The war on women has taken a turn in a new direction: in the last few weeks, Leftist abortion worshippers have attacked teenage girls who have dared to stand up for life.

First up, at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), a feminist-studies professor physically assaulted a 16-year-old pro-life demonstrator after said 16-year-old tried to retrieve a sign the professor stole and destroyed.

That’s right, folks; a grown woman physically assaulted a teenage girl.

According to the National Review, Associate Professor Mireille Miller-Young, whose specialty is black cultural studies, pornography, and sex work, led a group of UCSB students to chant “tear down this sign.” She then proceeded to steal one of the signs from the pro-life students and left with the students with whom she was chanting.

Thrin Short, the 16-year-old pro-life demonstrator, followed Miller-Young while recording the incident. The video is in the custody of the Santa Barbara law-enforcement. While filming the altercation, Thrin’s sister Joan called the police.

When they confronted Miller-Young, she was getting onto an elevator. When Short tried to get into the elevator to retrieve the sign, Miller-Young kept pushing her out of the elevator.

In the ensuing scuffle, Miller-Young scratched and pushed Short out of the elevator and then left on another elevator. You can see the pictures of Thrin’s arm following the altercation in the pictures provided by the organization Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust seen below.

Scratches

Professor Miller-Young has since been charged with theft, battery, and assault. In the report to campus police, the professor claimed a “moral right” to behave in the manner she did.

Let’s understand this: a grown woman approaches a 16-year-old, steals her sign, proceeds to get physical with her when confronted, and then destroys someone else’s property, and now she’s claiming the moral high ground?

All in a day’s work for the American Left.

Incident number two involves a ‘comedian’ named Laura Levites and a twitter engagement on Tuesday in which she said:

But it gets better: On Wednesday, she was at it again, but this time a 17-year-old named Bethany Bowra got involved. When Levites tweeted:

Bowra asked “@LauraLevites Because murder should totally be legal, right?”

And with all of the Lefty tolerance she could muster, Levites responded:

And there you have it, folks. A grown woman saying that a 17-year-old should be murdered is what passes for tolerance and civility on the Left.

And if you keep following Ms. Levites tweets, you can see that she, like Professor Miller-Young, proceeds to take the high ground after engaging in nasty, petty, and vindictive language.

And in the typical fashion of progressives, there is no real argument being advanced.  Only the sinister act of jamming scissors into the brain of a child and throwing the dead child into the trash.

But remember, it’s conservatives who have the war on women.

When I think about the tailspin and decline our Republic is in, I wonder if there is any reversing course. I wonder if the young generation, especially the Millennials (who put Obama in the White House) and younger, are doomed to a nation in a permanent moral, economic, and cultural abyss.

Then incidents like this happen where we have teenagers pushing back against the insanity. And I see a glimmer of hope that our great nation is not lost yet, that this coming generation has great leaders in it like Thrin Short, Bethany Bowra, and others.

It’s days like this when you take a look around you and take stock of why you keep fighting. It’s not time to give up the ship just yet.
