Radical abortion activists set fire to and vandalized a pro-life maternity center after the Supreme Court’s decided to overturn Roe v. Wade.
The Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, with a 5-4 majority decision in the Dobbs case that “the Constitution does not grant the right to abortion” — allowing states to ban abortions and protect unborn babies. The Supreme Court also ruled 6-3 to uphold the 15-week abortion ban in Mississippi, allowing states to restrict abortions further.
In response, radical abortion proponents have engaged in violence and terror across the country — burning maternity centers, vandalizing Fox News, and even terrorizing state lawmakers in the state capital. During the protests in Los Angeles, members of the crowd launched “fireworks and other improvised weapons” at the officers, and two abortion advocates were charged with attempted murder.
In Longmont, Colorado, north of Denver, abortion activists vandalized and set fire to the Life Choices maternity center. As the New York Post reports:
Police responded to a fire at Life Choices in Longmont around 3:20 a.m. and found the building ablaze with graffiti messages referencing the controversial overthrow of Roe v. Wade, officials said.
“If abortions aren’t safe, neither are you,” read one message, accompanied by the circled “A” anarchy symbol.

The saying has been written in dozens of pro-life centers since the court intended to overturn the 1973 ruling leaked in May.
“Forbidden our bodies” was also painted on the building’s entrance hallway, while another anarchy symbol graced the facade, according to photos released by police.
While left-wing abortion proponents engage in violence, life advocates have worked overtime to protect babies.
Texas and Oklahoma had banned abortions before Roe was destroyed and Missouri became the first state after Roe to protect babies from abortions, and South Dakota became the 2nd. Then Arkansas became the third state to protect babies from abortion and Kentucky became 4th, and Louisiana became 5th, and Ohio became 6th, and Utah became 7th, and Oklahoma became 8th.

“We believe that Roe and Casey should be overruled. The Constitution does not prohibit the citizens of any state from regulating or prohibiting abortion. Roe and Casey have usurped that authority. We now reject those decisions and return that authority to the people and their elected representatives,” Judge Samuel Alito wrote before the majority.
“The Constitution makes no reference to abortion, and such a right is not implicitly protected by any constitutional provision, including the one that Roe and Casey’s defenders now primarily rely on — the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment,” Judge Samuel Alito wrote. in the opinion of the majority. “That provision is held to guarantee some rights not mentioned in the Constitution, but such a right must be ‘deeply rooted in the history and tradition of this nation’ and ‘implicit in the concept of ordered liberty’.”
Immediately after the decision, Texas abortion companies announced they would be closing, and South Carolina told it had asked a federal appeals court to uphold the abortion ban.
Ultimately, as many as 26 states could immediately or expeditiously ban abortions and protect babies from certain death for the first time in nearly 50 years.
The 13 states with trigger laws that effectively ban all or most abortions are Arkansas, Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and Wyoming. Some states, such as Idaho, Mississippi, North Dakota, Tennessee, and Wyoming, have short periods before the law goes into effect.
“Abortion poses a profound moral question. The Constitution does not prohibit the citizens of any state from regulating or prohibiting abortion. Roe and Casey have usurped that authority. We now reject those decisions and return that authority to the people and their elected representatives,” Alito wrote.
“Roe was wrong from the start. The reasoning was exceptionally weak, and the decision has had damaging consequences,” Alito wrote. “And far from bringing about a national settlement of the abortion issue, Roe and Casey have fueled debate and deepened divisions.”
This is a milestone for the Pro-Life movement and our entire nation. After nearly 50 years of staining the moral fabric of our country, Roe v. Wade is no more.
Judges Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Stephen Breyer wrote a joint dissent condemning the decision to allow states to impose “draconian” restrictions on women.
Polls show that most Americans are pro-life and against Roe v. Wade and allowing abortion on demand in some states up to birth.
