This is very scary.
On Friday (June 17), the FBI announced it would be investigating attacks on pregnancy centers — following the leak of the Supreme Court’s draft opinion that reveals the Justices’ intention to overturn Roe V. Wade — as potential acts of domestic terrorism.
In a statement, the FBI indicates it is “investigating a series of attacks and threats targeting pregnancy resource centers and faith-based organizations across the country.”
The bureau also reiterated its stance to take “all threats seriously” and its commitment to “work closely with our law enforcement partners and will remain vigilant to protect our communities.”
In its statement on Friday, the FBI also called on those with information on the attacks to come forward either alerting law enforcement, calling their local FBI office, or email tips.fbi.gov.
The instructions also apply to possible future attacks.
So far, “Jane’s Revenge,” a pro-choice group, has taken credit for several attacks on pro-life organizations, including the Wisconsin Family Action that took place last month.
They also took credit for the attack on a Washington, D.C. crisis pregnancy center that occurred last week, where the building was vandalized when attackers threw red paint at the building.
Although no groups have claimed to start a fire at a pregnancy resource center in Gresham, Oregon, federal investigators are investigating the early morning.
According to reporting by KION, the building was heavily damaged as a result of the fire, but no fatalities or injuries were reported.
Friday’s fire is the latest in a string of attacks on pro-life Christian pregnancy centers after a New York pregnancy center was allegedly the target of arson.
