Pro-life headquarters vandalized with anti-child message, upside-down cross

On Monday, Pro-Life Action Ministries reported that their St. Paul, Minnesota, headquarters was vandalized overnight, following a Sunday prayer service outside a local Planned Parenthood. The vandal(s) marked the pro-life headquarters with multiple offensive messages, including an upside-down cross. The damage was discovered by a staff member upon arriving at the headquarters on Monday morning.

“Another f- mouth to feed,” read one of the crudely painted messages, in an apparent reference to the children whose lives are defended by pro-life groups. “F- Trump,” was scribbled nearby.

According to Pro-Life Action Ministries, the non-profit group never endorsed Donald Trump. Many pro-lifers supported other candidates for president, so the anti-Trump message was not only illegally (and poorly) painted, it was also an ineffective way of communicating opposition to pro-life values.

But it wasn’t the Trump comment that disturbed Pro-Life Action Ministries the most. Brian Gibson, the group’s Executive Director, explained…

Gibson claims that in addition to the vandalism, he received a harassing phone call on Sunday, January 22 — the 44th anniversary of Roe v. Wade.

Sadly, choosing to deface pro-life property and/or harass or threaten activists, rather than engaging in thoughtful and open-minded discussion, does not seem to be all that uncommon these days. In October, a pro-life display at Marquette University was vandalized by pro-abortion activists; September saw a masked club-wielding vandal attack a pro-life display at Ohio University, before turning to threateningly point the club at a pro-life activist.

Following the Ohio University incident, National Director of Created Equal, Mark Harrington, stated:

According to Pioneer Press, St. Paul police will be investigating the vandalism against Pro-Life Action Ministries.
