Pregnancy Center Burned: Domestic Abortion-Rights Terrorists Suspected?

December 31, 2009 / 12:11 pm • By Dr. Melissa Clouthier

A pregnancy assistance center was attacked:

Whiteriver, AZ (LifeNews.com) — A pregnancy center in rural eastern Arizona that serves a predominantly native American population was severely burned in what appears to be an arson attack. The Living Hope Women’s Center clinic has closed indefinitely as a result of a fire that gutted a portion of the building on December 20.

And this will adversely affect the community:

The center president told the newspaper that ATF officials asked her if the pregnancy center was involved in anything controversial that might have sparked a hate crime.

“The agent very gingerly asked if we were involved in ‘anything controversial’ in our ministry,” she said. “You can imagine what they hear about Crisis Pregnancy Centers, abortion clinic bombings and the like. I assured him that even though we are a CPC ), our work was mostly pre-natal and parenting and that the culture in Whiteriver is very pro-life.”

She told the newspaper the apparent arson will set the pregnancy center back quite a bit financially and logistically.

“When we think of everything we had in there it is a bit overwhelming. We had just gotten two new computers, a new ultrasound machine, a very large screen TV and of course our beautiful, huge Mommy Store. But these are things that can be replaced. One greater challenge will be where do we go from here?” Monahan asked.

She is concerned because the availability of buildings in Whiteriver is very scarce.

Monahan indicated the Whiteriver pregnancy center had 400-600 visits every month from the low-income people who live in the community.

“As our staff stood outside the building, clients would come and cry as they looked at the devastation,” she said. “This ministry is so loved by so many there. We are looking at our options, one which is to lease a large lot and build or place a modular on it. Whatever we do, build, remodel or use a modular, we feel strongly that the people of Whiteriver are the ones who should do it.”

Well, the crime, since it was on a reservation, is a federal crime. It will be interesting to find out who committed this attack.

    The ATF agent asked if this center was involved in anything “controversial” that could have sparked a hate crime.

    Oh, yes, they were involved in some very controversial things. They were saving the lives of Native babies. That’s very controversial for the genocidal creeps in our society.

    Then there are the people who want as many abortions as possible, regardless of whether ethnic issues are involved. If only there was an abortion clinic in the community and women were cut off from any support during their pregnancies, they might be persuaded to have abortions that they really don’t want. Convince them they don’t have any choice but to abort. This could bring a lot of money into an abortion business. But the CPCs are a competition for business. They pull customers away from abortion clinics, resulting in decreased sales and decreased profits for the abortion industry. Make no mistake about it, this is the REAL reason that the abortion industry doesn’t like the CPCs and want to shut them down. The abortion industry claims they are for choice. But they don’t tell you that they’re only for choice if you don’t choose childbirth. Some choice.

    Giving women a real choice on the abortion issue is not acceptable to hard core pro-aborts. Add an ethnic issue in there, and you’ve got a hate crime through and through. Not to mention an economic crime.

    Let me say upfront that I know a wee bit about CPCs having run for 25 years the EMC Frontline Pregnancy Centers
    in New York City, America’s Abortion Capital and I
    Had the distinct privilege of touring the robbed and firebombed pregnancy resource center in August of 2009.

    I met with the terrific native American staff both male and female and heard of their clients and the many challenges with crime, drugs, promiscuity
    And despair similar to the inner city problems of NY.

    A suspect was tackled and held and arrested, and whatever his motivation for the attack I am confident that the very strong love of these locals on their reservation for the dignity of the human person and their love for moms and kids will see a quick

    Will see a quickrebuildingofa new bigger and better facility.

    I have suugested a modular building expert to guide Dinah and her staff, and they will find the way with the local ingenuity of the fine native peoplewith huge heartsand souls to keep serving their people with real love, and real practical aid and assistance.

    Please pray a lot for these folks as they rebuild, andthat jutice and mercy beserved on their attackers, too.
