Pro-Abortion Vandals Attack Church Display

9 09 2008

Life News is reporting that pro-abortion vandals have attacked a pro-life display in Sioux Falls, SD, which featured 748 crosses to memorialize the number of babies that were killed in abortions in South Dakota in 2006.

The display in this incident, sponsored by Lutherans for Life of South Dakota, was set up at Blessed Redeemer Lutheran Church on 705 Sioux Blvd. Reports indicated the pro-life display was vandalized sometime on Wednesday evening.

Then, vandals spray-painted the South Dakota State University (SDSU) Newman Center building along with a pro-life sign out front. Vandals sprayed a “female symbol” on the traveling pro-life sign and painted “No Iraq War” on the church exterior.

Father Rutten, director of the SDSU Newman Center, said crosses set up to memorialize the deaths of babies who had died from abortions, were vandalized earlier.

Before that, Leslee Unruh, the head of the group promoting the abortion ban [on the November ballot], said her house has been plastered with eggs and she’s been mailed coat hangers by those who claim women will die from illegal abortions.

Unruh has had threatening calls in the middle of the night, hate mail and her favorite coffee shop told her to stop coming in because of the problems.

It never ceases to amaze (and sadden) me at the lengths that these people go to in their hatred for anyone who threatens their precious choice to kill innocent babies. It’s kind of amusing that they mixed a little anti-war flavor into their “protest”.
