk counsellor” five days a week for nearly 25 years, has been discharged from hospital and is staying at one of her sister’s homes while she recovers.
