Pro-life school bus firebombed in Rockford, local media ignore the incident

A school bus covered in pro-life images that used to drive children to a local abortion clinic to pray was firebombed Friday, June 15, report local advocates, who say the media have been negligent in covering the incident.

The bus, owned by Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Academy, suffered extensive damage after vandals threw more than one device through the vehicle’s windows. Photos show some of the seats reduced to little more than metal frame and ash. The driver’s area was also bombed, and appears to be unusable.

The bus is well known in the area for the images on its windows, which include several Catholic images, as well as pictures of unborn children.

Local leader Kevin Rilott told LifeSiteNews.com via telephone June 18 that the pro-life community was “pretty upset” about the destruction. Rilott used to regularly protest at the notoriously anti-Christian Northern Illinois Women’s Center (NIWC) abortion mill in Rockford, famous for the mocking and blasphemous messages in its windows, which closed permanently this year following an investigation by health officials.

“We thought we’d be past all this, but apparently not,” he said.
