Sign in support of abortion rights, stained-glass window vandalized at Second Unitarian Church in East Lakeview
CHICAGO (CBS) -- A sign supporting abortion rights was vandalized this week outside the Second Unitarian Church of Chicago in East Lakeview.
Police said between 6 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, two women threw projectiles toward the church at 656 W. Barry Ave. and broke a stained-glass window and a sign.
The sign outside the church reads, "We support abortion on demand without apology," and the glass in front of it remained broken Thursday night.
In a Facebook post, Second Unitarian Church said it was vandalized because of the message in favor of abortion rights – adding, "We will not be made afraid."
Church representatives sent in a video, capturing the moment two women vandalized the building. The video shows the women approaching the sign and throwing what appears to be rocks at the window.
The church said it is planning a rally a week from Sunday in favor of protecting abortion access.
