From January 6 contributors to corrupt Biden community members, political pardons have been a big issue this week, and Donald Trump only gave us 23 more to talk about. Â

On Thursday afternoon, Trump issued pardons for pro-life activists who were prosecuted by the Joe Biden administration under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances ( FACE ) Act, which was signed into law in 1994 by former President Bill Clinton. The law officially criminalizes obstructing access to abortion facilities. This is yet another campaign road claim that the leader has fulfilled in less than a week in business. ( How pleasant is it to have someone in office who does what he says he’s going to do? )
” Twenty-three people were prosecuted who should not have been prosecuted. Many of them are older individuals. They should not have been prosecuted. This is a great respect to mark this,” the president said as he issued the clemency from his office in the Oval Office. Â

This is a time to turn the site. More than that, this is the time to right a bad. President Trump may change the chapter on this black time of our history. He was right the wrongs that this last management perpetrated. He may begin to reestablish the requirements that the morality of our nation puts in front of us. Mr. President, he is, once, maintain the responsibility that is found right there in our Constitution. That commitment to recognize liberty of conscience, to recognize the right to adopt God, to live out our faith peacefully — which is precisely what these pro-life’prisoners,’ also prisoners, were doing. And so I urge him, I urge President Trump now from this ground to forgive these Americans unfairly persecuted, unjustly prosecuted, wrongfully condemned. I urge him to forgive them and to provide once again the spiritual clarity and spiritual authority for which this nation is known. And to provide that spiritual clarity and spiritual authority without which we cannot wish to lead the free world.
President Trump is reversing the injustices of the frightening Biden DOJ, which shielded drug nobles and granted clemency to killings while torturing and imprisoning quiet pro-life protest.
Thank you @RealDonaldTrump for reinstalling our country ’s values. @SenHawleyPress photograph. tweets. com/zHM6fsAMgI

The clemency come on the day of the annual March for Life event on the National Mall, which will take place on Friday, January 24. Trump is expected to address the crowd via picture, while Vice President JD Vance may attend in person and give a talk. Â
” President Trump governed as a pro-life leader during his first term, which resulted in a long list of accomplishments. We look forward to working with him and Vice President Vance as they dismantle the Biden Administration’s violent and unhappy pregnancy plan and once again set wins on the table for vulnerable newborn children and their mothers,” March for Life leaders Jeanne Mancini and Jennie Bradley said in a statement.
