(Family Research Council) As the list of vandalized churches and pro-life organizations continues to grow due to pro-abortion extremist attacks in the wake of the leaked Dobbs Supreme Court decision, the silence from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) is becoming increasingly deafening.

..."[W]hat Americans expect ... out of a Department of Justice is that it's really supposed to be the place we go to that's not biased," he said. "There's equal application of the law. We remember all the statues and paintings of 'Justice' having the blindfold and the scales that we're trying to hold. ... [T]hat's the essence of what it means to live under the rule of law. And we're seeing that perverted in a very real way in our country right now and with this government. ... [T]he American people are beginning to realize that there's two sets of justice in our country right now."

Even so, wherever there is persecution, there is also great opportunity. As FRC President Tony Perkins observed, pastors like Father Peter Harris of Holy Rosary Catholic Church in Houston, Texas are only being emboldened in the face of attacks. "This won't stop us; it propels us to continue to be witnesses for Christ in the world," Father Harris said. Perkins echoed his sentiments. "I think that is how we have to say, '[L]ook, if they want to target us for our believing that every human being is sacred because they're created in the image of God, then all right, so be it. But we're not going to go away. We're not going to go silent."
