'We will shoot up your Newman Center with our new AR-14 rifles': Jane's Revenge allegedly threatens to kill pro-lifers at Omaha churches



Threatening letters allegedly written by members of the radical pro-abortion group Jane's Revenge were sent to two churches in Omaha, Nebraska, on Saturday, Fox News Digital reported.

On Saturday afternoon, the first note was discovered taped to the St. John Paul II Newman Center near the University of Nebraska-Omaha's Scott Campus. The Catholic-affiliated center serves as a housing facility and community space for UNO students.

"If our right to abortion in Bellevue is taken away due to the attempt to pass an abortion ban and it gets passed we will shoot up your Newman Center with our new AR-14 rifles. Sincerely, Jane's Revenge," the note to the Catholic center allegedly read.

The letter, which was addressed to the Newman Center director, Rev. Dan Andrews, was discovered by Students for Life members. The group's president, Kristan Hawkins, posted a photograph of the threatening note on social media.

Hawkins wrote that the group of pro-life activists was meeting at the center over the weekend to "strategize about how to use @studentsforlife's Campaign for Abortion Free Cities to shut down the late-term abortion facility in the state."

"When we arrived, a death threat via guns from Jane's Revenge was posted on the door," Hawkins explained.

\u201cBREAKING: Jane\u2019s Revenge threatens to shoot pro-lifers. \n\nThis morning in Nebraska, our team arrived for our @SFLAction Poltical Leadership Workshop where we are gathering activists from across the state to strategize about how to use @studentsforlife\u2019s Campaign for \u2026\u201d

The university posted an alert to students noting that UNO Public Safety, the Omaha Police Department, and the Douglas County sheriff's office are working together to investigate the incident and determine the credibility of the threats.

"This obviously causes us great concern," Rev. Dan Andrews told KETV. "Our number-one priority is the safety of our students ... we are thankful for UNO Police's prompt response and attention to this threat."

Lt. Neal Bonacci reported that around 5:15 p.m. on Saturday, another similar letter was sent to the Christ Community Church in Omaha, according to the Star Harald. The note also claimed to be written by Jane's Revenge and threatened violence against the Christian church.

In a message to church members, Christ Community Church stated, "Friends, earlier today, CCC staff found a threatening note taped to an outside door at CCC. The note claims to be from the abortion rights extremist group, Jane's Revenge, and makes threats against our Lead Minister and the church relating to an abortion policy discussion taking place in the City of Bellevue."

According to the Crime Prevention Research Center, between May 3 and September 24, there were 135 attacks on pro-life centers and activists.

In a June letter from Jane's Revenge, the group vowed to go after pro-life organizations following the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.

"From here forward, any anti-choice group who closes their doors, and stops operating will no longer be a target," Jane's Revenge wrote. "But until you do, it's open season, and we know where your operations are."

FDA loosens abortion pill regulations, will permanently allow women to get it by mail



As the Supreme Court is still deciding the fate ofRoe v. Wade, the FDA has turned a page in the culture war surrounding abortion.

The FDA has reversed a previous rule and will now permanently allow women to get mifepristone by mail, according to the New York Times. The case regarding the future of mifepristone (otherwise known as the abortion pill) in America was triggered by the ACLU challenging current rules regarding how and where a woman may receive a medication-induced abortion.

The Biden administration loosened FDA restrictions on mifepristone earlier this year, reversing a Trump-era policy using the COVID-19 as justification for the FDA's decision.

The new policy allows mifepristone to be prescribed by a telemedicine appointment and to be delivered by mail. The FDA made this decision in hopes that allowing patients to receive abortion medication by mail would lower the risk of spreading coronavirus, Forbes reported.

The ACLU's lawsuit argues that the FDA's current Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy places "burdensome restrictions" on medication abortion because "the patient must be handed the medication at a clinic, medical office, or hospital from a health care provider who has pre-registered with the drug manufacturer and arranged to order and stock the abortion pill in their health care facility."

The ACLU's lawsuit has succeeded in its goal of further loosening the FDA's restrictions on mifepristone that would allow women to have a medically induced abortion at home even if the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade, according to Politico.

"I think that makes it much more accessible for people where they don't actually have to physically come into a clinic, they don't have to expose themselves to COVID, they can do this all from the comfort of their home," D.C.-based abortion provider Nisha Verma told NPR when asked about the Biden administration's loosening of FDA restrictions on mifepristone.

Medication abortion is safe and should be easily accessible. I was able to talk with @sarahmccammon at @NPR about the importance of the FDA permanently lifting medically unnecessary regulations on mifepristone.https://twitter.com/NPR/status/1471276922139295755\u00a0\u2026

Pro-life activists have expressed great concern regarding the FDA's loosening of restrictions on medically induced abortions.

"The Left has somehow worked Chemical Abortion Pills into their political scheme for profit & power... and branded it as 'healthcare for women.' WHAT A LIE," Kristan Hawkins, president of Students for Life tweeted Thursday.

Mifepristone is approved, in a regimen with misoprostol, to end a pregnancy through 70 days of gestation, according to current FDA regulations.
