A blaze at an anti-abortion clinic in Getzville, New York, is reportedly being investigated as a potential arson attack, according to police. The fire started overnight at CompassCare, whose president said that the alleged arsonists left graffiti on the building reading, “Jane Was Here.” He alleged that the writing refers to the abortion rights group Jane’s Revenge, which claimed responsibility for an arson attack in Madison, Wisconsin, in May. Police have not confirmed the graffiti nor the group’s involvement in the New York attack, but are investigating the case.

Gonna be a hot summer.

1. I'd be willing to bet the "pro-life" people did this.

This is their usual M. O.

3. +1

[FarPoint]

10. My sense on the event as well...

They know no boundaries.

2. Honest question.

What is an anti-abortion clinic ?

[Archae]

4. Where the "pro-life" people badger those who are thinking of an abortion.

[Ray Bruns]

5. Crisis Pregnancy Centers that pretend to offer pregnancy services

but are geared to convincing women not to have an abortion at all costs.

7. The opposite of Planned Parenthood

If a scared desperate woman or girl is pregnant, they will scare the shit out of her with guilt trips and shame so that she won't choose abortion. If they have any sense of decency they would help her with healthcare during her pregnancy and might even connect her with adoption, but probably not.

14. Guilt trips, shame, AND misinformation.

For example:

The counseling provided on abortion and contraception by CPCs falls outside accented medical standards and guidelines for providing evidence-based information and treatment options. For example, CPCs often suggest a link between abortion and subsequent serious mental health problems, while multiple studies have invalidated this assertion. Similarly, centers cite debunked literature showing an association between abortion and breast cancer. Although abortion has been shown to be safer than childbirth [23], it is portrayed as a dangerous or even deadly procedure .

Some would say these places deliberately lie about issues such as the supposed "risks" of abortion, and that is true in a literal sense. I'm pretty sure a lot of the people at those places believe every word of the crap they're serving up, but I also doubt that they really care. These are anti-choice zealots who believe that if they can stop a woman from having an abortion, they are doing her a huge favor. They'll tell her anything they think might help them accomplish that goal.

22. A lie center....

Also known as a Crises Pregnancy Center. A place where people can do some pretty horrible shit all in the name of Jebus. I despise them with every fiber of my being.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

26. They offer pee-on-a-stick pregnancy tests and maaaaaaaybe an ultrasound, and a lot of "medical

clinic vibes" like people walking around in scrubs, none of whom have any medical training but are happy to talk to you about the terrible side-effects of abortion. Many of them get tax money from state governments.

6. Jane's Revenge... like the name

[SKKY]

8. I was today years old when I found out anti-abortion centers exist...

...but seriously, someone will have to explain to me how this helps our side.

[bucolic_frolic]

9. Sounds like an inside job to me

Would a real arsonist sign their evil deed?

[TeamProg]

15. What's the motivation?

[bucolic_frolic]

17. To make pro-choice look bad /nbt

[TeamProg]

18. That makes no sense.

"To make pro-choice look bad /nbt"

[tenderfoot]

19. What would motivate someone else to do it?

[TeamProg]

20. Oh shoot, my brain totally missed the "Anti" abortion clinic! Sorry!

Yep, that's too crazy, could be an inside job.

Pro-choicers have other avenues to fight.

[tenderfoot]

21. I just looked up the "group" that took "credit" for doing it - nothing but right wing sources and...

public "antifa" accounts on reddit and twitter.

And the cursive writing with the anarchy A... 🤣😂😆. Then there's the damage coming from the inside as well. No doubt their facilities have security cameras. You'd think footage from previous incidents would have been posted somewhere.

here's a link to a previous incident:

I've heard nothing about it since.

This reeks of total bullshit.

[moonshinegnomie]

11. dont care at all if it was arson

the anti abortion forces want war well......

[mountain grammy]

12. oh yea!

gives Fox something to talk about all week instead of the hearings.

[hadEnuf]

13. Self-inflicted.

n/t

[TeamProg]

16. Right Wing Domestic Terrorism. n/t

[paleotn]

23. Hey, whatever works.

Another one bites the dust.

[JohnnyRingo]

25. If it's "Jane's Revenge" they're gonna get caught.

Resorting to arson is the first mistake, and signing your work is the second.
Arson has its own special rules on investigation.

I hope t was someone else trying to pin it on them.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

27. Some say it was the hell-fire in those Bibles they pass out.....

that started the fire.

Note this one being lit up by a space laser....



This was taken in the White House basement lair during TFG's time.....



Some people are saying......

[jstephenj]

28. I'm calling bullshit on this...

"Jane's Revenge"? It sounds similar to the so-called attack in Wisconsin that said to the effect of "If Roe goes, so do you". The only prochoice vandalism I would believe would be the incidents involving crisis pregnancy center ad signs with the message "Not a real clinic" being blotted over.
