Violence against anti-abortion movement increases ahead of Dobbs decision

But attacks against crisis pregnancy centers, some of them faith-based, have risen steadily since the leak of a draft opinion in the case Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which suggested the court is considering overturning the legal precedent that prevents states from banning abortion.

A Washington Examiner review identified recent incidents of arson, vandalism, or both at at least 13 anti-abortion centers across the country.

Police are investigating an alleged arson at a crisis pregnancy center in Buffalo, New York, on Tuesday after a fire destroyed much of a Christian pregnancy center and injured two of the firemen who responded to it.

Investigations are underway at several other pregnancy centers hit by Molotov cocktails in the month since the Dobbs opinion leaked, including in Keizer, Oregon , and in Madison, Wisconsin .

But police have made few arrests, if any.
