Kathy Hochul take action:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 25px;\"><em>It is maddening to learn that early Thursday morning, there was yet another criminal incident at CompassCare in Amherst. Last summer, CompassCare was firebombed, leaving the building destroyed. At that time, I called on Governor Hochul to use her resources, including the New York State Police, to investigate this violent incident and provide the same level of security that other women\u2019s health clinics receive \u2013 and ought to receive \u2013 in this state. The Governor unfortunately ignored my request, and here we are again.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 25px;\"><em>This morning, I repeat my calls for the Governor to utilize all resources at her disposal, including the State Police, to investigate this incident and hold the perpetrators responsible. Any criminal act against a women\u2019s health facility, whether pro-life or pro-choice, is intolerable and must be treated with the utmost seriousness.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, CompassCare said its staff will not be intimidated by pro-abortion extremists.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis fits the definitions of domestic terror,&#8221; Rev. Jim Harden, CompassCare CEO, said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.compasscarecommunity.com\/2023\/03\/antifa-attacks-christian-pro-life-compasscare-in-buffalo-again\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">press release<\/a>. &#8220;Those in the FBI and DOJ who refuse to treat it as such need to be fired and investigated. This is an act of intimidation and a violation of the FACE Act. America needs to return to a civilized order. CompassCare dignifies women with true choice and there\u2019s nothing Antifa can do to make us stop.
