Crime Against Pro-Life Centers ‘Will Become Routine’ Without Prosecution: Fmr. Counterintelligence Expert
by Ben Johnson, Washington Stand:
Attacks on pro-life churches and pregnancy resource centers could become a daily occurrence if liberal district attorneys and a complacent Justice Department refuse to prosecute the perpetrators, according to a former FBI counterterrorism and intelligence expert.
The Religious Freedom Institute hired the former intelligence expert to analyze the dozens of anti-life crimes that followed the May 2 leak of the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision, and the prospects for future attacks. Although the Justice Department stated that it had launched a federal investigation in June, not a single arrest has been announced to date — something that will inspire further violence, he warns.
Low-threat crimes — like breaking windows and defacing the exterior of pro-life women’s centers with graffiti — “will become routine, occurring as often as one to three times per day, so long as the environment remains permissive,” according to a Religious Freedom Institute (RFI) report of his conclusions. More serious crimes — including scuffles that do not harm parishioners and property damage that cannot be fixed in less than a year — “will likely occur frequently for the rest of 2022, perhaps as often as one to three times per month, unless aggressive prevention measures change the environment.”
The most serious crimes — like armed attacks, arson with church members inside, and vehicular assault — will “occur one to three times in the remaining months of 2022 and perhaps beyond.”
