Pro-life has its activists, and abortionists have their activists. Since most pro-lifers are probably church goers, it is logical to assume that pro-abortion groups would attack Christian churches and symbols. Such a thing happened recently in Arkansas.
This came from the Christian Post,
A political activist art group hung a 45-foot banner reading “God Bless Abortions” on the 65-foot tall Christ of the Ozarks statue that “stands as a symbol of hope” in northwest Arkansas on Thursday night.
Members of the activist art collective called Indecline disguised themselves as construction workers to sneak onto the property and used pulleys and climbing gear to hang the banner on the Christ of the Ozarks statue in Eureka Springs that was erected in 1966.
A statement from the activist group said they treated the statue like a billboard since it is visible from miles away. Indecline called abortion a “miracle worth celebrating,” saying it “saves lives.”
“In Arkansas, there is only one 65-foot statue of Jesus. There is also only one abortion clinic,” the activist group wrote on Instagram on Friday. “No professional sports teams. Just a bunch of angry men with no outlets, writing outrageous laws about vaginas. That, and the second highest rate (by state) of infant mortality. It’s hard to see how ‘pro-life’ can be so myopic in its vision of what life is.”
Kent Butler, director of operations at The Great Passion Play, the Christian organization that manages the Christ of the Ozarks statue, told The Christian Post that he hopes the political message Indecline tried to portray will instead turn people's attention to Jesus.
“It was all about [Indecline] getting attention to expand their platform, but our pivot really is that it’s about Jesus,” Butler told CP on Saturday. “This whole place exists to lift up Jesus. And at times what was intended for evil, in Genesis 50, it says ‘what was intended for evil God used for good.
I can only pray that "Indecline" does just that... decline.

The left-wing hatred of Christianity is becoming ever more apparent and frightening. See the post at Anglican Mainstream, re-published from The Federalist, about the church-burning terror in Canada.

A Spanish mission church in San Gabriel, CA, was burned, and statues of Fr. Junipero Serra, who brought Christianity to the native tribes all along the California coast, have been vandalized or destroyed.
They hate truth. Violence follows from evil.
I saw the story about churches burning in Canada. It is just a matter of time until people are targeted.
