Vandals Target Crisis Pregnancy Center in Western Massachusetts

EASTHAMPTON, Mass. (CNS) — Police are investigating vandalism at a western Massachusetts pregnancy center that provides women facing a crisis pregnancy with free diapers, wipes, baby clothes, strollers and car seats.

Police said vandals early Aug. 18 spray-painted “Jane’s Revenge” on benches located outside of Bethlehem House in Easthampton, near Springfield, along with the message, “If abortion isn’t safe, neither are you.”

Jane’s Revenge is a an organization that supports keeping abortion legal. It has claimed responsibility for similar actions at churches and pro-life pregnancy centers across the country since May, when a draft opinion of the U.S. Supreme Court decision in the Dobbs vs. Jackson Women’s Health organization case was leaked.

The court’s June 24 decision in the Dobbs case ultimately overturned Roe v. Wade, which had legalized abortion nationwide. The ruling allows states to decide their own laws regarding abortion.

“I’m nervous because the clients are coming here today. We have to give diapers out in the parking lot,” said Pam Hibbard, Bethlehem House director.

Bethlehem House, which receives support from the annual Catholic Appeal of the Diocese of Springfield, also offers free pregnancy resources, including referrals for employment, health care and educational services. Families receive assistance until the baby is 18 months old. In addition, Bethlehem House offers post-abortion counseling.

As far a I know abortion is legal in Massachusetts (a "Catholic State"?). Why are these vandals attacking the Crisis Center?

WTF is wrong with these people or the country for that matter? This comes right from congress (including Liz Warren) promoting this crap.

Thankfully no one was hurt or killed. Which is remarkable given that Jane’s Revenge believes murder is a Constitutional right.

It’s just anti-Catholic bigotry. Just like Free Republic.
