LifeBoat\u00a0Coffee<\/a>, which\u00a0offers customers<\/a> life-affirming pro-life labels for their brand and is public about supporting the pro-life cause, was vandalized on July 6, with a rock thrown through the business’s window. Owner John Lillis told Live Action News that the Phoenix coffee establishment has also been targeted with hate mail. “Lifeboat Coffee Loves Life – we help women (and men), the unborn, the elderly and the infirmed,” owner John Lillis told Live Action News.<\/p>\n

The motive for the attack is not clear, but Lillis said video surveillance<\/a> showed one perpetrator who did not seem to belong in the normally rough\u00a0neighborhood. Lillis believes his business was targeted because the shop is public about their pro-life belief with posters on the wall \u2014\u00a0“So the public knows,” he said. LifeBoat has been a pro-life coffee company for 10 years and has operated in Phoenix for six. Lillis claims abortion groups have instructed their supporters to be disruptive and write fake reviews against the business. “We have always promoted [ourselves] online as pro life,” he said.<\/p>\n

For example, company\u00a0wrote<\/a>\u00a0in May, “In our Tenth year of helping save human lives, lifeboatcoffee.com<\/a> is America’s ORIGINAL pro-life coffee. Every purchase of our Veteran and Family Owned ARTISAN fresh roasted coffees (roasted by me, not some giant 3rd party roaster), helps the Pro-Life Cause. Lifeboat Coffee, NOW more than EVER!”<\/p>\n

Lillis has personal reason to an advocate of life, and wrote<\/a> about it on the business social media page: “My biological mother was 16, raped by a 40yr old man, and was impregnated. She lived in California, where abortion was already legal in 1967. I was born, and she left me in the hospital, where I was put into a ‘pool’ of available newborns. Three months later, my ‘new’ parents brought me home around Thanksgiving; how appropriate… So to everyone out there wondering, cases like mine are very rare, but intended to bring hope to anyone in that situation.”<\/p>\n

“ShutDownDC’s public bounty offer came after individuals affiliated with the group\u00a0protested while Kavanaugh ate dinner<\/a>\u00a0at a Morton’s steakhouse in downtown Washington on Wednesday evening. Kavanaugh was ultimately forced to exit the establishment through a rear door,” a Fox News report<\/a> stated.\u00a0“However, Twitter has been silent on why the tweet detailing\u00a0such bounties on justices<\/a>\u00a0don’t violate the platform’s rules and policies. Representatives for the social media platform didn’t respond to requests for comment from Fox News Digital when asked why the tweet wasn’t removed Friday.”<\/p>\n

Church of the Ascension in Overland Park was vandalized on July 10, according to KSHB<\/a>, which wrote: “In red, the words ‘My Body My Choice’ were painted across the walls of Ascension Catholic School, which is connected to the church, along with a statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary.” Archbishop Joseph Naumann with the Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas told the media outlet,\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s an effort and intimidation to try to silence the church but to silence the people as well.” Naumann also told KSHB that this vandalism is not the only one of its kind, noting that Value Them Both signs have also been targeted. \u201cWe\u2019ve seen others, not as extreme, but the stealing of signs and taking down of signs, graffiti on the signs,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

A July 6 post in Heartlander News<\/a>\u00a0noted the continued targeting, writing, “Church of the Ascension in Overland Park alone has reported at least seven instances of vandalism or theft to their signs supporting the ‘Value Them Both<\/a>‘ constitutional amendment.” The report also claimed that, “Other pro-life supporters have reported on Facebook they\u2019ve had multiple signs stolen.”<\/p>\n

A statement<\/a>\u00a0released by the Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas stated,\u00a0\u00a0“An escalating pattern of theft, vandalism and intimidation targeting members of the Catholic Church and other supporters of the Value Them Both amendment reached a new level overnight when the Church of the Ascension in Overland Park fell victim to an overt act of hatred and incivility. Parish buildings, including a statue of the Blessed Mother, were extensively defaced with red spray paint. Authorities were notified and we ask that every action be taken to identify and hold the perpetrators of this despicable act accountable.”<\/p>\n

According to TheLeaven.org<\/a>, pro-abortion vandals had been targeting the church for some time. “Since May 14, members of Ascension\u2019s Knights of Columbus have taken shifts throughout the night to guard the church grounds,” The Leaven wrote, describing what eyewitnesses observed the night of the crime. “Two men were on-site when the vandalism occurred, and one witnessed it from his parking spot… The person came into the Knight\u2019s view under the streetlight before going back into shadow under the school awning… Through binoculars, the man watched as the person spray-painted the church building. He asked his fellow Knight on duty to call 911, then approached the school on foot and shined his flashlight in the vandal\u2019s direction, causing the person to flee.”<\/p>\n
