<\/div>

The State of California has enacted a $20 million grant program for the protection of abortion businesses, a measure that comes as harassment and violence against pro-life organizations continues<\/a> nearly unchecked.<\/span><\/p>\n

California Governor Gavin Newsom framed the grants as a means to <\/span>build up abortion infrastructure<\/span><\/a> in the state, including $20 million towards greater security for abortion businesses, both brick-and-mortar and virtual. A spokesperson from the California Office of Emergency Services, which oversees the grants, cited trends published by the National Abortion Federation that purported to show a need for the grants. \u201cThe threats we face in 2023 and beyond are no longer just physical threats,\u201d he said, according to <\/span>CapRadio<\/span><\/a>. \u201cThere are cybersecurity threats, and in many cases, [abortion] providers don’t have the level of sophistication in terms of some of their operations.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Although it\u2019s unclear how many or what kind of digital threats abortion organizations face, California state officials <\/span>yet again<\/span><\/a> plan to funnel taxpayer funds to the abortion industry. \u201cBad actors may be either states that are adversarial to abortion rights or they might be private actors \u2014 individuals, groups \u2014 that are trying to make it harder for those seeking abortions,\u201d the spokesperson added.<\/span><\/p>\n

California has long been one of the most abortion-friendly states in the nation, with nearly <\/span>20% of chemical abortions<\/span><\/a> per year in the U.S. committed in that state alone. Late last year, a broad swath of abortion-related legislation was passed in California, including Proposition 1 enshrining a <\/span>right to abortion in the state\u2019s constitution<\/span><\/a> that incorporated a legal loophole allowing infanticide, as well as grants to protect abortion businesses, according to CapRadio.<\/span><\/p>\n

This latest pro-abortion grant comes as violence against pro-life individuals, businesses, and pregnancy resource centers (PRCs) has grown \u2013 with the vast majority of perpetrators remaining at large. In <\/span>Long Beach, California<\/span><\/a>, an angry pro-abortion protester disrupted a pro-life maternity home during a church service, cursed, and broke items before police removed her. Pro-abortion terrorist group Jane\u2019s Revenge <\/span>took credit for attacking PRCs<\/span><\/a> in California and Vermont, and threatened to \u201chunt\u201d pro-lifers at their <\/span>homes<\/span><\/a>. The threatening mantra, \u201c<\/span>If abortions aren\u2019t safe, neither are you<\/span><\/a>\u201d has frequently been used to <\/span>vandalize<\/span><\/a> pro-life targets all over the country. Jane\u2019s Revenge and other abortion activists have also firebombed pro-life targets in <\/span>Wisconsin<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Oregon<\/span><\/a>, and\u00a0<\/span>New York<\/span><\/a>, set fire to a facility in <\/span>Colorado<\/span><\/a>, set fire to a Catholic church in <\/span>Virginia<\/span><\/a>, and carried out\u00a0<\/span>many<\/span><\/a> more<\/span><\/a> violent attacks\u00a0<\/span>documented<\/span><\/a> by Live Action News.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In June of last year, dozens of pro-life organizations and members of Congress <\/span>sent a letter<\/span><\/a> to Attorney General Merrick Garland<\/span> calling out the government’s apparent lack of response to such harassment surrounding the overturn of Roe v. Wade<\/em>. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe relative silence from the Administration endangers Americans even more,\u201d the letter reads. \u201cOne extremist group is advocating for violence in response to the final Supreme Court decision on Dobbs, while another group has published home addresses, and encouraged people to show up at Supreme Court Justices\u2019 homes, churches, and their children\u2019s schools in an attempt to coerce the Justices and influence their final decision. Last week, there was an attempted assassination of a sitting Supreme Court Justice at his home.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

In January 2023, the House of Representatives passed a resolution <\/span>condemning such attacks<\/span><\/a> on pro-life groups. Although the DOJ recently\u00a0<\/span>indicted<\/span><\/a> two Florida residents for vandalism against PRCs, dozens more incidents remain unresolved.<\/span><\/p>\n
