The Anchorage Police Department has received a report of vandalism along the public sidewalk outside the Planned Parenthood abortion clinic on Lake Otis Parkway, where someone spray painted, “Run Over Protestors.”
The abortion clinic, which is Alaska’s largest, is the site of regular prayer vigils and peaceful protests, where pro-life advocates gather to affirm the dignity of unborn life, and encourage women to seek life-affirming alternatives for their pre-born babies.
According to an Anchorage Police Department spokesperson, the vandalism was reported on June 6, and an investigation will begin June 7. The Watchman received a photo of the graffiti that was taken on June 3.

Twice a year, during the annual fall and spring 40 Days for Life vigils, hundreds of pro-life advocates gather to pray, hold signs and affirm the dignity of unborn babies outside the Anchorage Planned Parenthood abortion center. Throughout the year, pro-life sidewalk counselors also gather at the same location to speak with pregnant women in an effort to provide them with pro-life alternatives.
The most recent 40 Days For Life vigil occurred in Anchorage from February 14 to March 24.
This is a developing story.

Thanks Joel for great reporting keeping us informed.
This is no joke.
The same words were sprayed in the same place during the fall 40 Days for Life campaign. In fact, I was rushed by a man in a car as I walked through the crosswalk towards the clinic with my Pray to End Abortion sign a few months ago. I had to hustle to cross without being hit, and a women sitting in her vehicle at the light threw her head back in laughter.
There’s got to be a security camera somewhere that caught video of the vandalism.
People need to be watching out for each other OR have a volunteer or two that will running security and have cameras on hand. The evil wants to make everyone so afraid that they will not participate. We need to counteract that with more people (and cameras) helping out!
Spay paint over it with “save the babies” and i bet the security camera footage will show up quickly…along with Biden’s injustice department.
It’s just going to get worse with this newly elected mayor. Get out while you can people.
What is an abortion? Plan and simple it’s killing a human baby,
Grafitti artists LOVE free pub!
Joel, it’s interesting that admin has to approve my responses before they are posted, so how is it that trolls can invade this space to post unrelated spam?
That is a good question.
Run over grafitti artists.
If this graffiti said, “Run over the abortionists”, the legislature would likely pass a resolution, on a 59-1 vote, demanding a full police and FBI investigation.
Likely not a Alaska public school grad. It was spelled correctly .
Two comments disappeared.
bugger off you incredibly stupid, nasty scammer.
Not surprising since it comes from a culture of death.
