A pregnancy resource center in Schenectady, New York became the latest target of more than 100 vandalism and arson attacks on pro-life organizations and churches since May.

Joe Burkuras, a journalist with the Catholic News Agency, broke the news Wednesday about the vandalism at Alpha Pregnancy Care Center, near Albany.

A photo of the crime shows the words “Jane’s Revenge,” “Fake clinic” and “Stop forced birth!” spray-painted in red across the outside of the pro-life organization’s office. Jane’s Revenge is a radical pro-abortion group that has been connected to fire bombings and vandalism at pro-life organizations across the country.

Burkuras said the vandalism occurred Monday.

In a statement, Alpha Pregnancy Care Center said the attack will not stop the organization from continuing to serve mothers and babies in need.

“While this is a disappointment, we are not surprised by it nor are we swayed from our mission,” the organization said. “Please know that we will continue to press on in our regular activities while also being diligent to make sure our facilities remain safe for our clients, volunteers and staff.”

The pregnancy center also asked for prayers in the increasingly hostile political environment.

“As 1 Corinthians encourages us, we will continue to be alert, stand firm and remain strong in the Lord and the mission He has given us! Please continue to keep us in your prayers as we press on and fight the good fight,” Alpha Pregnancy Care Center said.

Since May when a leaked draft ruling showed the U.S. Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade, pro-life advocates have been targets of a wave of vandalism and violence. Eight pro-life organizations and churches were victims of arson and more than 100 others were vandalized.

Pro-life advocates, conservative politicians and judges also have been assaulted, threatened and harassed. Several conservative U.S. Supreme Court justices and their families have been targets of threats, including an attempted assassination on Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

Even more violence has occurred at pro-abortion protests across the country, including one in which a Los Angeles police officer was burned by a flamethrower.

The crime wave has many pro-life organizations increasing security and Republican lawmakers demanding action from the Biden administration to crack down on the growing domestic terrorism. The FBI announced an investigation into the pro-abortion violence in June, but many believe the Biden administration and Democrat leaders are not doing enough to stop the violence.

In July, U.S. House Democrats blocked a resolution condemning the violence against pro-life organizations and churches.
