The Wasilla Bible Church and Alaska Heart Reach Pregnancy Care Center \u2014\u00a0both located in Wasilla, Alaska \u2014\u00a0were the targets of pro-abortion vandalism earlier this month when both were spray-painted, with glue put into their keyholes. Joyce Moropoulous, executive director of\u00a0Heart Reach, told<\/a> the Mat-Su Valley Frontiersman that the pregnancy center was having its annual fundraiser at the church on the night of the attack.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe person that did this we think hit the church that same night,” she said.\u00a0Moropoulous noted the vandals spray-painted \u201cNot a clinic\u201d in black on all of the exterior walls of the building as well as the garage.<\/p>\n

\u201cBased on the security images, it looks to be the same person. The vandal struck the evening of the fundraiser, which happens to be our biggest event,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

She also noted that this isn’t the first time she has experienced vandalism; her own personal vehicle has been vandalized in the past.\u00a0\u201cI believe it was meant to frustrate and take away attention from what we provide, which is pregnancy care and health services,” she said.<\/p>\n

Sadly, vandalism on both pregnancy resource centers (PRCs) and churches (especially those that take a stand for life) has become more frequent since May, when the Supreme Court’s draft opinion overturning Roe v. Wade was leaked.<\/p>\n

The phrase “Not a clinic” stems from the claim that PRCs aren’t real health clinics because they don’t commit abortions. In reality, these centers often have licensed medical professionals on staff, and they sometimes offer health services like ultrasounds and other prenatal care. They offer a host of services<\/a> and material help to pregnant women, including formula and baby food, diapers, clothes, furniture, supplies, and more. Data shows<\/a> that PRCs have saved the lives of more than 800,000 children from abortion in the past five years.<\/p>\n

Moropoulous told the news outlet that her center has already been able to clean up the damage and is continuing to serve women and families in need.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are fortunate the damage wasn\u2019t worse,” she said. “It\u2019s just destructive.\u201d<\/p>\n
