Pa. state Dem defends himself following backlash after harassing anti-abortion protester

In another video posted on his account, Sims defended his actions because he has seen people protest outside the clinic near his residence for over 15 years. He also explained he has been a volunteer escort for patients of the clinic.

“I will fiercely protect a woman’s right to make the best choices for her health & her body, unimpeded,” Sims tweeted with the video. “I also know that two wrongs don’t make a right, especially on the front lines of a civil rights battle. I can do better, and I will do better, for the women of Pennsylvania.”

“I’ve have seen firsthand the insults, the slurs, the attacks, and the racism that those protesters aim at mostly young girls going for clinical care … what I should’ve shown you in that video was protesters pray at, not to silently pray for, people coming in and out of Planned Parenthood,” Sims said.

Sims admits he was aggressive with the woman since he was not there as a patient escort and he promised that will do better for the women in his state.

What Sims does not address is the second video he livestreamed where he offered 100 dollars for people to identify young, female Planned Parenthood protesters.
