Here is a roundup of recent pro-life and abortion-related news.
The Biden administration “weaponized” federal law against pro-lifers, according to a more than 800-page report issued by the U.S. Department of Justice.
The April 14 report details how the Justice Department under Biden weaponized the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act, including collaboration with pro-abortion groups to target pro-life advocates.
The report said the Justice Department “affirmatively asked pro-abortion groups about pro-life individuals’ travel and constitutionally protected advocacy,” the Justice Departmentʼs press release on the report indicated.
“The Biden DOJ and career attorneys monitored pro-life activists for years before charging them,” the press release stated.
The Justice Department also said: “Prosecutors knowingly withheld evidence that defense counsel requested to prepare an affirmative defense, tried to screen out jurors based on religion, and authorized aggressive arrest tactics instead of allowing pro-life defendants to self-surrender.”
The Biden administration also “helped a pro-abortion group secure funding” and “pursued significantly harsher sentences for pro-life defendants than violent pro-abortion defendants,” according to the department.
“No department should conduct selective prosecution based on beliefs,” Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said in a statement.
