More than a dozen pro-abortion activists were arrested at a peaceful men’s pro-life demonstration in Boston, Massachusetts, on Saturday for allegedly acting in an “unlawful, riotous, and tumultuous manner,” according to police.

Fourteen people were arrested, “most or all” of whom were pro-abortion counter-protesters at the The National Men’s March to Abolish Abortion and Rally for Personhood, the Boston Globe reported, citing police.

Those arrested were identified as Julia Coughlin, 26; Jennifer Adams, 22; Joseph McDonald, 26; Gary Ervin, 28; Aiden Burke, 24; Charles McDonald, 21; Laurel Clapp Fox, 25; Sofia Rose, 24; Mitchell Lawson, 27; Meiya Sparks Lin, 24; Waylon Linn Adams, 22; Lakes Levine, 18; Bailey Olmstead, 26; and Christopher Jacques, 40.

They are facing charges of disorderly conduct and disturbing a public assembly.

The National Men’s March to Abolish Abortion and Rally for Personhood was a city-permitted demonstration that began outside of Planned Parenthood on Commonwealth Avenue at 11:00 a.m. The group marched for more than three miles to Parkman Bandstand in the Boston Common for a rally, according to Boston.com.

Police reported that several hundred pro-abortion counter-protesters — some of them dressed as clowns — blocked the path of the pro-life demonstrators at Kenmore Square.

“Upon the convergence, each group was screaming/shouting at each other and the opposing (blocking group) at times turning their rage at officers by threatening them, screaming fighting words, and attempting to agitate them,” the police report said.

Police said they repeatedly told counter-protesters to allow the men’s march to continue along their route.

“The crowd refused all orders and continued their tumultuous behavior,” the report said.

Officers even tried to “physically attempt to move” the pro-abortion protesters out of the way, but they resisted, police said.
