In what appears to be the 250th attack on a Catholic Church since the Dobbs decision was leaked in early 2022, abortion activists vandalized a church in Oregon with graphic messages.
People heading to church services Sunday morning at St. Patrick’s Church in northwest Portland, Oregon arrived to find disturbing pro-abortion messages on the church door and sidewalk. The front door bears a stain from where staff had to have a previous pro-abortion message removed.
As Andy Ngo reported on Twitter about the latest attack, “Multiple Christian houses of worship have been attacked in Portland since 2020 by far-left extremists but the left-wing leadership, DA and law enforcement do not treat them as bias crimes.”
According to the pro-lfie group CatholicVote, 249 attacks on Catholic churches have taken place since the Dobbs leak.
CatholicVote’s Violence Tracker has documented more than 400 attacks and vandalisms against Catholic churches across the United States since May 2020.
Police are investigating an incident of vandalism that took place last week in Oklahoma, where a suspect forcibly toppled and broke a historic statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary and a statue of the Holy Family outside of a local Catholic church.
The vandalism took place on April 19 at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Muskogee, Oklahoma. Upon discovering the toppled statues, the parish reported the vandalism, which was caught on security cameras, to local police.
Three people were seen on camera when the vandalism took place, but only one of them is reportedly seen damaging the statues.
Associate pastor Fr. Robert Dye told local news outlet the Muskogee Phoenix, “It looks like someone came up to both statues and pushed them over… One of them, you can see him pushing hard. It took some effort. It was bolted down.”
The statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary, which parish members said was more than 100 years old, was found shattered on the sidewalk by the church.
“I just remember how beautiful she is. She just had the most beautiful face ever,” parishioner Susan Lacey told the Muskogee Phoenix, describing the historic Marian statue. “It’s just breaking my heart.”
Because they can't kill a baby!
If this happened at an abortion clinic there would be a J6 level investigation by the Feds.
Pro lifers just stand on the side walk and pray and they get investigated by the Feds!
They’re just rubbing it in at this point seeing how the pro-life movement has been thoroughly and completely defeated.
Big money in abortion. Who gets the money.
They like to claim “my body my choice” except when it comes to the COVID injection. /spit
They would never dare to vandalize a mosque that way for obvious reasons.
Federal felony indictments, no-knock SWAT raids at dawn, the whole deal.
