A Sad Day

Earlier this week, five pro-life activists were found guilty in federal court of violating the FACE Act after they staged a peaceful sit-in at a notorious Washington, D.C., abortion clinic. 

The court declared their protest a form of “violence” and immediately sent these pro-life activists to prison. They now face possible sentences of 11 years in prison and crushing fines. 

Here’s some irony. The court wasn’t so upset about “violence” during Trump’s 2017 inauguration. It wasn’t so upset about “violence” when rioters threatened the White House in the summer of 2020. 

The violence inside the clinic every day doesn’t seem to bother the court at all. Perversely, the “violence” is godly men and women standing against it, attempting to save innocent lives.

Meanwhile, attacks against 88 pro-life centers across the country have been virtually ignored by the Biden Administration. 

Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) blasted the Department of Justice (DOJ) for its obvious double standards and weaponization of the law against pro-life activists. Cruz said:

“When you compare how aggressively DOJ treats pro-life protesters . . . versus the hands-off approach it takes to those that burn and vandalize churches and pregnancy centers, it’s obvious that [Attorney General Merrick] Garland has thoroughly politicized our federal law enforcement and our system of justice. He should resign.”

The civil rights and human rights issue of our age is ensuring that our preborn children are covered by the protections of our founding documents and our laws. When the civil rights movement of the 1960s, led by Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr., tried to prick the conscience of the American people, it engaged in the same tactics as these pro-life demonstrators. 

For this, the entire political establishment -- from the president down to local Washington, D.C., politicians -- couldn’t wait to smash these pro-life activists.

By the way, this is an example of what awaits Donald Trump in the D.C. court system, and, ultimately, all of us. And it’s already started. (Here and here.)
