Ohio Planned Parenthood Vandalized With Graffiti Calling It a 'Satan Den of Babykillers'
LatestA Planned Parenthood in Columbus, Ohio, was vandalized Sunday night, with red paint splashed on the door and graffiti calling the facility a “Satan den of babykillers.” It also featured a Bible verse suggesting its employees deserve to be cast into the sea with millstones around their necks.
The East Columbus Surgical Center provides both family planning and abortion services. In a report from the Columbus Dispatch, which we saw via the Friendly Atheist, employees at the facility said the vandalism happened sometime overnight Sunday. Friendly Atheist has photos of the front door, which is awash in dripping red paint that’s clearly meant to look like blood. The side of the facility was vandalized to read “SATAN DEN OF BABYKILLERS GOD SEE ALLLL Mark 9:42.”
The Dispatch story incorrectly says the verse quote was Mark 9:14; it’s pretty clearly 9:42, as the Friendly Atheist says, which reads as follows:
And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.
The center is protested daily by anti-abortion groups, who told the Dispatch as well as NBC that they’re not responsible for the vandalism. Protester David Daubenmire told NBC, “We’re more concerned about the red blood that’s inside the building than the red paint that is on the outside of it. To us, it is just a distraction of what’s really going on inside that place.”
