CompassCare is a network of pro-life medical offices. Their Buffalo office was firebombed in a series of over 50 attacks on peaceful pro-life pregnancy centers by pro-abortion extremists like Jane’s Revenge on June 7. The evidence provided and the two injuries, CompassCare claims, should be enough to make an arrest. But after being denied multiple good faith requests over the last 107 days to view its own video surveillance of the attack, CompassCare’s attorney is now asking a judge to order the Amherst Police to provide CompassCare with a copy.
Q&A:
- What happened after the firebombing of CompassCare’s pro-life medical office on June 7th?
Answer: CompassCare’s Buffalo medical office was firebombed in a series of over 50 attacks on peaceful pro-life pregnancy centers by pro-abortion extremists like Jane’s Revenge on June 7. A recent FOIA request by CompassCare attorneys revealed the attack injured two firemen. Now, 107 days after the firebombing and despite the violence, law enforcement remains lethargic.
- What does CompassCare do to serve the community?
Answer: Pro-life pregnancy centers like CompassCare serve women primarily through a team of nurses who provide for the unmet health and resource needs of women facing unplanned pregnancy. Most, including CompassCare, are funded by Christian people and churches, providing all services, including medical care, for free.
- What can you tell us about the status of the threats against pro-life pregnancy centers like CompassCare?
Answer: Jane’s Revenge continues their ultimatum and barbaric attacks. Pro-abortion elites like NY Gov. Kathy Hochul call pro-lifers ‘Neanderthals’ while signing legislation to investigate them. NY AG Letitia James demanded Google wipe pro-life organizations off the maps so women seeking services could not find them. Big tech like Google and Yelp have begun aggressive censorship.
- What is the status of the investigation into the firebombing of CompassCare’s medical office?
Answer: There have been no arrests made in any of the over 50 attacks on pro-life pregnancy centers. The evidence provided and the two injuries should be enough to make an arrest. But after being denied multiple good faith requests over the last 107 days to view its own video surveillance of the attack, CompassCare’s attorney is now asking a judge to order the Amherst Police to provide CompassCare with a copy.
- What has been the response from the Amherst Police and Town of Amherst?
Answer:
- Representing the Town of Amherst and the Amherst Police, Attorney Stanley Sliwa told a Buffalo news agency, “We don’t want to disseminate the tape to anyone because we don’t want it to get out…who we’re looking at.”
- When interviewed by an Epoch Times reporter, Sliwa’s comments became incendiary. Asking why the Police refused to let the victims have their own video, the reporter stated Sliwa feared the information would cause violence from the political right. Sliwa was then quoted as saying, “You’re aware of all the nut jobs out there with guns and AK-47s, bombing and killing people because they have certain political views.”
- What is CompassCare’s response to Attorney Stanley Sliwa’s comments?
Answer: Sliwa’s comments only confirm what we suspected; bias. The only bombings we’re aware of come from the political left. Hence the investigation. We are for law and order. Linking peaceful victims to bombers and killers is staggering. If Sliwa is truly representing the Town of Amherst and the Amherst Police Department, then it confirms leadership at the FBI and Town of Amherst deprioritized the investigation for political reasons.
