Pennsylvania State Representative Brian Sims harassed an elderly woman and multiple pro-life teenagers for praying for women seeking abortion outside of Planned Parenthood. He even attempted to dox the three teenagers, offering $100 in order to obtain their identities and addresses.
After conservatives pounced on Sims for his disgusting tactics, he took to Periscope, yet again, but this time to semi-kind-of "apologize."
Except he didn't really offer an apology at all. All he did was make an excuse for his behavior and say he didn't mean to embarrass Planned Parenthood:
I will fiercely protect a woman’s right to make the best choices for her health & her body, unimpeded. I also know that two wrongs don’t make a right, especially on the front lines of a civil rights battle. I can do better, and I will do better, for the women of Pennsylvania. pic.twitter.com/jURL1UX9qE

And, once again, Conservative Twitter called him out for not even having the ability to say, "I'm sorry."
This isn’t even a non-apology to the women he harassed. It’s a non-apology to Planned Parenthood for making them look bad.

Translation: I'm not sorry for what I did. I'm just sorry I got caught doing what I did. https://t.co/oPeGSKYrr2

I got dragged on twitter and realized it wasn’t a good look for me if I decided to run for higher office- so here’s a half-ass apology https://t.co/cgRzLMxLiO

I think this is an apology, but I didn't hear the word "sorry" for harassing and doxxing girls and women

You put a bounty on 3 teenagers for praying. Have you rescinded your offer yet?

If you're looking for more children to yell at, there are some little girls selling Girl Scout Cookies at the Vons down the street from my place.

we don't 'pray at' anyone.
and whom we pray for and whom we pray to is OUR business.
do your job and legislate instead of harassing young men and women of faith.
Or resign. #BrianSimsResign
I will join my fellow Philadelphians at the 11am Friday morning protest to demand you resignation from Pa State House seat asap. You are a proven hate monger and too unstable to hold any elected office. Perhaps you could volunteer full time and dispose of the dead babies instead

People are (rightfully) upset with Sims. But the girls' father decided to see the light in this darkness. He established a GoFundMe account to raise money for the pro-life organization Pro-Life Union of Greater Philadelphia.
Not only that but people are demanding for Sims to resign, although it's highly unlikely.
