The violence of the pro-aborts

 Sarah Westwood:

Violence and threats against the anti-abortion movement have increased in recent weeks as the Supreme Court prepares to issue opinions in a landmark abortion case.

An alleged assassin targeting conservative Justice Brett Kavanaugh generated headlines this week after police say they arrested an armed man near Kavanaugh’s family home.

But attacks against crisis pregnancy centers, some of them faith-based, have risen steadily since the leak of a draft opinion in the case Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which suggested the court is considering overturning the legal precedent that prevents states from banning abortion.

A Washington Examiner review identified recent incidents of arson, vandalism, or both at at least 13 anti-abortion centers across the country.

Police are investigating an alleged arson at a crisis pregnancy center in Buffalo, New York, on Tuesday after a fire destroyed much of a Christian pregnancy center and injured two of the firemen who responded to it.

Investigations are underway at several other pregnancy centers hit by Molotov cocktails in the month since the Dobbs opinion leaked, including in Keizer, Oregon , and in Madison, Wisconsin .

But police have made few arrests, if any.

An extreme pro-abortion group known as Jane’s Revenge has seemingly claimed credit for a number of the incidents.

In Washington, D.C., a crisis pregnancy center near the U.S. Capitol was hit with vandalism that included red paint splashed on its door, resembling blood, and a spray-painted message: “Jane Says Revenge.”

In Lynnwood, Washington, threatening spray-painted messages at the Next Step Pregnancy Center included: “Abortion isn’t safe, neither are you” and “Jane’s revenge.” The suspects in the attack also threw rocks at the building, shattering several windows.

An Asheville, North Carolina, pregnancy center was defaced with a similar message: “If abortions aren’t safe, neither are you.”

The same message was spray-painted onto a pregnancy center in Reisterstown, Maryland, as well.

The Biden administration prepared a memo last month that said the Department of Homeland Security is bracing for unrest related to the looming decision in Dobbs but did not specify one side as being more likely to engage in violence.

Led by Sen. Jerry Moran (R-KS), 16 Republican senators wrote in a letter this week to Attorney General Merrick Garland “to request information about how the Department of Justice is addressing the disturbing trend of harassment, intimidation, and violence against religious and other pro-life organizations and individuals in the aftermath of the leaked draft opinion.”

A spokesperson for Moran told the Washington Examiner the Justice Department had not yet responded to the letter as of Friday.

This appears to be violence that the left in this country supports.  They seem to have an emotional tie to the abortion business and its providers.  I am old enough to remember when the more traditional response to an unwanted pregnancy was putting the baby up for adoption.  I remember having many of those adopted children as friends growing up.  They mostly went on to productive lives.
