In the aftermath of the Supreme Court’s leaked draft decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health, several crisis pregnancy centers have been targeted by pro-abortion radicals who violently oppose their mission.

Over the weekend, a center in Oregon was the target of an arson attack, the wall graffitied with “If abortions aren’t safe then neither are you.” A week earlier, another clinic in Buffalo, N.Y., was firebombed, an attack for which the pro-abortion group Jane’s Revenge claimed responsibility. The same group was apparently responsible for vandalizing the Capitol Pregnancy Center on June 3. In total, at least 24 crisis pregnancy centers have experienced some form of vandalism since the leak. Coupled with the failed assassination attempt on Justice Brett Kavanaugh, these attacks have pro-life clinics concerned for their safety.
