Pro-abortion activism is getting increasingly violent across the United States. On Sunday, the headquarters of a non-profit pro-life organization in Madison, Wisconsin, were attacked by a leftist anarchist group.
According to a Madison.com report, vandals set fire to the Wisconsin Family Action (WFA) office early Sunday. Two staff returned to the office to find the office heavily damaged. There was shattered glass from a broken window covering a corner office, with books and furniture tossed over and thrown around. Graffiti written on the wall said, “If abortions aren’t safe, then you aren’t either.” Other graffiti apparently depicted a logo of Anarchy 1312, the organization allegedly responsible for the attack.
The fire was quickly put out by the Madison Fire Department. No one was injured.
Madison.com reporter Alexander Shur posted pictures of the ravaged office on his Twitter feed.
The WFA said in a press release that “a leftist anarchist group” attacked its headquarters by “throwing two Molotov cocktails into the office, after breaking windows, and then proceeded to light a fire.”
Julaine Appling, the organization’s president, stated:
While this attack was directly provoked by the leaked draft opinion from the US Supreme Court in the Dobbs case earlier this week, this has far broader implication. Apparently, the tolerance that the left demands is truly a one-way street. Violence has become their answer to everything.
Appling added that the incident was a result of Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers’ lenient stance toward violent groups.
“In 2020, Governor Tony Evers basically looked the other way when violence erupted in Kenosha and Madison. That kind of non-response fosters what happened to us this morning, leaving Wisconsin citizens who disagree with his policies extremely vulnerable to similar violence,” said Appling.
The governor, lamented Appling, has yet again failed to lead the state with dignity. Citing his statement posted on Twitter, the president of the pro-life group pointed out that Evers “said nothing about demanding a full investigation and criminal prosecution” while simply reassuring his supporters that he would “keep supporting abortion.”
Indeed, the first part of Evers’ statement seemingly “condemning violence and hatred in all forms” looks rather generic. He added in a subsequent tweet that he will continue to “work against overturning Roe and attacks on reproductive rights by leading with empathy and compassion.”
The Madison Police Department issued a statement saying that it alerted its federal partners and is investigating the arson jointly with the Madison Fire Department. The latter stated that the fire was set intentionally.
Senator Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) condemned the attack, which he called “abhorrent” on Twitter, adding that it “should be condemned by all.”
The incident took place a week after a leaked draft of a U.S. Supreme Court decision indicated a majority of justices planned to vote to overturn the court’s 1973 ruling that purportedly made abortion a federally protected right.
The event marks one of many incidents erupting across the country since the leaked SCOTUS draft on the Roe and Casey decision.
Last week, the Catholic St. Joseph Church and Academy in Armada, Michigan, was vandalized by pro-abortionists.
Activist Dave Reilly shared photos of the destruction on his Twitter account Friday:
According to the Tennessee Star,
The vandalism of St. Joseph’s Catholic Church follows a pattern of Catholic churches across North America being vandalized, including two that were burned to the ground in a span of days in Canada last summer.
Also last week, in Boulder, Colorado, Sacred Heart of Mary Church was hit.
According to the CBS Local,
Parishioners of the Boulder County church showed up for morning mass to find anti-catholic and abortion rights messages spray-painted on their buildings. Windows were smashed, and messages of universal healthcare were also left on sculptures.
Pro-abortion activists in Virginia and Maryland took to the streets on Saturday to intimidate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh and Chief Justice John Roberts.
According to the Bloomberg report, a mob of some 100 protesters, hoisting signs and chanting pro-abortion slogans, marched from Kavanaugh’s house in Chevy Chase, Maryland, to Chief Justice John Roberts’ home located nearby. The group then returned to Kavanaugh’s before police ordered it to disperse.
“The time for civility is over, man,” protest organizer Lacie Wooten-Holway warned, according to the outlet. “Being polite doesn’t get you anywhere.”
The pro-abortion group Ruth Sent Us has mapped out the exact locations of the homes of Amy Coney Barrett, John Roberts, Samuel Alito, Brett Kavanaugh, Clarence Thomas, and Neil Gorsuch on their website, yet the document appears to have been taken down (for now) by Google Maps over the content’s violation of company’s “terms and conditions.” The group plans another protest in front of “extremist justices'” homes this Wednesday.
According to Yahoo.com, abortion supporters rallied in Chicago, Atlanta, Houston, New York, and other cities over the weekend.
Pro-life website Life Action observed that far-left Antifa has been actively involved in the pro-abortion riots in Los Angeles, Portland, and Seattle. The outlet reported,
Rioters have broken windows and started fires, spray-painted graffiti, and attacked journalists over the course of the last few days. Pro-abortion protestors have also assaulted pro-lifers outside of the Supreme Court. Businesses were vandalized at a Portland State University protest; one man was arrested for reckless burning and disorderly conduct.
In a statement to Fox News on Monday, the White House said that President Joe Biden “strongly condemns this attack [on the WFA] and political violence of any stripe.”
Last week, Biden called pro-life conservatives “the MAGA crowd,” which he then called, “the most extreme political organization that’s existed in [recent] American history.”
