Members of "Missionaries to the Preborn" and family pull Amanda Crim (center), 25, of Davison, Mich., from Rev. Matt Trewhella, during a fight between Crim and Trewhella over an anti-abortion protest at the corner of Saginaw St. and Court St. in Flint, Mich. Crim drove the front two wheels of her car onto the sidewalk, got out, and confronted the protesters. During the confrontation Crim slapped Trewhella twice before he punched her in the face. "Did you honestly think you could do this and no one would get upset", Crim said after the fight. "This is sick. You guys are sick." The anti-abortion group, "Missionaries to the Preborn", lined the street with 5-foot pictures of butchered fetuses as part of their "American Atrocities" tour passing out literature about their cause.
