CV NEWS FEED // Abortion activists vandalized a Catholic church in Portland, Oregon, this weekend, writing explicit pro-abortion messages on the church’s entrance doors and sidewalk.
Parishioners discovered the vandalism on April 28 on their way to Sunday Mass at St. Patrick’s Church, according to journalist Andy Ngô.
In Oregon, abortion is legal through all nine months of pregnancy.
The graffiti messages included explicit messages and the slogan “my body my choice.”
This is not the first time that St. Patrick’s Church has been vandalized.
In June 2021, vandals set fire to the grounds of the church and wrote graffiti on the church’s sidewalk. A second vandalism occurred in July 2021, when vandals wrote graffiti on the church’s doors, according to the National Catholic Register.
Ngô noted in his April 28 post that the bleach used to remove the 2021 graffiti from the wooden doors left stains that are visible in the photo that depicts the most recent vandalism.
The April 28 vandalism is the 252nd attack against a Catholic Church in the United States since May 2022, when the draft Supreme Court opinion proposing to reverse Roe v. Wade was leaked, according to CatholicVote’s Violence Tracker.
