I had to read this twice. The Department of Justice finally charged people who attacked and defaced a pregnancy center!
A federal grand jury indicted Caleb Freestone, 27, and Amber Smith-Stewart, 23, for allegedly vandalizing and threatening a Florida pregnancy center.
From the DOJ press release:
The indictment, returned by a federal grand jury in the Middle District of Florida, alleges that Caleb Freestone, 27, and Amber Smith-Stewart, 23, engaged in a conspiracy to prevent employees of reproductive health services facilities from providing those services. According to the indictment, as part of the conspiracy, the defendants targeted pregnancy resource facilities and vandalized those facilities with spray-painted threats. According to the indictment, Freestone and Smith-Stewart, and other co-conspirators, are alleged to have spray painted threats, including “If abortions aren’t safe than niether [sic] are you,” “YOUR TIME IS UP!!,” “WE’RE COMING for U,” and “We are everywhere,” on a reproductive health services facility in Winter Haven, Florida. The indictment further alleges that facilities in Hollywood, Florida, and Hialeah, Florida, were also targeted.The indictment also alleges that Freestone and Smith-Stewart violated the FACE Act by using threats of force to intimidate and interfere with the employees of a reproductive health services facility in Winter Haven because those employees were providing or seeking to provide reproductive health services. The indictment further alleges that Freestone and Smith-Stewart violated the FACE Act by intentionally damaging and destroying the facility’s property because the facility provides reproductive health services.
The first attack occurred “on or about May 28, 2022,” in Hollywood, FL. Catholic News Agency reported the vandals hit the South Broward Pregnancy Help Center, which the Archdiocese of Miami runs.
The Winter Haven facility attack occurred “on or about June 26, 2022.” Thugs defaced The Life Choice Pregnancy Center in Winter Haven, FL, which “provides no-cost resources, including pregnancy tests, ultrasounds and parenting classes to patients with unplanned pregnancies.”
The last one happened “on or about July 3, 2022” in Hialeah, FL. NBC Miami reported the thugs targeted the Pregnancy Help Medical Center.
Freestone and Smith-Stewart face “12 years in prison, three years of supervised release and fines up to $350,000.”
Antifa Watch linked a Facebook page supposedly linked to Smith-Stewart. It’s littered with Antifa graffiti.
Unfortunately, these attacks are only a few that have happened since the Dobbs decision. Radicalists have attacked at least 78 pregnancy centers across the U.S. and hundreds of Catholic churches.
