'Clear Bias': Despite Massive NYC Protests, Police Hand-Pick 2 Pro-Lifers to Arrest Near Planned Parenthood Read Transcript


- Two women are speakingout after what they say

was an obvious show of bias byauthorities in New York City.

Pro-life advocates, BevelynBeatty and Edmee Chavannes,

co-founders of At the Well Ministries,

were peacefully protestingabortion in front of the

Margaret Sanger PlannedParenthood facility

in Manhattan when they werehandcuffed and taken away

in a police cruiser for breaking COVID-19

social distancing guidelines.

This as massive crowdsgathered down the street

over the killing of George Floyd.

Bevelyn and Edmee join us now

to share more of what happened.

Thank you for joining us!

- Thank you for having us, Hi!- Thank you for having us.

- So tell us a little more about that day

and why you think you two were targeted.

Bevelyn, let's begin with you.

- Well, as people may know,

New York City is ran by Governor Cuomo,

yeah, Governor Cuomo, he'sthe Governor, of course,

and then Mayor de Blasio runs the city.

And they're Democratran, they're very biased,

and they really couldcare less about life.

The same time we got arrested,men were out looting,

destroying New York City.

Fifth Avenue is gone, okay,there's no more Fifth Avenue.

There's no more Tiffany,Louis Vuitton, none of that.

It's gone, okay?

But they took the time to arrest us

for peacefully protestingbecause they're biased.

This is just the proofin the pudding right now

that they are a biased leadership.

- What is your take,Edmee, on what happened?

- Well, this is not new interms of having to confront

the police when it comesto the pro-life ministry

that we've been doing nowfor a year and a half.

We know most of thepolice force in New York.

They're usually great, youknow, they understand the rules.

The one thing is that thistime they used the COVID-19

virus excuse when itcomes to the regulations,

to get us arrested.

So their excuse is that wedid not social distance.

But my question is, howcome the abortionist is not

social distancing fromthe mothers and the babies

that are being murdered?

It boggles my mind howwe've had to nickel and dime

with the police, whenbabies are being murdered.

I'll ask anyone watching now,

if you had your child in that clinic

being dismembered, being suctioned,

wouldn't you break thewalls to get that child?

And so, that's where we wereand we were telling people

what was goin' on andtrying to get attention

and plead with the mothers.

And we got arrested for doing that.

- Now you have a September court date now,

what are you being charged with exactly,

and do you plan to fight it?

- Yes, we have a team already.

Thomas Moore is defendingus, representing us.

Yes, that's September 25th in Manhattan,

and right now we're chargedwith failure to disperse.

But, the crazy thing is,they do not have record

of arresting us.

They didn't take a recordof actually arresting us,

booking us, anything.

Though it's caught on camera,they did not document that.

All they did was give usa summons at the station,

after sitting there fortwo hours in holding cells.

So, a lot of discrepancieshappened that day,

and I think the policedidn't think we would

get this much exposure, sothey kinda played themselves.

So we don't know how things are gonna end,

but we are more than positiveit's gonna be a victory

and we're gonna sue themto the fullest extent.

And we're gonna do thisfor every other pro-lifer

and abolitionist that stands out there

on that public sidewalkand they're gonna be able

to use their voice and push and fight

for these innocentchildren, God's children.
