Back in June, abortionist Theodore Roummel hit pro-life activist Mark Zimmerman twice with his car. This happened right outside the Women’s Center located in Saginaw, Michigan.

Zimmerman said to Live Action News that he was just standing in the driveway when the abortionist ran over his leg. He subsequently reversed to get off Zimmerman’s leg, effectively running over him twice.  

Roummel then parked his car and was confronted by law enforcement. He began screaming at police officers about how pro-life activists would supposedly run in front of his vehicle. 

However, Zimmerman countered by pointing to the four witnesses who saw this event take place. They provided a statement to law enforcement present at the scene. 

Nevertheless, Roummel was not arrested. He proceeded with his daily task of carrying out abortions. He even capped off his day with five abortions. 

After being hit by Roummel’s vehicle, Zimmerman came out with a fractured tibia. Zimmerman was not initially made aware of the arrest warrant issued for Roummel.

However, he did discover this development in a Freedom of Information Act request from Pro-Life Michigan. Lynn Mills, the director of Pro-Life Michigan, asserted that Roummel hit several other pro-life activists with his car on previous occasions.

Mills asserted that Roummel has been able to escape punishment for his crimes, owing to an overall lack of evidence provided to demonstrate his criminal acts.

Roumell ran over Mills in 2012. He was subsequently arrested and received assault charges. However, he was only subjected to six months of probation. 

Security camera footage showed Zimmerman being hit. That said, Roummel insists the pro-life activist jumped in front of his car. Roummel described Zimmerman’s behavior as an act of “terrorism.” 

Thus far, pro-life activists set up a GiveSendGo fundraiser where they raised over $10,000 for Zimmerman.

After the overturning of Roe v. Wade in 2022, abortion politics reached new levels of polarization.

With states now having the power to craft their own abortion policies, there will be further tension on both sides as states begin taking bolder legislative steps to appease their respective constituencies.
