Operation Rescue Since the Supreme Court's decision in Roe v. Wade, the Pro-Life Movement has pursued a multitude of tactics to save mothers and babies from the devastating abortion procedure.
Where civil rights activists peacefully took their seats at businesses that denied service to blacks, refusing to leave until removed by police, pro-life activists in the 1980s began peacefully sitting in at the entrances to abortion clinics, blocking the doors and thereby preventing any abortions from taking place until they were removed by police.
At the same time, these activists shared options and resources with the women arriving for abortion appointments.
In recent years, some pro-lifers determined that it was time for a revival of Rescue despite the risks.
Police eventually arrested the activists, who were then interviewed by an FBI agent.
The Pro-Life Five One of the pro-life activists involved in the 2020 Rescue was Lauren Handy.
All ten activists were indicted on charges of violating the FACE Act and "Conspiracy against rights," a charge that brought the potential penalties from a year in prison to up to eleven years and $350,000 in fines for each activist.
