In 2023, Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody took action against pro-abortion activists Caleb Freestone, Amber Marie Smith-Stewart, Annarella Rivera, and Gabriella Victoria Oropesa, who vandalized a pregnancy center.
According to an article by Life News, the activists spray-painted the following message on the pregnancy center's buildings: “If abortions aren’t safe, neither are you.”
The vandals are affiliated with a group called “Jane’s Revenge,” which has “claimed responsibility for acts of vandalism and firebombings of anti-abortion offices and clinics,” according to the Counter Extremism Project.

According to the Florida Attorney General's Office, prosecutors were able to get a settlement that stated, “The defendants will also be permanently banned from being within 100 feet of crisis pregnancy centers and will be ordered to pay restitution… One defendant (Oropesa) will be ordered to pay a $10,000 civil penalty. The defendants who plead guilty face up to 10 years in prison”.
“In Florida, illegal actions have consequences, and I am proud of the work our attorneys did in this case to make sure these extremists were held accountable," Moody said.
This outcome is a significant win for the pro-life movement, as it demonstrates that such extremist actions are met with tangible legal consequences, which has not always been the case in the past.
