A Christian pregnancy center in Buffalo, New York was firebombed on Tuesday, in the latest attack on a pro-life facility in the wake of a leaked Supreme Court draft opinion suggesting the court is poised to overturn Roe v. Wade.

Fire tore through the offices of Compass Care located on Eggert Road in Buffalo, on Tuesday night at 2:30 a.m. 

The message ‘Jane was here,’ was scrawled across the building’s exterior.

A pro-choice terrorist organization calling itself ‘Jane’s Revenge’ has claimed responsibility for previous attacks.

A facility in Madison, Wisconsin was firebombed last month.

‘Jane’s Revenge’ reportedly claimed responsibility for the Madison incident and warned of more violence if similar organizations don’t disband nationwide, Wisconsin State Journal reported. 

In Buffalo, the windows on the building were blown out in the reception area and nurses office. Shards of glass scattered were amid layers of thick dust and debris.

Town of Amherst Supervisor Brian Kulpa expressed outrage that the fire was deliberate, and vowed to hold those responsible accountable. 

He said, in part, ‘I am disgusted that lives were put at risk,’ WKBW reported. ‘A violent response is never the answer. There is no place in Amherst for such attacks… Our thoughts are with the firefighters as they recover.’  

Hours after the fire, Compass Care CEO Jim Harden issued a message saying they will ‘rebuild because women deserve better.’ 

‘This is the pro-abortion “Kristallnacht.” Because of this act of violence, the needs of women facing unplanned pregnancy will go unmet and babies will die. I wonder if Gov. Hochul will veto the Pregnancy Center Investigation Bill? I wonder if Attorney General Letitia James will investigate these cowardly criminals?’ he said.

He added: ‘Compass Care will not stop serving because pre-born boys and girls deserve protection.’

On May 8, a Molotov cocktail was thrown through a window of the headquarters of the nonprofit political advocacy group Wisconsin Family Action office in Madison, Wisconsin.

The fire burned a wall and two windows were destroyed.

The outside of the building was graffitied with anarchist insignia, the numbers ‘1312’ (meaning ‘all cops are bastards’), and ‘if abortions aren’t safe then you aren’t either.’

No one was hurt in the attack but, police called it an act of vandalism and arson. 

An investigative reporter for the online Netherlands-based news site Bellingcat, released the first communication from ‘Jane’s Revenge’ after the attack.

The statement read: ‘This is not a declaration of war. War has been upon us for decades. A war which we did not want, and did not provoke. Too long have we been attacked for asking for basic medical care. Too long have we been shot, bombed, and forced into childbirth without consent.’

The statement also demanded ‘the disbanding of all anti-choice establishments’ within 30 days, and states that its first attack was ‘only a warning,’ but there will be future attacks until ‘the inalienable right to manage our own health is returned to us.’ The group claims to have a presence across the United States that could launch further attacks.’
