In the aftermath of the United States Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, abortion activists and the powerful abortion lobby have turned their attention to the anti-abortion pregnancy centers that have saved so many lives.

A radical pro-abortion group that calls itself Jane’s Revenge has perpetrated dozens of attacks on centers that provide resources for pregnant women in need.

Jane’s Revenge has published statements taking responsibility for the attacks. After the firebombing attacks in Wisconsin, the group published a statement demanding that “all anti-choice establishments” and “fake clinics” disband within 30 days and promising to ramp up their violence. When 30 days elapsed, they published another statement declaring “open season” on all anti-abortion organizations.

Although Facebook has labeled Jane’s Revenge a terrorist organization, per parent company Meta’s official policy, the FBI has yet to make any such official designation.

It isn’t just fringe anarchist groups; leftist politicians are also on the warpath, with Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., taking the lead.

Warren is co-sponsoring legislation that would fine anti-abortion pregnancy centers $100,000 for anti-abortion “disinformation” — without defining the term. And she is among several prominent Democrats pressuring Google to restrict the appearance of anti-abortion pregnancy centers in their online search engine.

These are only the latest efforts by Democrats to crush those who offer pregnant women choices other than abortion. In 2015, the state of California passed the Reproductive FACT Act, a law that required anti-abortion crisis pregnancy centers to advertise for abortion services, and imposed stiff fines for failing to do so. Vice President Kamala Harris was the attorney general of California at the time.

The National Institute of Family and Life Advocates sued California, arguing that the Reproductive FACT Act violated their constitutionally protected freedom of speech. Current Secretary of Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra (who became California’s AG when Harris was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2016) defended the law. In 2018, the United States Supreme Court struck down the act as unconstitutional.

The editors of National Review remarked at the time, “(T)he state intentionally targeted anti-abortion health centers … No other health centers were subject to the law’s requirements — which, we rather suspect, was the point … (T)he state had a clear bias against anti-abortion groups and in favor of the abortion industry.”

What was Planned Parenthood’s motivation then? The same as it is now: Money.

An NPR article published the day of the NIFLA v. Becerra decision pointed out that there were 2,700 crisis pregnancy centers in the U.S.

Crisis pregnancy centers have an extraordinary success rate. The majority of women who visit anti-abortion pregnancy centers decide to have their babies. This threatens the business model of abortion clinics across the country like Planned Parenthood.

Notwithstanding the hysterical accusations of Warren and others, anti-abortion centers are not forcing women to have babies. But many pregnant women consider abortion because they fear that it is their only option. When presented with assistance, they feel empowered to make a different choice.

One would think that the “pro-choice” movement would embrace — or at least tolerate — the ability of women to make the choice to have their children. That they have declared war on the people and organizations supporting women who make that choice tells you plenty.
