Federal authorities are investigating a fire that took place at a pregnancy resource center in Gresham, Oregon early Friday morning.

The building was heavily damaged during the fire, according to the Gresham Fire Department KOIN reported. Officials said there were no reported injuries as a result of the fire.

The incident occurred not long after a pro-life Christian pregnancy center in New York was also allegedly the target of an act of arson, according to police.

The CEO of the pro-life Christian pregnancy center in Buffalo, which was “firebombed” allegedly by a left-wing group, slammed Democratic political leaders for staying “eerily silent” and not denouncing the violence.
