The centre in Colorado, Life Choices, sustained fire and heavy smoke damage, authorities said. The front of the building also was defaced with pro-abortion slogans, including the words, “If abortions aren’t safe neither are you,” written in script with black spray paint.

Federal law enforcement had issued a warning that a radical group is “calling for extreme violence” against churches and pro-life pregnancy centres nationwide in response to the Supreme Court’s expected reversal of abortion rights.

An internal document obtained by Newsweek outlines intelligence shared by the Department of Homeland Security with the Catholic Church of a planned “Night of Rage,” targeting churches and pregnancy centers over their opposition to abortion rights.
