Biden Admin. Uses Notorious FACE Act to Target More Pro-Life Protesters

Pro-lifers were accused of violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act during two protests at abortion facilities in Ohio in June 2021, the lawsuit said. The defendants could face tens of thousands of dollars in fines if they are convinced, the Daily Wire reported.

“Obstructing people from accessing reproductive health care and physically obstructing providers from offering it is unlawful. Congress passed the FACE Act 30 years ago this month in response to acts of violence, threats of violence and physical obstruction at reproductive health clinics in our country,” Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division said.

Citizens for a Pro-Life Society, Red Rose Rescue, Laura Gies, Lauren Handy, Clara McDonald, Monica Miller, Christopher Moscinski, Jay Smith and Audrey Whipple were listed as the defendants.
