Following the leaked draft decision from the Supreme Court suggesting Roe v. Wade could soon be overturned, pro-abortion activists have become increasingly aggressive as they protest.

In addition to demonstrating in front of the high court justices’ homes, some protesters have taken things a step further and begun to physically attack pro-life organizations at their places of operation.

Lois Anderson, executive director at Oregon Right to Life, and Penny Nance, CEO of Concerned Women for America, both experienced attacks on their organizations.

“We’ve always felt very safe there. It’s a community that’s just right next to our state Capitol, but we’ve been in that building for more than two decades and never even had so much as a protest,” said Anderson. “We’ve been quietly doing our work in that building, and it really was jarring.”

They share their stories about how pro-abortion extremists attacked their facilities.

Doug Blair: My guest today is Lois Anderson, executive director at Oregon Right to Life. Lois, welcome to the show.

Lois Anderson: I’m happy to be here, although it’s not a very good subject, but I’m happy to have the opportunity to speak to you.

Blair: Absolutely. And as much as I wish I could say I was talking to a fellow Oregonian on a good note, that is not the case. So your offices were attacked, seemingly by pro-abortion activists. Can you tell us exactly what happened?

Anderson: Sure. Late in the evening on Mother’s Day, May 8, a person with two, what the police describe as Molotov cocktails, lit them and threw them at the building. That’s what we knew initially. Thankfully, there was a witness who called 911, saw the fire—one of the Molotov cocktails did explode and start a fire. Our fire department responded very, very quickly and extinguished the fire, minimizing the damage.
