Faith leaders decry vandalism at Lake View church supporting abortion rights

As two women slinked away last month after chucking rocks at a Lake View church touting a pro-choice sign, one of them was caught on video saying the move "sends a message."

"The only message I'm hearing is that we need to be louder," said Rev. Jason Lydon, the minister of the Second Unitarian Church of Chicago, where faith leaders and dozens of protesters gathered Sunday to condemn the Aug. 23 incident.

"We're doing this to say that we will not be silenced by people who try to intimidate us," Lydon told the Sun-Times.

"This is part of an overall culture of incitement and violence that is going on in our country with impunity, and with the incitement of our so-called leaders," Rabbi Brant Rosen said at a rally outside the Second Unitarian Church on Sunday.
