The CEO for CompassCare is wondering just what political agenda the group has in mind.
Sunday, January 15, at 11:30 P.M. the abortion business Planned Parenthood in Peoria, IL was firebombed. Similar attacks have occurred against 78 pro-life medical offices and pregnancy centers nationwide since the leak of the Supreme Court ruling overturning the longstanding abortion ruling Roe v Wade. The abortion anarchist group Jane’s Revenge claimed responsibility and threatens more such attacks. The anarchist message to pro-life people is, “If abortion isn’t safe, neither are you.”
In an odd turn of events, Sunday’s attack was not on a pro-life pregnancy center but an abortion facility, playing into a recent and unsubstantiated political narrative (promoted by Rep. Nadler, FBI Director Wray, and others) that crimes against abortionists are increasing dramatically, insinuating pro-life people are to blame. Local news says an arrest is imminent.
CompassCare CEO expressed concern over Jane’s Revenge’s actions, even against a Planned Parenthood. “The attack on Planned Parenthood is an act of domestic terrorism deserving the full efforts of federal law enforcement, which pro-life organizations like CompassCare have yet to receive,” Harden explained. “We offer our condolences to Planned Parenthood and pray for a quick recovery of the brave injured firefighter.”
Furthermore, Rev. Harden already has private investigators looking into the matter, to see if there are any answers surrounding Jane’s Revenge’s heinous actions. “Attacking an abortionist does not make someone pro-life, it makes them crazy.”
He added, “This recent terror attack at Planned Parenthood is being unjustly used to foment public outrage against pro-life political targets, like Emperor Nero setting fire to Rome and blaming it on Christians.”
Harden (or CompassCare advancement manager Daniel Tomlinson) joins us now to discuss the attack, as well as what could come next.
Q&A:
- What does the attack say about the current abortion climate in the U.S.?
- Could pro-life centers also see similar attacks in the months to come?
- This eerily reminds you of a scenario from last year when a Buffalo CompassCare location was firebombed. Tell us more about it. Have any suspects even been found yet?
- Now that the U.S. Congress has a Republican majority, do you think it will try to set up more protection for pro-life people and centers such as CompassCare from future attacks? What do you forsee the response of groups such as Jane’s Revenge to be?
- Where do you see the battle for abortion in 2023 going as a whole?
- For those that are interested in supporting CompassCare and learning more about the services they provide, where can they go?
