On Tuesday, a guilty verdict was announced for six pro-life activists for violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act at an abortion facility near Nashville, Tenn.
In October 2022, the Biden administration's Department of Justice announced that it was charging 11 individuals involved in the protest with violating the federal FACE Act, which bars individuals from physically blocking the entrance to an abortion facility.
The DOJ's FACE Act prosecutions are the latest in a series of legal actions directed at pro-life activists under the Biden administration, in which at least 24 cases have been prosecuted since January 2021.
At the same time, there have only been four FACE Act indictments of pro-abortion individuals related to a single attack on a pregnancy resource center in Florida, despite the fact that there have been hundreds of attacks that have occurred against churches and pregnancy resource centers during Biden's tenure.
The types of attacks committed against churches have included "Vandalism, arson, bomb threats, gun-related incidents, and interruption of worship services - all of which are punishable under the FACE Act," she emphasized.
In October, Senator Mike Lee and Rep. Chip Roy introduced a bill to repeal the FACE Act, citing the biased enforcement that is being carried out by the Biden administration.
"Yes, these protestors violated the FACE Act, but the Biden administration should consider spending taxpayer dollars to protect America's border - not to stop non-violent men and women who are simply singing hymns while defending the unborn."
