A sad, violent response.

A Kansas woman allegedly attacked a teenage anti-abortion canvasser when the student knocked on her door Sunday.
The student, Grace Hartsock, was going door-to-door to turn out Kansas voters for a Tuesday referendum on abortion law. The incident occurred when she approached a home in Overland Park, according to Students for Life — the organization with which Hartsock was volunteering.
Harstock says a woman answered the door who, once she learned what the teen was there to discuss, politely stated she was not interested.
"No, I’m sorry I don’t think you want to talk to us," the woman told Hartsock, according to Students for Life.
Hartsock turned to leave when another voice, also a woman, came from further inside the house yelling and cursing.
"Don’t apologize to her, mom," the woman said, according to SFL.
The woman, whose identity is unknown, then reportedly followed Hartsock out of the house while berating her. SFL says the woman shoved Hartsock in the chest and began striking her head with closed fists.
Hartsock weathered the blows until the woman's mother got the daughter to stop. The woman continued yelling, however, telling Hartsock "I hope you get raped," and "I hope you get run over by a car," SFL says.
