A dozen pregnancy centers across the country were torched. More were vandalized. The attacks came after prominent Democrat politicians called for the facilities to be shut down.
Many of the pregnancy centers are run by churches or Christian organizations. They provide pregnancy screenings for women, ultrasounds, neonatal pregnancy care, diapers, and more to support pregnant moms. They do not, however, provide abortions, and many counsel against abortion.
They are, therefore, the enemy of the left. These centers have been subject to harassment, protest, condemnation, and now firebombings. The centers exist as a rejection of the left’s idea that the right only cares about babies in utero. In fact, many mothers develop relationships with these facilities, and the facilities continue to support new moms after birth.
Because they are not abortion facilities, progressives have vandalized and set fire to many of them around the country. There does not appear to be an active federal investigation into the attacks.
Meanwhile, a dozen pro-life activists have had their doors kicked in by the FBI in dawn raids. Those activists have been held at gunpoint, dragged from their homes in front of their families, and arrested for violating a federal law that makes it a crime to obstruct access to an abortion clinic.
More than one of these people were previously investigated by authorities, and no charges were brought because they did not actually obstruct access. They just protested at the clinics. Even now, the Washington Post is attempting to stir up opposition to Catholic hospitals for their refusal to perform abortions.
I don’t know that the left and, specifically, the Biden Administration understands just how radicalizing this is for people on the right. To see the Justice Department ignore arson attacks on Christian run facilities while seeing pro-life activists dragged from their homes at gunpoint is going to push people on the right further toward radicalizing their political worldview.
Joe Biden wanted to calm things down, lower the temperature, and return the nation to normal. Instead, he is stirring the pot, raising the temperature, and setting dangerous new precedents about selective and politicized justice.
The Democrats will come to regret this.
Democrats, on several occasions in the past decade, stormed state capitols to block and obstruct lawful legislative action they did not like. They stand amazed and appalled that Trump supporters stormed the United States Capitol to obstruct and block Congress. They claim the latter is different than the former.
The latter is an escalation of the former. You’re going to see the same with this level of politicization of the Justice Department. That does not make it right. But don’t be surprised when it happens, and don’t be surprised when many people on the right turn a blind eye towards it. You on the left are radicalizing the right. You will regret it — we all will regret it. But it will happen thanks to the Biden Administration’s hard left turn.
This will end badly for all of us.
I cannot grasp the concept of any group protesting or destroying a center that exists to help pregnant woman. To me, this is the definition of satanic behavior. The people who do this are evil. They deserve to be treated as evil beings. I would favor the police using deadly force against these people.

Erick, it is unclear our current POTUS has any idea what is happening around him, let alone what is happening around the country. His inability to remain coherent even when delivering carefully-prepared speeches is a clear indication he is not in his full mental faculties.
We are dealing with a radical Administration and Dem party utilizing a feeble figure head to accomplish their agenda. The real answer to your title question is "no, those actually running the show care only to force their agenda while they retain power". Election 2022 may be able to curtail some of the madness, but we'll still have a confused and inept POTUS with an EO pen and staff willing to push the agenda forward.
Come quickly Lord Jesus.
