St. Joseph County Right to Life made the discovery on Wednesday, Sep. 18.

The vandalism comes just a few days after more than 22-hundred fetal remains were found in the Illinois home of the late Dr. Ulrich Klopfer, who used to perform abortions in South Bend.

“In response to fetal remains found, we have been receiving messages all week from women who regret their abortion,” Right to Life Executive Director Jackie Appleman said. “These women express that they were pressured or in some cases forced to have an abortion. Others say they were completely alone in their decision and not given any support or other options. The messages on our benches provide these options, yet people are destroying them in an apparent effort to prevent women from knowing their options. There’s nothing pro-choice or pro-woman about these actions.”

St. Joseph County Right to Life is working with the bench advertising company to file a police report regarding the incident.
