Pro-abortion activist allegedly assaults pro-lifers at Virginia March for Life
Video footage has surfaced of a pro-abortion activist assaulting pro-life students at the Virginia March for Life on February 21.
According to The Daily Signal, Virginia pro-lifers gathered in Richmond to march in support of the right to life for preborn people and to take a stand against pro-abortion efforts in the state. Video footage posted online shows an abortion advocate, later identified as Noah Cleveland, waving a transgender flag and running into a group of pro-life students.
Cleveland is 42 years old, according to New York Post, and students can be seen being pushed around, dropping their belongings to the ground. She was wearing a purple tank top, black leggings, and a bright pink headband, Capitol Police confirmed to the New York Post. Pro-life students held signs that read, “I love life” and “Silence in the face of evil is evil itself.” The abortion advocate also pushed a large pro-life banner.

Kelsey McCormick, a student at Liberty University and a member of Students for Life, can be seen in the video. He told The Daily Signal, “We are nearing the end of the march and chanting, ‘We are the pro life generation’ and ‘We will abolish abortion’ with our megaphones.’ Then I see the trans activist running and jumping, and waving the flag, facing the group and chasing the big banner. The activist is also making a screaming, barking noise.”
Richmond police did not immediately respond to The Daily Signal’s request for comment, but a second video showed authorities evicting the pro-abortion activist.
Kristan Hawkins, president of Students for Life, tweeted one of the videos, asking questions“Is he responsible?”
The New York Post reported the following day that Cleveland had been charged with one count of disorderly conduct.
