<\/div>

A wave<\/a> of pro-abortion violence has swept the nation since the leak of a Supreme Court draft opinion<\/a>\u00a0in the Dobbs v. Jackson<\/em> Women\u2019s Health Organization<\/em> suggested a possible\u00a0overturning of Roe v. Wade<\/em>. Two pro-life facilities were attacked with explosive devices, and pro-lifers have been threatened with physical harm.<\/p>\n

Live Action has been contacted by pro-lifers who claimed abortion activists egged and spat on them at various rallies. The pro-lifers have also received harassing and hate filled messages. In addition, a church in New York has received<\/a>\u00a0bomb threats along with vile messages. Additional reports of alleged violence are under investigation by local authorities and include some or all of the following:<\/p>\n

May 22:<\/strong> The unconfirmed vandalism of four churches in Olympia\u00a0Washington, allegedly by the domestic terrorist group Jane’s Revenge,\u00a0was\u00a0reported<\/a>\u00a0on an anarchist website. ”\u00a0Last night we vandalized four anti-abortion churches in Olympia. All of these churches have ties to anti-abortion \u201ccrisis pregnancy centers,\u201d the blog post began. It continued, “A Mormon church, Calvary church, Harbor Church, and St. Michael\u2019s Catholic church all received facelifts in the early hours of Sunday morning. We dumped red paint over the entryways and left messages of ‘If abortions aren\u2019t safe then neither are you,’ ‘Abort the church,’ and ‘God loves abortion.'”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The message lists supporters of the PRCs in what can only be considered a warning to those who would support helping women who choose not to commit abortion. It ends by admitting they are “threatening” anyone who opposes abortion. “We are not appealing to state power for an end to patriarchal violence, but threatening: ‘If abortions aren\u2019t safe, then neither are you,'” they said. It was signed, “For joy, pleasure, and self-determination,\u00a0Jane\u2019s Revenge\u00a0Bo Brown Memorial Cell.” Live Action News has confirmed that the pro-abortion vandalism did occur at the Calvary church.<\/p>\n

May 18:<\/strong> According to a leaked Department of Homeland Security memo obtained by Axios<\/a>, law enforcement agencies are investigating social-media threats to burn down or storm the Supreme Court building and murder justices and their clerks, as well as attacks targeting places of worship. The memo also claimed there was violence targeted at abortion facilities.<\/p>\n

Also on May 18, Live Action News received images of vandalism spray painted on the brick wall outside the Supreme Court parking lot. It read, “Abort the Court Keep Abortion Safe and Legal.” This kind of rhetoric has been used many times (here<\/a>, during recent abortion protests).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In addition, the group “Downright Impolite” is planning protests<\/a> outside Supreme Court Justices Kavanaugh and Roberts’ homes on May 18 and every Wednesday throughout the month of May.<\/p>\n

May 16:<\/strong> A pro-life maternity home in Long Beach, California, which holds regular church services for the women they serve, had their Sunday services interrupted by an angry pro-abortion woman. According to one witness, during His Nesting Place Church Services<\/a> the pro-abortion person “snuck in and went ballistic, cursing using the F word” referring to the babies. She allegedly “broke items and looked like she was going to take out a weapon in her backpack.” The witness claimed on their social media page that “police arrived quickly, they warned us last week of upcoming anti life protests on our ministry and they would be close by, pray for us!!”<\/p>\n

May 15<\/b>:\u00a0According to a Twitter activist<\/a>, Birthright in Frederick, MD, was vandalized. The facility was tagged, “Defend Roe” and also, “F*** Fake Clinic.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

May 14:\u00a0 <\/b>According to Independent journalist Andy <\/span>Ngo, Journalist <\/span>Katie Daviscourt<\/span><\/a> \u2014 a Seattle correspondent for The Post Millennial, was “accosted by an<\/span> #Antifa<\/span><\/a> militant while filming their public US flag burning in Seattle at the pro-abortion protest…” A separate<\/span> incident<\/span><\/a> of alleged assault during a Seattle abortion protest was brought to attention of police who merely issued a warning.<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, outside the Supreme Court, pro-life activists saw aggressive moves by pro-abortion supporters, one <\/span>alleging<\/span> umbrellas and signs were shoved in their faces.<\/span><\/p>\n

May 13:<\/b> An abortion supporter writes<\/a> on Twitter, “Alpha Pregnancy Center was vandalized with a threat & other graffiti by \u201cJane\u2019s Revenge,\u201d the far-left group that claimed the Madison, WI, arson attack & promised violence.” The vandalism<\/a> was also tweeted<\/a> out by Andy Ng\u00f4,\u00a0who highlighted<\/a> the threat, “If abortions aren\u2019t safe, neither are you.”

May 5<\/b>: Pro-life activist Bryan Kemper\u00a0posted<\/a>\u00a0on Facebook: “Have been assaulted twice tonight at Supreme Court standing for life at pro-abortion rally.” He claimed police were not interested in the incidents which included (according to him) being hit in the face with an umbrella as well as being hit in the side of the head by two separate pro-abortion advocates.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

May:<\/b>\u00a0An abortion supporter on Twitter has highlighted multiple incidents of vandalism tagged with “Jane’s Revenge.” He issued no location; however, they appear to be from Maryland.<\/p>\n

Catholic World reported<\/a> that the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels in Los Angeles\u00a0was disrupted just before Communion<\/a>\u00a0by female protesters dressed in red gowns and large white hats while pro-abortion activists laid on the steps of St. James Cathedral in Seattle<\/a> with fake blood.\u00a0<\/span>The same day,\u00a0\u201cPro-choice is pro-life\u201d was spray-painted<\/a> on the front and side doors of Holy Rosary Catholic Church in Houston, and\u00a0St. Louis Catholic Church in Louisville<\/a>\u00a0was vandalized with pro-abortion messages.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For the last few weeks, he has harassed our staff, he’s thrown things at our building, and he’s thrown things on cars inside our secure parking area. But it escalated this weekend.”<\/p>\n
