A pregnancy resource center (PRC) in Houston was the target of vandalism on January 29, and the center\u2019s leader believes the attack was racially motivated.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sylvia B. Johnson, executive director of Houston Pregnancy Help Center (HPHC), also told Catholic News Agency<\/a> that she didn\u2019t feel she could call the police following the attack because the city is<\/span> \u201cvery pro-abortion.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Though there are three branches of HPHC, Johnson said that the one that was vandalized was located in the city\u2019s Fifth Ward, a predominantly Black neighborhood, and it serves mostly minority clients. Johnson, who is Black, said that the two vandals, who appear to be Caucasian, were seen on camera writing “<\/span>Abortion for all\u201d on the front of the facility, and gluing its locks shut.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
