Anger flares as Biden DOJ targets additional pro-life protesters, potentially sentencing them to ten years in prison
Anger Erupts Online as Biden DOJ Prosecutes Pro-Life Protesters
Outrage spread like wildfire on Tuesday as the Biden Department of Justice successfully prosecuted six pro-life protesters, who now face over a decade in prison and hefty fines. The decision has sparked a heated debate about the apparently biased application of federal laws.
Following a peaceful protest in 2021, these activists were found guilty in a Tennessee courtroom of conspiracy against rights secured by the FACE Act and committing FACE Act violations. The FACE Act, a Clinton-era law, criminalizes the use of force or threats of force that prevent someone from accessing an abortion clinic.
Conservative strategist Greg Price took to Twitter to express his disbelief, highlighting the stark contrast between the treatment of pro-life activists and those who protest outside the homes of Supreme Court justices, which is a federal crime. He emphasized the politically biased application of federal laws.
A grand total of zero people have ever been arrested for protesting outside the houses of Supreme Court justices after Roe was overturned, which is a federal crime.
But peaceful pro-lifers now face 11 years in jail for praying outside an abortion clinic. https://t.co/Ev2LNPC4mF

Daily Wire podcast host and author Matt Walsh condemned the DOJ’s actions, calling it “full-on Soviet-style corruption and persecution.” He criticized the US attorney for arguing in court that there is no such thing as a non-violent crime, while the Biden Administration releases criminals on the basis of their crimes being non-violent. Walsh accused the administration of arbitrary legal arguments based on political motivations.
This is incredible. The US attorney prosecuting the pro-life activists who were just convicted and face 11 years in prison for peacefully protesting outside of a clinic actually argued in court that there is no such thing as a non-violent crime. Meanwhile the Biden Administration… pic.twitter.com/fY4jtmalhJ

Public outrage continued to grow, with many expressing their frustration with the Biden administration’s actions. One popular TikTok account, Libs of TikTok, called the regime “evil and corrupt to the core” for imprisoning pro-lifers who were peacefully praying and singing outside abortion clinics. They also highlighted the leniency shown towards BLM and Antifa protesters and the rise in crime in Democrat-run cities.
The Biden regime is evil and corrupt to the core. They’re jailing pro-lifers for praying and singing.
Meanwhile most BLM & Antifa protesters had their charges dropped, Democrats staged multiple insurrections – taking over state Capitols, and Democrat run cities are riddled with… https://t.co/lewd1fz70w

Senator Mike Lee raised concerns about the biased enforcement of the FACE Act, suggesting that it is being used to punish pro-life protesters while ignoring their pro-abortion counterparts. He questioned the fairness and appropriateness of the law and criticized the Biden administration for prioritizing harmless actions over violent acts.
10. Bottom line: the Biden administration incarcerates people for praying at abortion clinics while ignoring violent acts at churches and pregnancy centers. So many camels. So much obsessive attention paid to harmless things mistaken for gnats.

The Biden DOJ has faced increasing criticism for its aggressive prosecution of pro-life protesters. One notable case involved the arrest and home raid of Catholic pro-life father Mark Houck, who was later acquitted. The family is now suing the DOJ for millions of dollars. Another instance saw the conviction of five pro-life activists, who are currently awaiting sentencing and face years in prison and hefty fines.
Representative Chip Roy questioned Attorney General Merrick Garland about the biased enforcement of the FACE Act, pointing out that it has been used against pro-lifers 126 times compared to only four times against anti-life protestors. The law is meant to protect pro-life pregnancy centers as well.
President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have also been vocal about their pro-abortion stance. Biden has tweeted multiple times about abortion and the overturning of Roe v. Wade, while Harris is currently on an abortion tour called the “Fight for Reproductive Freedoms” tour.

Why are peaceful pro-life activists, who exercise their First Amendment rights, being treated as criminals while those who engage in violent protests or obstruct justice often go unpunished?
Committed by leftist activists, who are often given a free pass. This is a clear example of politically motivated prosecution, and it is a grave violation of our constitutional rights.
The prosecution of pro-life protesters under the FACE Act shows a troubling pattern of selective enforcement of federal laws. While the Biden administration claims to prioritize justice and equality, their actions speak otherwise. Peaceful pro-life activists, who are exercising their First Amendment rights and standing up for the sanctity of life, are being treated as criminals and face severe consequences. Meanwhile, those who engage in violent protests or obstruct justice are often let off the hook.
This biased application of federal laws not only undermines the integrity of our justice system but also raises serious concerns about the Biden administration’s commitment to upholding the constitutional rights of all Americans. The right to freedom of speech and peaceful assembly are fundamental to our democracy, and they should be protected and respected regardless of one’s political beliefs.
The outrage sparked by this prosecution is justified. It is a clear violation of our right to dissent and peacefully protest. The fact that pro-life activists face harsh penalties while those who protest outside the homes of Supreme Court justices go unpunished is a glaring double standard. It raises questions about the motives of the Biden administration and their priorities when it comes to law enforcement.
As citizens, we must stand up against this injustice and demand accountability. We cannot allow the government to selectively enforce laws based on political ideology. This erosion of our rights sets a dangerous precedent and threatens the very foundation of our democracy.
It is time for the Biden administration to reevaluate its priorities and ensure that justice is applied fairly and impartially. The prosecution of pro-life protesters should be reconsidered, and the focus should shift towards addressing real threats to public safety and upholding the rule of law.
We must continue to voice our concerns and hold our government accountable. Our constitutional rights are not negotiable, and we cannot allow them to be trampled upon. The fight for justice and equality requires vigilance and perseverance, and we must remain steadfast in our resolve to protect our fundamental rights.
As anger erupts online over the Biden DOJ’s prosecution of pro-life protesters, it serves as a stark reminder of the importance of upholding our constitutional rights and demanding equal treatment under the law. It is only through collective action and unwavering commitment that we can ensure a just and fair society for all.
