[[Image:LadiesCenterBombing.jpg|thumb|right|The [[Ladies Center]] following the [[June 25]] bombing.]]
Goldsby and Simmons had already committed an abortion clinic bombing that year, destroying the [[Ladies Center]] with a pipe bomb on [[June 25]], [[1984]]. They had detonated the bomb in the early morning hours, before employees had arrived, so there were no injuries. The damage, estimated at more than $200,000, forced the Ladies Center to relocate to a new office on [[Ninth Avenue]], which opened on [[August 13]]. No arrests were made in the June bombing, which Goldsby and Simmons took as a sign of divine approval and began plotting another bombing of to destroy the Ladies Center, which reopened a [[Ninth Avenue]] 's new location on [[August 13]].
