Sioux Falls, SD (LifeNews.com) -- A pro-life display in South Dakota featuring crosses to memorialize the deaths of babies from abortions has been vandalized by abortion advocates. The vandalism is a reminder of the rash of attacks on signs and displays during the battle over the abortion ban in 2006.
With a second attempt to ban abortions on the November ballot, South Dakota could see more attacks on pro-life activities.

The display in this incident, sponsored by Lutherans for Life of South Dakota, was set up at Blessed Redeemer Lutheran Church on 705 Sioux Blvd. Reports indicated the pro-life display was vandalized sometime on Wednesday evening.
The memorial features 748 crosses, which represent the number of abortions done in South Dakota in 2006.
“Apparently, some people are threatened by the message of this,” Pastor Dan Deardoff told the Argus Leader newspaper. “My door is always open, and I just wish people would come and talk to us if they have differences.”
The paper indicated the Brandon Police Department has the vandalism under investigation.
"If anybody has any knowledge, they should contact us directly or contact Crime Stoppers if they wish to remain anonymous,” Chief Dave Kull told the newspaper.

Then, vandals spray-painted the South Dakota State University (SDSU) Newman Center building along with a pro-life sign out front. Vandals sprayed a "female symbol" on the traveling pro-life sign and painted “No Iraq War” on the church exterior. Father Rutten, director of the SDSU Newman Center, said crosses set up to memorialize the deaths of babies who had died from abortions, were vandalized earlier.

Before that, Leslee Unruh, the head of the group promoting the abortion ban, said her house has been plastered with eggs and she's been mailed coat hangers by those who claim women will die from illegal abortions.Unruh has had threatening calls in the middle of the night, hate mail and her favorite coffee shop told her to stop coming in because of the problems.

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- Joe Biden repeatedly made the claim in a Sunday interview on the NBC political show "Meet the Press" that he opposes taxpayer funding of abortions. However, a look at his voting record over the years reveals numerous instances where Barack Obama's pro-abortion running mate did exactly that.
"I don't support public, public funding. I don't, because that flips the burden. That's then telling me I have to accept a different view," he said on the program.
As recently as February, Biden voted against an amendment that would permanently prevent abortion funding at Indian health care service facilities. The amendment from Sen. David Vitter would codify a longstanding policy against funding of abortions with federal Indian Health Service (IHS) funds.The language of the Vitter amendment follows the Hyde amendment, which prohibits direct funding of abortion under Medicaid except in very rare cases when the mother is a victim of rape or incest or when the pregnancy threatens her life.
The Senate voted 52 to 42 for the Vitter amendment and several Democrats joined Republicans in passing it, though Biden was not one of them.
In April 2005, Biden voted against the Mexico City Policy, which President Bush instituted to prohibit taxpayer funding of groups that promote or perform abortions overseas. He also voted for international abortion funding in July 2003.
In a May 2003 vote, Biden also voted for a pro-abortion amendment to repeal the law that prohibits performance of abortions of military base hospitals, all of which are taxpayer-funded.
The Senate defeated the amendment by just three votes and the margin would have been larger had Biden voted against it.
Biden voted for taxpayer-funded abortions at military base medical centers in June 2002 along with votes in May 1999 and June 2000.
In fact, according to voting records from the National Right to Life Committee, Biden hasn't voted against taxpayer funding of abortions since a July 1999 vote prohibiting the funding of abortions in the health plans of federal employees.
