A pro-life women’s medical clinic in California has spent $150,000 to boost its security in the face of overwhelming violence following the Supreme Court’s abortion decision overturning Roe v. Wade, according to the facility’s executive director.

“Pregnancy care centers from coast to coast are being targeted for violent assaults of vandalism, and hateful attacks online and in the media,” Heidi Matzke, executive director of the Alternatives Pregnancy Center in Sacramento, California, told a Senate hearing on July 12.
