And many Christian pregnancy care centers are eager to give these women another option.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the attacks, there have been no arrests at federal or state level, pro-life leaders say.<\/p>\n<p>The NIFLA, a group that trains, protects, and equips more than 1,600 pregnancy care centers across the country, said it knows of no cases against even vandals, its vice president of legal affairs Anne O\u2019Connor said in an email.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile we are unaware of any arrests related to these incidents, we know that in some cases, the FBI is investigating potential hate crimes and violations of the FACE Act. In others, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has been brought in to help,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>The FACE Act was originally signed by President Bill Clinton to <a href=\"http:\/\/archive.prochoice.org\/wp-content\/themes\/archive\/about_abortion\/violence\/FACE_act.html\">protect<\/a> abortion providers.<\/p>\n<h2>Efforts \u2018Appreciated\u2019<\/h2>\n<p>It creates penalties for attempts to injure or intimidate people to prevent them from obtaining or providing \u201creproductive health services.\u201d It also punishes attempts to destroy reproductive health service facilities.<\/p>\n<p>Centers provide reproductive health services too and are now benefitting from the act\u2019s provisions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlthough violent acts against life-affirming pregnancy centers and medical clinics are on the rise, we appreciate the efforts of local and national law enforcement to maintain order and safety in our communities,\u201d O\u2019Connor said.<\/p>\n<p>She also condemned violence against any human being.<\/p>\n<p>Many of the attacks have come from the radical group Jane\u2019s Revenge, which has called for escalated attacks against pro-life groups after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.<\/p>\n<p>No one knows the exact structure or numbers of Jane\u2019s Revenge, but the group has conducted attacks across America.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will hunt you down and make your lives a living hell,\u201d its online page reads. The group has announced that it is at \u201cwar\u201d with pro-lifers, and that it is willing to take their lives.<\/p>\n<p>Jane\u2019s Revenge isn\u2019t the only group behind attacks. Some attacks were by unaffiliated people.<\/p>\n<h2>Nationwide Violence<\/h2>\n<p>Some pro-life leaders have <a href=\"https:\/\/townhall.com\/tipsheet\/leahbarkoukis\/2022\/06\/07\/another-prolife-pregnancy-center-firebombed-n2608321\">described<\/a> the months after the leaked Supreme Court draft on Roe v. Wade as the \u201cpro-abortion Kristallnacht.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pro-life leaders including Roberts say they are concerned about repeat attacks because of the lack of arrests.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is some concern,\u201d she said. \u201cWe were actually threatened again by phone. And there are groups that want to pursue continuing to harass different centers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Roberts has hired 24-hour security guards after the attack. It is expensive, but she estimates the damage the clinic suffered will cost $250,000 to repair.<\/p>\n<p>She added that the series of pro-abortion attacks might be enough to raise the cost of insurance as well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat has been at the top of my list of thoughts,\u201d Roberts said. \u201cIt would be very possible for that to happen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite the uncertainty and risk of more attacks, Roberts said her clinic has to keep working to help pregnant women.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe cannot ever let a bully on the block stop us from doing a good work,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Firebomb attacks like the ones that hit Roberts\u2019 clinic are only solved 21 percent of the time, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/252463\/clearance-rate-of-arson-offenses-in-the-united-states-by-type\/\">according to crime statistics<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The Epoch Times contacted the Justice Department\u2019s Office of Public Affairs, but has not yet received a response.<\/p>\n<div class=\"author_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"one_author_block round\">\n<div class=\"top_row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/author-jackson-elliott\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/WEB_JacksonElliott.jpeg\" alt=\"Jackson Elliott\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Follow<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Jackson Elliott reports on small-town America for The Epoch Times.
