First on Fox: Senator Josh Hawley unveiled legislation on Thursday to protect pregnancy resource centers and houses of worship after a spate of attacks from left-wing protesters in the wake of the Supreme Court's abortion decision. 

Hawley, a first-term Republican from Missouri, said the harassment witnessed in recent weeks was a call to action by lawmakers in Congress.

"The Biden Administration has turned a blind eye while radical leftists attack pregnancy care centers and houses of worship," said the senator. "And now left-wing politicians are trying to shut them down." 

Progressive activists have increasingly targeted churches and pro-life organizations, including pregnancy resource centers, for harassment and violence since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. The landmark decision declared that abortion is not a right protected by the U.S. Constitution, essentially throwing the issue back to state elected officials. 

Even before the Supreme Court issued its ruling, abortion activists began targeting churches and other pro-life organizations with intimidating threats and harassment. In many cases, the incidents have turned violent leading to property destruction, physical altercations, and even arson.
