CompassCare is partnering with the Thomas More Society in order to launch their own investigation into the attack on one of its medical offices.
The pro–life pregnancy center network is not satisfied with the FBI‘s lack of progress in identifying the perpetrators and has decided to employ private investigators to find those responsible.
This move allows the organization to take control of the situation and investigate at their own pace and in their own way.
“After talking with our investigators so far, they’ve already provided very valuable insight that we didn’t know. And they do have a track record of identifying terrorists both internationally and domestically,” Compass Care CEO Jim Harden told National Review.
In June, a Buffalo–based pregnancy resource center, Compass Care, was firebombed and vandalized by pro–abortion activists linked to Jane‘s Revenge. The attack was in response to the Supreme Court overturning of Roe v. Wade.
The destruction caused more than $100,000 worth of damage, and it took over a month for the organization to repair and reopen. Compass Care provides medical and financial assistance to pregnant and new mothers in lieu of abortion. They also offer resources such as counseling, material aid and services, and referrals to other support systems.
“Security alone at all three of our sites has cost $150,000 this year. In the next budget it will probably cost us an additional $80,000 every year,” Harden told National Review at the time. Harden even had to temporarily relocate his family due to doxxing threats from pro-abortion activists.
After an attack on a pregnancy–resource center in Buffalo, NY, group Jane‘s Revenge claimed responsibility and threatened to continue violence against similar centers. In response, 124 Republican Members of Congress urged the Attorney General to investigate the incidents as acts of domestic violent extremism.
However, four months later there has been no thorough investigation by the FBI. The agency advertised a $25,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of arsonists, but Compass Care called this a ruse. The center said it would take the reward to cover the cost of hiring private investigators if they apprehend suspects.
“If the FBI is interested in quelling the nationwide hate crimes against Christian pro-life organizations, they would offer a reward for information leading to the arrests of all 78 attacks, not just for the pro-abortion terrorists who firebombed our facility,” Harden said. “It is a sad day when private citizens are left to do the work of law enforcement.”
Watch
It’s sad that pro-life facilities don’t seem to get the same attention as liberal establishments.
