John,
Today, five pro-life activists were found guilty of violating federal law for conducting a peaceful rescue at a notorious late-term abortion facility in Washington, D.C.
Lauren Handy, Will Goodman, John Hinshaw, Heather Idoni, and Herb Geraghty were all charged with conspiracy against rights and FACE Act violations.
This is a dangerous precedent for pro-life speech.
From the beginning, this trial has been a sham with a completely biased pro-abortion judge who has made a mockery of our justice system.
These charges stem from the FACE Act, which exists to punitively target and chill the free speech of pro-life Americans.
Make no doubt about it: the verdict of these pro-life heroes is a blatant abuse of political power.
These activists are heroes, and President Biden’s Department of Justice has acted capriciously and illegitimately. Their acts of bravery to protect innocent human life from notorious D.C. abortionist Cesare Santangelo have been punished by the corrupt Department of Justice.
This decision will be appealed, and we demand it be overturned.

John, Santangelo’s Washington Surgi-Clinic is known for being a late-term abortion facility, surgically killing babies that are well past viability outside of their mother.
Santangelo has even been caught on camera by Live Action stating his willingness to withhold medical care from infants born alive after a botched abortion, a violation of federal law.
This judge, however, refused to admit into evidence the Live Action investigation video showing the abortionist, in his own words, stating his willingness to let a living child outside of the womb die from neglect and lack of medical attention while acknowledging that he would be "legally" "obligated to help it to survive.”
We are demanding justice for these pro-life activists who have put everything on the line to protect women and innocent, defenseless children.
