Indiana Right to Life Billboard Vandalized

Indiana Right to Life is condemning the attack of a Fort Wayne billboard

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WOWO): Indiana Right to Life is condemning the vandalizing of one of their billboards in Fort Wayne.

The vandalized billboard was on West Main Street. It depicted a baby holding a coat hanger and edited the message to say the child could do a somersault in a trash before crossing out the link to Indiana Right to Life's website.

“It's upsetting that someone chose to vandalize a simple billboard with a prenatal development fact,” said Mike Fichter, President and CEO of Indiana Right to Life. “Allen County Right to Life has been very effective in spreading the pro-life message, so much so that Allen County no longer has an abortion facility. Unfortunately, pro-life groups are often the target of crude attacks by perpetrators who want nothing to do with the message of hope and love offered by the pro-life community. We stand with Allen County Right to Life and urge them to continue boldly proclaiming the pro-life message in Northeast Indiana.”

The billboard has since been replaced.
