Weaponizing The Law

I was outraged yesterday as news broke that six more pro-life activists were convicted in Tennessee for violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act. These peaceful protesters are now facing the possibility of crushing fines and 11 years in jail.

That federal law is meant to protect both crisis pregnancy centers and abortion centers. But the radically pro-abortion Biden administration has weaponized the law against peaceful pro-life activists.

Thousands of people were here in Washington, D.C., for the annual March For Life a few weeks ago.  They are wonderful, decent people.  But under this president, they are seen as criminals who must be severely dealt with.

Make no mistake about what is happening: This is an effort to intimidate half the country into not exercising our freedom of speech, freedom of assembly and religious freedom.

Not everyone cares deeply about the life issue. But you should care deeply about what is happening to these pro-life activists.

They are doing what civil rights activists did throughout the South in the 1960s. They were called “sit-ins.” They were non-violent. That’s what these pro-life activists are doing.

In the Tennessee case, these peaceful pro-life activists sat down in a hallway, sang hymns and prayed. And for that, Joe Biden wants to send them to jail and ruin them financially.

When the FACE Act was passed in 1994, one of the main arguments was that some people were attempting to deny others their “constitutional right” to abortion. But the Supreme Court has said what we knew all along – that there is no right to abortion in the Constitution. So, the whole basis for the FACE Act has disappeared.

I believed the law was unconstitutional in 1994, and I am convinced it is unconstitutional now – especially given how the Biden administration is weaponizing the law.

Christians are rotting in jail, and millions more are being intimidated, so they do not dare push back against the left-wing legal regime in America and the tyrants who run it.

Wake up! Or one day soon, we will wake up in a police state.
