Abortion Activists Vandalize Six More Churches and Four Pregnancy Centers as Campaign of Terror Continues
Life News ^ | July 7, 2022 | Micaiah Bilger

At least ten more churches and pro-life organizations were vandalized since last weekend as violence targeting people who work to protect unborn babies continues across America.

They include Birthright pregnancy center in St. Paul, Minnesota; Care Net of Puget Sound Pregnancy Clinic in Kenmore, Washington state; and Problem Pregnancy and Clearway Clinic, both in Worcester, Massachusetts.

The churches were Holy Ghost Catholic Church, Notre Dame Catholic Church and St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church, all in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin; St. Peter the Apostle Catholic Church in Bloomer, Wisconsin; and the Bible Missionary Church and the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses, both in Sumner, Washington state.

In St. Paul, someone spray-painted the words “Abort America,” “Jesus loves abortion” and “Jane’s Revenge” on the property and broke two windows Monday at Birthright, a pregnancy resource center that provides free services to help mothers choose life for their babies, The Catholic Spirit reports. Jane’s Revenge is a pro-abortion terrorist group that has taken credit for setting fire to and vandalizing pro-life organizations and churches in recent weeks.

“We’re praying for the people that did this,” Birthright employee Karen McCann told the news outlet. “It makes me sad that people would feel so angry toward a center that is doing good.”

McCann said they have been vandalized seven times in the past five years.

Windows also were smashed, pro-abortion graffiti was spray-painted and an American flag was burned at Care Net of Puget Sound Pregnancy Clinic early Monday morning in Washington state, according to 770 KTTH.

Meanwhile, in Massachusetts early Thursday, someone smashed two glass doors and three windows and spray-painted the words “Jane’s Revenge” on the entrance of the Clearway Clinic, the pro-life organization said on its website. Someone also spray-painted graffiti on Problem Pregnancy, another pregnancy center in town.

“Violence against our center harms the women, babies, and families that rely on us for help in times of need,” Clearway executive director Kelly Wilcox said. “We are a state-licensed medical clinic with a team of board-certified doctors and nurses that provides free healthcare to women in Central and Western Massachusetts.”

The Catholic News Agency reported about the vandalism of the four churches in Wisconsin over the July 4th weekend; each had pro-abortion graffiti spray-painted on them, including the words “women” and “fetuses” and a biblical reference sometimes used by abortion activists to claim Christianity supports the killing of unborn babies in abortions.

MyNorthwest reported about the graffiti at the two Sumner, Washington, churches, including the initials “RVW,” a reference to Roe v. Wade, and anarchist symbols spray-painted on the buildings.

The crime wave has many pro-life organizations increasing security and Republican lawmakers demanding action from the Biden administration to crack down on the growing domestic terrorism.

LifeNews has recorded dozens of confirmed reports of arson and/or vandalism since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe on June 24 and dozens more since a draft ruling was leaked in May.

Aren’t crimes against churches default hate crimes?

Why isn’t the FBI and all the federal forces concentrating on these? (hypothetical question.)

It is almost like it is a violent insurrection. Maybe the Dems will start a commission to investigate all the violence and have it on prime time on all the networks. I am sure the DOJ and FBI are all over getting to the bottom of this already. /s

It will stop when dead arsonists are found in the morning outside their intended targets.

Wouldn’t be a bit surprised if the FBI and DoJ are actually directing these attacks, and not just looking the other way.

These pro death choice activists target Catholic churches.

As Jesus said

Matthew 5:11 Blessed are ye when they shall revile you, and persecute you, and speak all that is evil against you, untruly, for my sake: [12] Be glad and rejoice, for your reward is very great in heaven. For so they persecuted the prophets that were before you.

Jesus told us we would be persecuted for following Him.

This. There should be plenty of volunteers to stand overwatch shifts protecting their churches and local pregnancy centers. Drop them where they stand. This bs will cease, Pronto.

Call it a “neighborhood watch”....or perhaps “a well-regulated militia.”

Agree, all that has to happen are a “few” of these protestors getting dropped while in the act. Word will spread quickly that their decisions carry consequences.

Yes I am beyond fed up with expecting Law Enforcement to do their damn job. All they seem capable of is showing up after the fact to draw the chalk outline around the body. Nothing more than a bunch of bad ass POSERS in all their black tactical gear. What’s the phrase, All Hat, No Cattle?

“We’re praying for the people that did this,”

Oh, man! That’s going to really anger the Left. They hate for you to pray for them
