A fire which occurred at a Christian pregnancy clinic in Colorado is being treated as arson after chilling messages were spray painted onto the walls and ground outside.
'If abortions aren't safe, neither are you,' read one. 'Bans off our bodies' said another by the entrance at the Life Choices clinic in Longmont, northeast of Boulder.
The fire broke out in the middle of the night at 3:17am on Saturday morning. Authorities believe the fire was set deliberately. No abortions are carried out at the center which aims to educate women on pregnancy
Photographs also show the front of the property daubed with graffiti and black paint. A number of phrases could be seen having been spray painted onto the walls and concrete in the entranceway outside the building.
The building sustained fire and heavy smoke damage according to Longmont Public Safety officials.
Investigators are urging residents in the are to check their own surveillance videos in the hope of tracking down those responsible reports KDVR.
