A pro-life pregnancy center in upstate New York sustained major damage in a fire and was defaced with pro-abortion graffiti Tuesday morning.
The center, CompassCare, located in Amherst, New York, a suburb of Buffalo, posted photos on its Facebook page showing the building’s windows shattered, an office burned and heavily damaged, and the words “Jane was here” spray-painted on the side of the building.
Variations of that message have been featured in some of the recent attacks on pro-life pregnancy centers and churches since a draft opinion leaked to the media last month indicated that the U.S. Supreme Court was poised to overturn Roe v. Wade, the 1973 Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion nationwide.
Jim Harden, the CEO of CompassCare, told CNA that it will cost hundreds of thousands of dollars and take several months to repair the building. The center is accepting donations here.
Police are investigating the incident as a possible arson. Two firefighters who responded to the scene were treated for minor injuries, Amherst police said.
Calling the damage to the clinic a "heinous crime," Harden said that the morale of his team is high.
"The people of God are not going to let CompassCare remain homeless,” he said. “This is their ministry."
