If the Democrat Party’s cult of insurrectionists discover you are against late-term abortions and find out where you live, they may vandalize your home. And don’t expect the police to prosecute the terrorists.

Officials say vandals damaged three churches in Bethesda, Maryland, this weekend with fires being set at two of them. Investigators believe it is arson. Around 2:15 a.m. on Sunday, Montgomery County firefighters responding to a call found several church pews on fire at Saint Jane Frances de Chantal Catholic Church, located on Old Georgetown Road in Bethesda near the Capital Beltway. Within hours, Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Service had launched an arson investigation into the fire.

The Biden Justice Department has yet to take action against abortion extremists menacing pro-life clinics and members of the Supreme Court. Republican lawmakers are resolved to hold leadership accountable after the midterm elections—even if that means impeaching Attorney General Merrick Garland. Rep. Jim Jordan (R., Ohio), who is in line to take over the House Judiciary Committee if Republicans prevail in November, didn’t take a Garland impeachment inquiry off the table in an interview with the Washington Free Beacon. Jordan cited a range of alleged misconduct, from failure to enforce black-letter law to protect clinics and justices, to secret collusion...

MADISON, Wis. — Police hope to find out who vandalized a Catholic church in Madison over the weekend with messages critical of anti-abortion beliefs. However, it is hardly the only church targeted in Wisconsin following the U.S. Supreme Court's recent ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade. Five Catholic churches across the state have had to deal with damage recently, which Julaine Appling can empathize with. “I think what we have is some copycat things,” Appling said. “If it's not the same people, it's certainly copycat.” Appling serves as president of Wisconsin Family Action, an organization that strives to advance Judeo-Christian...

The pro-abortion group RiseUp4AbortionRights, which has been disrupting churches and large gatherings for weeks, is now being denounced by 13 other pro-abortion organizations who allege RiseUp is a “cult and pyramid scheme.” Live Action News previously documented that while the name RiseUp4AbortionRights was launched in January 2022, it is actually a rebranded version of the revolutionary pro-abortion group, Stop Patriarchy, which is led by activists Sunsara Taylor, Lori Sokol, and millionaire abortionist Merle Hoffman. The group has been behind multiple disruptions at churches and public gatherings across the nation. In 2014, a separate group, Texans for Reproductive Justice, published a...

The fire broke out around 2 a.m. and involved several pews in the main church area, Piringer tweeted. The church is located at 9601 Old Georgetown Road. Sunday's masses are being held in the Christopher Hall Gymnasium, according to the parish website.

A left-wing activist group is encouraging users on social media to tweet the location of any of the conservative Supreme Court Justices in exchange for money. The justices were the majority who voted to overturn the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade decision last month. Since then, pro-abortion activists have repeatedly protested outside the justices' homes and, in some cases, confronted them in public. ShutDownDC is promising a bounty of $50 for anyone who shares a 'confirmed sighting' and a further $200 if they are still in that location half an hour later. 'DC Service Industry Workers...

Pro-abortion protesters were quickly escorted out of a Mass last month at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Chicago, according to the church’s bulletin. A video of the June 26 protest shows protesters standing up from the pews during Mass and entering the aisle to begin a demonstration. One of the protesters can then be heard reading aloud the statement of Cardinal Blase Cupich of Chicago regarding the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which returned the regulation of abortion to the states. “This is the statement of the Archbishop of Chicago,” the protester shouted at the...

Confessed Highland Park shooter Robert Crimo III admitted to cops three years ago that he was a depressed teenage drug user when quizzed about threatening to “kill everyone” in his family, newly released documents show. A Highland Park police report details why the then-18-year-old alleged shooter was flagged as a “clear and present danger” in 2019 — just a few months before his dad helped him start amassing the arsenal he allegedly used to kill seven and injure dozens at his local Fourth of July parade.

All 25 Republican members of the Ohio Senate were mailed envelopes full of feces on Thursday morning launching a federal investigation. The packages arrived after being sent almost a week earlier from a Cleveland post office. The packages were intercepted by Statehouse, Cleveland and Akron post offices before reaching the senators, according to a statement from Ohio House spokesman John Fortney. He wasn't able to say whether similar envelopes had been sent to Ohio House Republicans as well. **SNIP** On a personal level as a Statehouse employee, Fortney said he felt the act was cowardly and not only impacted state...

Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh was forced to sneak out of a Washington D.C. steakhouse this week when he was confronted by pro-abortion protesters. Kavanaugh was having dinner at Morton's when activists showed up and told the manager to kick him out, two weeks after he was in the majority that overturned Roe v. Wade. The justice was then forced to leave through the back door, Politico's Playbook reported, as fury continues to spread across the country over the court's recent decisions on gun rights and abortion. The latest targeting of Kavanaugh also comes less than a month after a...

PORTLAND, Oregon — Police officers successfully drove dozens of anarchist rioters away from Holy Redeemer Church in Portland late July 1. The Portland Activists online calendar had announced night rally at nearby Peninsula Park with the intent to “Abolish SCOTUS.” Since the U.S. Supreme Court’s June 24 decision overturning Roe v. Wade and letting the states decide abortion laws, Catholic buildings across the nation have been a target of vandals who have cited the church’s support for the unborn. Holy Redeemer had been vandalized with graffiti in the spring and was being mentioned by name in anarchist chatter in late...

The suspect in the Highland Park, Illinois, Fourth of July mass shooting was flagged by police as a "clear and present danger" in 2019, authorities said Tuesday. Robert "Bobby" E. Crimo III, 21, the suspect in the mass shooting that killed seven people and wounded dozens of others at a Fourth of July parade, was still able to clear state-required background checks to purchase firearms on at least four separate occasions between 2020 and 2021, the Illinois State Police said. "In September 2019, ISP received a Clear and Present Danger report on the subject from the Highland Park Police Department....

Authorities revealed Tuesday afternoon that the suspect who allegedly shot dozens of people at a parade on Monday had a history of run-ins with law enforcement officials. “I’m going to relay some information from two prior instances that occurred here in Highland Park,” Christopher Covelli, Lake County Sheriff’s Office Public Information Officer, said at a press conference. “The first was in April of 2019. An individual contacted Highland Park Police Department a week after learning of [the suspect] attempting suicide. This was a delayed report, so Highland Park still responded to the residence a week later, spoke with [the suspect],...

Left-wingers are too distraught over the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade to celebrate Independence Day this year. According to an interview conducted by Yahoo News with an anonymous woman, she has decided to skip the celebration of America by "staying home and catching up on chores" because she can no longer get an abortion. "I want the day to feel as normal as possible when everything around us is absolutely abnormal," she told Yahoo. The Pennsylvania native said that she refuses to partake in July 4 activities "as a direct result of my rights and bodily autonomy...

The FBI is launching an investigation with Nashville police after a pregnancy center was targeted with a Molotov cocktail-type device and "Jane’s Revenge" graffiti in an incident the state’s governor is calling an act of "terrorism." The Hope Clinic for Women, which the Metro Nashville Police Department describes as a "pro-life resource center," was hit early Thursday in the "first act of vandalism in Nashville seen as related to the recent U.S. Supreme Court abortion decision," investigators say. "Midtown Hills Precinct officers responded to a burglar alarm at the facility at 1:38 a.m. Upon arrival, they discovered that a front...

The Mother and Unborn Baby Care center in Southfield, MI has been hit by "Jane's Revenge". They broke 14 (!) windows and wrote "if abortions aren't safe, neither are you" in pink spraypaint. (Note: Southfield is a heavily black area and economically below median income, although it's also an area with a lot of business centers). We have a family member (wife's brother's wife) that is very heavily involved in the Center, and we've supported it as well. MAUBC-SE MI provides a broad range of services to pregnant women looking for help. Everything from counseling to ultrasounds to baby diapers....

Jane’s Revenge, a pro-abortion domestic terror group, claims it has attacked pregnancy centers in California and Vermont over the weekend. Their threatening rhetoric of hate is ramping up and is now threatening to target pro-lifers at their homes while referring to vandalism as “absolutely titillating.” One message suggested supporters should “[l]earn the skill of accelerant bartending” and added, “Next time we’ll bring it Wisconsin-style” — a reference to the arson committed at the Wisconsin Family Action offices. Jane’s Revenge says it plans to make pro-lifers’ lives “a living hell” The Abolition Media Blog, which has been the catalyst for publishing...

As dozens of churches, pregnancy centers, and various other pro-life organizations fall victim to domestic terrorist attacks, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is facing widespread criticism over its failure to address this rising trend. As reported by Just The News, Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) sent a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray demanding that these “violent attacks are recognized by the FBI and are being properly investigated for what they are – cases of abortion-related violent extremism.” “There have been at least 40 violent attacks on crisis pregnancy centers, religious institutions, and other pro-life entities since the Dobbs leak...
