At least 23 pro-life organizations have reportedly been vandalized in recent weeks.
The pro-life organizations have been either firebombed or vandalized by radical leftists, according to Catholic Vote:
- Hollywood, FL — South Broward Pregnancy Center and Archdiocese of Miami Respect Life Ministry
- Asheville, NC — Mountain Area Pregnancy Services
- Manassas, VA — First Care Women’s Health
- Alexandria, VA — Concerned Women for America
- Reiserstown, MD — Alpha Pregnancy Center
- Frederick, MD — BirthRight of Frederick
- Frederick, MD — CareNet Frederick
- Reiserstown, MD — Alpha Pregnancy Center
- Buffalo, NY — CompassCare Pregnancy Services
- Madison, WI — Wisconsin Family Action
- Des Moines, IA — Agape Pregnancy Resource Center
- Denton, TX — Woman to Woman Pregnancy Resource Center
- Austin, TX — Trotter House
- Long Beach, CA — His Nesting Place Home for Mothers & Children
- Sebastopol, CA — Pregnancy Center Billboard

The attacks follow a leaked Supreme Court decision that revealed Roe v. Wade may be overturned this month. If overturned, abortion would no longer be protected by the federal government but would still be legal in many states.
Though President Biden campaigned on unity, Biden has not condemned a single one of the attacks, the RNC reported on Monday. Moreover, many establishment television networks refuse to cover the extremism:

Many of the attacks have been brutal and vulgar in nature. “If abortions aren’t safe then you aren’t either,” vandals wrote on a Wisconsin Family Action facility.
In Oregon, Gresham Pregnancy Resource Center was reportedly firebombed on Saturday. Images show a burned-out shell inside the center’s facility, according to Life News.
The attack followed firebombings of pro-life groups and pregnancy centers in Wisconsin, Oregon, and New York.
The rise of far-left extremism comes after Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot (D) used violent rhetoric against those who hold dissenting political views. Lightfoot called the “LGBTQ+ community… to arms.”
Schumer stated that Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh will “pay the price” for overturning Roe v. Wade. “You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions,” he said.
To my friends in the LGBTQ+ community—the Supreme Court is coming for us next. This moment has to be a call to arms.

Chuck Schumer called for this violence. The armed lunatic who showed up at Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s home was simply following orders. Justice cannot be served under the threat of mob violence. https://t.co/cZ3OE4QbFh pic.twitter.com/FDLbzdXdBW

Soon after the political statements using violent rhetoric, a rash of extremism broke out.
Last week, a suspect was arrested and charged with an assassination attempt against Kavanaugh. On Thursday, Arizona Senate candidate Blake Masters witnessed a man with a Black Lives Matter t-shirt allegedly attacking a woman by hitting her in the jaw. On May 4, a Catholic parish in Denver, Colorado, was vandalized “with smashed windows and spray-painted pro-abortion messages,” the Washington Times reported.
