A crime against a pro-life pregnancy center in Des Moines is the subject of an ongoing FBI investigation. Agape Pregnancy Resource Center was vandalized in dual attacks on both June 3 and July 4, 2022, and the latter included a related Agape building. Now the FBI is offering a $15,000 reward f<\/span>or any information that leads to the \u201cidentification, arrest, and conviction of the suspect(s) responsible for these crimes.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As posted on an official <\/span>FBI Most Wanted page<\/span><\/a>, the Omaha Field Office<\/span> is seeking the public\u2019s help. It adds, \u201cThe damage included broken windows and spray-painted graffiti” and that “Spray-painted on the building were the statements, ‘FAKE CLINIC’ and ‘abortion 4ever’.”<\/span><\/p>\n

This facility was one of many<\/a>\u00a0targeted after Politico published a\u00a0leaked draft decision<\/a>\u00a0in the United States Supreme Court case of\u00a0Dobbs v. Jackson Women\u2019s Health Organization,\u00a0<\/i>the case that ultimately overturned Roe v. Wade<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Jane\u2019s Revenge, according to the Christian Post\u2019s Ryan Foley, is \u201ca pro-choice terrorist organization that has taken credit for multiple acts of vandalism against pro-life pregnancy centers and churches.\u201d It also took responsibility for this vandalism. <\/span>DSM Street Medics<\/span><\/a> denied involvement in a tweet it shared at the request of those responsible:<\/span><\/p>\n

The night of June 2nd, 2022 we vandalized Agape, a prominent crisis pregnancy center in a low income area of Des Moines, Iowa.\u00a0 Agape, like Innervisions, Birthright, and the many other crisis pregnancy centers in Iowa is a religious fake clinic that inflicts emotional, financial, and physical violence on people who need healthcare and support. They lie to, shame, and manipulate people into not getting abortions. Crisis pregnancy centers work to uphold patriarchy, christian supremacy, white supremacy, and cisheteronormativity. We broke windows and wrote messages of \u2018god loves abortion\u2019, \u2018fake clinic\u2019, \u2018this is not a safe place\u2019, and \u2018stop lying\u2019. It was fun and easy. Now is the time for action. Crisis pregnancy centers as well as the banks, businesses, and churches that support them are all responsible for the violence of forced birth.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

We are not asking for the right to choose. Abortions are not safe and neither are you.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

In solidarity, love, & rage,<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
