Description

In the wake of the Supreme Court’s opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, violence has erupted across the country. At least 73 crisis pregnancy centers have been vandalized and 86 churches have been attacked. Jane’s Revenge—a militant pro-abortion group—has claimed responsibility for many of the attacks, often leaving their signature graffiti: “If abortion’s not safe, then neither are you.”

Although the FBI claims to be investigating these incidents, no arrests have been made. The FBI has, however, arrested 12 pro-life activists, who have been charged with violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act.
