Pro-Life Activists Seek Pardons from Trump

Following President Joe Biden's administration, 21 pro-life activists prosecuted under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act are seeking pardons from President-elect Donald Trump. The Thomas More Society, representing these individuals, argues they were unjustly imprisoned and are requesting full and unconditional pardons. Many activists, including grandparents and a Holocaust survivor, were charged for peaceful protests and civil disobedience at abortion clinics. The Biden administration's DOJ has been criticized for focusing on prosecuting anti-abortion activists while largely ignoring violence against pro-life centers. Trump has promised to review and potentially pardon these individuals, described as 'selfless, sincere patriots', aligning with his campaign commitment to address the 'weaponization' of Biden's DOJ against pro-life advocates.
