Washington, D.C. – In response to this week’s verdict of six Tennessee pro-life advocates being charged with Federal Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act violations for blocking the entrance to an abortion center, SBA Pro-Life America issued the following statement:
“President Biden promised the American people that he would be a president for everyone…and now proves that was all a lie. The Biden-Harris administration have weaponized the Department of Justice, under the FACE Act, to criminalize and incarcerate pro-life Americans. Even despite the FBI Director, Christopher Wray, confirming that 70% of abortion-related violence targets pro-lifers, the Biden Administration has used the full force of the federal government to unfairly criminalize in one direction – against peaceful pro-life Americans. These advocates now face up to more than a decade in federal prison,” said Emily Erin Davis VP of Communications for SBA Pro-Life America. “Biden’s DOJ chokes their political enemies all while turning a blind eye to activists nationwide that assault pregnancy resource centers and other life-affirming organizations.”
Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America is a network of more than one million pro-life Americans nationwide, dedicated to ending abortion by electing national leaders and advocating for laws that save lives, with a special calling to promote pro-life women leaders.
