A partnership of prominent pro-life companies is asking the Republicans in charge of the House Judiciary Committee to pass legislation to repeal the law that the Biden administration used to imprison quiet pro-lifers.
Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, Family Research Council, Students For Life Action, The Thomas More Society, and other organizations are joining Americans Advancing Freedom to demand a complete repeal of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances ( FACE ) Act.
The signees expressed enthusiasm about President Donald Trump’s “decisive action” to forgive lots of pro-life activists who were subjects of the Biden administration’s unfair lawfare, but they also noted that it won’t suffice to stop weaponization from occurring again.
Fortunately, the Trump Administration has taken substantial executive action to stop the FACE Act from being used against either pro-life or pro-abortion campaigners for the majority of his term in addition to pardoning the pro-life captives. We are appreciative of this,” the text declares. Congress may overturn the FACE Act in its entirety to stop any upcoming pro-abortion administrations from using it to sabotage pro-life American.
The email warns pro-lifers that “efforts to safeguard the most susceptible in our society: pregnant individual beings” are susceptible to the same “unjust targeting” that the previous administration displayed, including “early day SWAT team raids, harsh prison sentences, and alleged mistreatment while in custody.”
The FBI and Department of Justice began arresting and incarcerating dozens of law-abiding Americans for peacefully protesting abortion after Congress passed the FACE Act in 1994.
The letter states that “pro-life Americans have been the target of 97 percent of all FACE Act cases since its creation.”
Under the Biden regime, 55 cases of the 60 FACE Act were focused on Americans who prayed, sang, and evangelized at abortion facilities.
The first FACE Act case ever brought against a pro-abortion activist was only after Republicans seized control of the House of Representatives and opened inquiries into the Biden Administration’s political abuses of this unjust law, the letter states.
The legislation that would be necessary to repeal the FACE Act has already been introduced by Republican Rep. Chip Roy of Texas and 25 Republican cosponsors. The pro-life leaders urged the House Judiciary Committee to do all they need to do is put up the bill” as soon as possible and pass it into law.”
