A pro-life pregnancy center network is taking matters into its own hands and hiring private investigators to find pro-abortion terrorists who attacked its medical office, claiming that the FBI is “slow-walking” its probe, which has not resulted in any arrests.
CompassCare has partnered with the Thomas More Society (a non-profit law firm fighting religious liberty) to hire private investigators to locate the perpetrators according to its terms and timeline.
“After talking with our investigators so far, they’ve already provided very valuable insight that we didn’t know. And they do have a track record of identifying terrorists both internationally and domestically,” Compass Care CEO Jim Harden told National Review.
Compass Care’s Buffalo location was firebombed and vandalized in June by pro-abortion extremists claiming to be affiliated with the group Jane’s Revenge following the leak of the Supreme Court’s reversal of Roe v. Wade New security costs for the organization were more than $100,000 due to the destruction. After rebuilding for 52 days, the center re-opened its doors to patients. Pregnancy resource centers often provide an alternative to abortion, including free medical and financial support to pregnant and new mothers.
“Security alone at all three of our sites has cost $150,000 this year. In the next budget it will probably cost us an additional $80,000 every year,” Harden told National Review At the time. Harden was even forced to temporarily relocate his family because of doxxing threats made by pro-abortion activist.
After the arson attack against Compass Care in Buffalo, N.Y., Jane’s Revenge claimed responsibility in an online memorandum. It also threatened violence against pro-life clinics.
The FBI announced that it would investigate domestic violence acts against pregnancy-resource centers in the United States over the summer after 124 Republican Members of Congress asked U.S. attorney General Merrick Garland to do so.
Harden has claimed for four months that the FBI delayed an investigation into the violence against 77 clinics in support of abortion nationwide. For example, the agency did not conduct a forensic analysis of CompassCare’s video surveillance footage until July 13th, five weeks after the attack, the center reported.
The FBI advertised a $25,000 reward for information that could lead to the arrests of arsonists, but Compass Care called that “a ruse designed to feign interest in an investigation.” Harden said Compass Care would likely take the FBI reward to offset the expense of hiring the private investigators if they apprehend suspects.
“If the FBI is interested in quelling the nationwide hate crimes against Christian pro-life organizations, they would offer a reward for information leading to the arrests of all 78 attacks, not just for the pro-abortion terrorists who firebombed our facility,” Harden said. “It is a sad day when private citizens are left to do the work of law enforcement.”
