Man Takes Hefty Kick to Pro-Life Sign; What Happens Next Shows God's Sense of Humor
It seems like a one-in-a-million chance, or perhaps God was just looking down and telling this abortion supporter that his hate shall not pass. Either way, this video is hilarious.
The video of a man who appeared to be an opponent of the pro-life movement and who tried to kick down a church school’s pro-life political sign went viral for showing one of the funniest chance incidents imaginable.
In the video, first posted by Earl Boyea, Bishop of Lansing, Michigan, a man is seen stalking down the sidewalk in front of the Church of the Resurrection School in Lansing when he makes a detour aimed right at the school’s pro-life, anti-Prop 3 yard sign.
The man walks up to the sign and kicks it, likely expecting to knock it down.
After he kicks it, he keeps walking on, self-assured that he took the sign out. But what happens after the sign flies up into the air is both hilarious and amazing: The sign does a flip in the air over the man’s head, then plants itself upright on the lawn behind the man’s back as he stomps away.
Of the video, Bishop Boyea wrote, “This is superb. A man takes a hefty kick in the early hours of Monday at the Church of the Resurrection School’s anti-Proposal 3 “Fight Like Heaven” yard sign which sits in front of the Lansing school’s statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Watch what happens next! Ave Maria!”

While the video is inspiring, amazing and hilarious, the sign the hapless man tried to knock down was speaking to a deadly serious proposal that is on the ballot in Michigan.
The sign, carrying the slogan “Fight Like Heaven,” advocated against Michigan’s pro-abortion Proposal 3, which was on the Nov. 8 ballot. The measure ended up passing, with 57 percent, or 2,480,000 people, voting yes and only 43 percent, or 1,897,417 people, voting no.
As Western Journal explained in its Oct. 5 podcast, Prop 3 aimed to undo what the U.S. Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade did for the country.
Supporters of Prop 3 claimed that all the new amendment to the state’s constitution would do is “ensure the rights Michiganders had under Roe are preserved in the state constitution,” according to the Detroit Free Press.
But according to writer Margot Cleveland, Prop 3 does not just return Michigan to the rule of Roe. It greatly expands abortion and even assures that teens can have abortions without parental approval — or even their knowledge.
Cleveland added, “Because Proposal 3’s standard expressly provides the only legitimate interest is the health of the ‘individual,’ Michigan laws could no longer promote the choice of life, or seek to safeguard the developing fetus, or mandate parental consent, at least before fetal viability.”
Even the liberal Detroit Free Press noted that Prop 3 would codify into law “an unambiguous right for minors to seek abortions.”
The Catholic Church of Michigan also opposed Prop 3 for the same reasons Cleveland noted, namely that the amendment greatly expands abortion.
In its statement against the proposition, the church warned that the stakes could not be higher in this fight against the wide expansion of abortion.
“Proposal 3 goes far beyond just keeping abortion legal or reinstating the now overturned Roe v. Wade decision,” the Michigan Catholic Conference wrote on its webpage.
“It would allow abortions to be performed by anyone, at any point in pregnancy, and for any reason. It would throw away state laws regulating quality, safety, and inspections for abortion clinics. It would remove parental consent requirement for teens seeking abortions, and also teens seeking gender reassignment surgeries,” the church added.
“This amendment would take Michigan far beyond what was allowed for abortion under Roe. In the half-century since Roe, dozens of laws have been passed to regulate abortion. Under this amendment, those protections would be gone, and abortion would be unrestricted and unregulated,” the conference said of Prop 3.
Prop 3 will give Michigan some of the least restrictions on abortion of any state and will eliminate parental consent, cancel laws saying only physicians can perform abortions, and will allow an abortion to be performed at any time during the pregnancy, putting Michigan in the minority of states in all these categories.
