Hi John,

Seven pro-life activists were sentenced this week to federal prison for peacefully protesting a late-term Washington, D.C. abortion facility.

It is a travesty that in our nation's capital, the abortionists who slaughter full-term infants walk free while peaceful pro-life activists who protest their gruesome butchery are thrown into prison.

Lauren Handy, a 30-year-old pro-life activist, was sentenced to 57 months, more than four years.

Joan Andrews Bell, a 76-year-old grandmother who has dedicated her life to saving babies and women from abortion, was sentenced to 27 months in prison; Jean Marshall, 74, was sentenced to 24 months in prison.

John Hinshaw, a 69-year-old pro-life activist, was sentenced to 21 months; Iraq War veteran Jonathan Darnel faces 34 months in prison, and Herb Geraghty and Will Goodman were sentenced to 27 months in prison.

These pro-lifers were found guilty of violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act — a law that the Biden administration is weaponizing to jail pro-life Americans who peacefully protest at abortion facilities. 

John, this is pure political persecution. Will you take action on behalf of these pro-life activists and urge your elected representatives to repeal the FACE Act? If we don’t act now, Big Abortion and its allies will forever silence pro-life free speech.

I can’t underscore this enough: the pro-life activists who were sentenced for violating the FACE Act were peacefully protesting. They were protesting abortionist Caesare Santangelo’s Washington, D.C. abortion facility — the same facility where the bodies of 115 aborted children were discovered in a medical waste bin that ignited the #JusticefortheFive campaign in 2022.

Free speech is the cornerstone of a free society, and this frightening and unjust attack is pure political persecution of pro-life people.

I’m mobilizing my team now to stand up for free speech and the rights of these pro-life heroes by calling on Congress to repeal the discriminatory FACE Act before more pro-life people are arrested.

But we can’t do this alone. Can I count on you to contact your elected representative right now to urge Congress to repeal the FACE Act?

A person’s pro-life stance should never mean they lose their constitutional right to speak up. This chilling attack on free speech must be stopped. Here’s the link where you can quickly and securely send a message: https://actnow.io/ARQQhk1

Thank you in advance for your help in this fight. Together, we can ensure that no one loses their right to protest injustice.
