<p>An 84-year-old <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/pro-life">pro-life</a> female activist canvassing for a ballot proposal surrounding abortion laws in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/michigan">Michigan</a> was shot in the back by an unidentified man last week while passing out pamphlets.</p>
<p>Right to Life Michigan, a pro-life non-profit, said in a <a href="https://rtl.org/prolife-volunteer-shot/">statement</a> on Saturday that while the elderly woman volunteered her time going door-to-door around her community in Lake Odessa, one interaction left her wounded after leaving a residence during a &#8220;heated conversation.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;The victim does not know the identity or motive of her shooter.&#8221; the statement reads. &#8220;The victim is still recovering from her gunshot wound and wishes to remain anonymous while the criminal investigation proceeds.&#8221;</p>
<p>Michigan State Police have begun investigating the case and will forward the results to the Ionia County Prosecuting Attorney&#8217;s Office.</p>
<p>Authorities told <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/elderly-pro-life-volunteer-michigan-shot-heated-conversation-pro-life-group-says">Fox News Digital</a> Saturday that the elderly woman was shot after a &#8220;verbal altercation while she was passing out pamphlets&#8221; and would later drive herself to the Lake Odessa Police Department.</p>
<p>She was transported to an area hospital for treatment and later released.</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re glad the victim is recovering, and our volunteers will continue knocking doors on Proposal 3,&#8221; Chris Gast, a Right to Life of Michigan official, told Fox News Digital on Saturday.</p>
<p>Proposal 3, otherwise known as the so-called &#8220;<a href="https://ballotpedia.org/Michigan_Proposal_3,_Right_to_Reproductive_Freedom_Initiative_(2022)">Right to Reproductive Freedom Initiative,</a>&#8221; will allow the state to regulate abortion after fetal viability but not prohibit abortions if necessary to protect the mother&#8217;s life or physical or mental health.</p>
<p>Michigan voters will have the chance to vote on the measure in the upcoming midterm election later this year.</p>
<p>The attack on the woman follows the U.S Supreme Court&#8217;s historic decision last summer to overturn <em>Roe v. Wade</em>, the case that legalized abortion across the United States.</p>
<p>Abortion enthusiasts and their political supporters have signaled disturbing rhetoric towards those who stand for the sanctity of life, which has unleashed a string of attacks on pregnancy centers and other pro-life locations.</p>
<p>Within days of the nation&#8217;s highest court reversing the controversial ruling, pro-choice groups in Michigan allegedly vandalized and damaged other pro-life organizations.</p>
<p>Last <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/michigan-congressman-and-pro-life-organization-accuse-abortion-activist-group-of-vandalizing-offices">summer</a>, a pro-abortion group allegedly smashed the front door and shattered multiple windows of an office building shared by Jackson Right to Life and a Michigan Republican Tim Walberg&#8217;s campaign office.</p>
<p>Tagged in pink ink on the side of the building that read a grim warning to pro-life activists threatening their safety if abortion isn&#8217;t protected.</p>
