Sen. Rubio calls for Justice Dept. to investigate abortion group for violent rhetoric

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) wrote to Attorney General Merrick Garland on Wednesday to investigate Jane’s Revenge, a left-wing extremist group that has targeted pro-life organizations and pregnancy centers.

The letter comes after the group, who has claimed responsibility for a number of recent arson attacks vandalism, declared in an email dated June 14 that it was “open season” on “anti-choice” groups, which was shared by Abolition Media.

“Alarmingly, in the group’s most recent public statement, Jane’s Revenge has now doubled-down on its commitment to violence, threats and intimidation, writing that the ‘leash is off’ and it is now ‘open season’ on any pro-life group that refuses to close their doors,” Rubio began his letter.

Jane’s Revenge claimed a 30-day deadline for pro-life groups to cease operations had passed “with no signed of consilience or even bare-minimum self-reflection from you.”

"History may not repeat itself, but it certainly rhymes, and we’ve already seen such stanzas where medical autonomy is stripped away, humanity is increasingly criminalized, and merely surviving becomes largely untenable,” the group wrote ominously.

Rubio lamented that nothing had been done since his June 10 letter to Garland, which highlighted “radical pro-abortion groups, like Jane’s revenge, that have relentlessly targeted pro-life centers, groups and churches.”

“Despite the damage that has already been done and even though these groups have kept their promise to raise the violent stakes, the DOJ has not been faithful to its promise of ensuring the public’s safety against these violent, radical activists,” Rubio wrote.

“To date, there has not been a single charge brought against any individual or group despite the countless pro-life centers in America that have been firebombed and vandalized in recent months.”

In its email, Jane’s Revenge claimed responsibility for vandalism in “Madison WI, Ft. Collins CO, Reisertown MA, Olympia WA, Des Moines IA, Lynwood WA, Washington DC, Ashville NC, Buffalo NY, Hollywood FL, Vancouver WA, Frederick MA, Denton TX, Gresham OR, Eugene OR, Portland OR,” among others.

“You’ve read the communiqués from the various cells, you’ve seen the proliferating messages in graffiti and elsewhere, and you know that we are serious,” they declared.

The White House condemned the group’s threat on Wednesday.

 “Violence and destruction of property have no place in our country under any circumstances, and the President denounces this, White House Assistant Press Secretary Alexandra LaManna told the Daily Wire.

“We should all agree that actions like this are completely unacceptable regardless of our politics.”
