House approves resolution to protect pregnancy centers, nearly all Dems oppose
Democrats claim Republicans sent 'dangerous' message by not condemning violence against abortion facilities
By Chris Pandolfo | Fox News
As one of their first votes in the new Congress, House Republicans passed a resolution Wednesday condemning political violence against pro-life crisis pregnancy centers, but nearly all Democrats opposed the measure.
The House voted 222-209 in favor of a resolution introduced by Rep. Mike Johnson, R-La., which "condemns recent attacks of vandalism, violence, and destruction against pro-life facilities" and "recognizes the sanctity of life and the important role of pro-life facilities, groups, and churches play in supporting pregnant women, infants, and families."
The resolution is a response to the wave of political violence targeting pro-life groups and churches that erupted last year after the U.S. Supreme Court's Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade was leaked on May 2. More than 100 crisis pregnancy centers, pro-life organizations and churches were firebombed, smashed, ransacked, or vandalized with pro-abortion graffiti and threatening messages.
Fox News Digital previously reported that while more than a dozen attacks have been claimed by the left-wing pro-abortion group Jane’s Revenge, not a single member of the underground group has been arrested.
