On the last Saturday, a young father wanted a group of anti-abortion fanatics yelling in front of the hospital at Obilní trh to quiet down, because they had been distubing his first-born son from sleeping. When one of the bigots asked 29yo Jiří Nepala how many abortions his wife have had, as he’s having his first kid so “late”, the passionate discussion changed into a decent clash, immediately terminated by police.

The conflict has an interesting consequence: journalist Jan Šmikmátor launched a Facebook group supporting Nepala. As of March 19, 6:15 PM, the group is having 86 members and the number is doubling every 3 hours. One of the reasons is an extreme unpopularity of the bigots protesting in front of the hospital at Obilní trh – they are disturbing tired mothers and new-born kids more than really fighting against abortions.

The “pro life” protests started six years ago and are held almost daily, at least if there is a nice
weather.
