A Catholic pregnancy center in Chicago was vandalized last week just after the Democratic National Convention (DNC) ended, Catholic News Agency (CNA) reported.
Mary FioRito, a spokesperson for the Aid for Women center and a volunteer there for over two decades, told the outlet that four suspects splattered red paint and scrawled the words “fake clinic” and “dead babies are in Gaza” on the entrance of of the building. The vandals also allegedly cemented the center’s doors shut, which forced staff to cancel all appointments on Friday.
FioRito told CNA the incident happened at around 3 a.m. in north Chicago’s Edgewater neighborhood.
