He also said, under his watch, \u201cnever again will the federal government be used to target religious believers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Trump has since repeated that promise elsewhere. Last February, before the National Religious Broadcasters, Trump lamented the plight of \u201cpro-life activists &#8230; convicted on outrageous charges\u201d in Nashville, where the speech took place. In a speech to the Faith and Freedom Coalition last June, Trump highlighted the case of Paulette Harlow, a 76-year-old with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/catholicvote.org\/judge-chides-elderly-pro-life-rescuer-about-dying-in-prison-and-her-faith\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">severe medical issues<\/a>\u00a0whose judge\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/catholicvote.org\/judge-chides-elderly-pro-life-rescuer-about-dying-in-prison-and-her-faith\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">mocked<\/a>\u00a0her faith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">\u201cI will govern by a simple motto:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/washingtonstand.com\/commentary\/here-are-donald-trumps-promises-made-on-transgenderism-and-abortion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Promises made, promises kept<\/a>,\u201d vowed Trump shortly after winning the 2024 presidential election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">In their letter, the legal organization outlines the unjust treatment and dubious legal theories that resulted in federal judges doling out multi-year sentences to its often-elderly clients over acting on their conscience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The Biden-Harris administration has not prosecuted anyone under the FACE Act for the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/washingtonstand.com\/news\/436-church-attacks-in-2023-zero-prosecutions-under-the-face-act-notes-house-hearing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">436 church attacks<\/a>\u00a0that took place last year, even though pro-life pregnancy resource centers are\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/washingtonstand.com\/news\/prolife-centers-22-times-more-likely-to-be-attacked-than-abortion-facilities-study\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">22 times more likely to be attacked<\/a>\u00a0than abortion facilities. \u201cWhile Biden\u2019s prosecutors almost entirely ignored the firebombing and vandalism of hundreds of pro-life churches and pregnancy centers, they viciously pursued pro-life Americans, obtaining convictions against them under the federal \u2018FACE Act\u2019 (18 U.S.C. \u00a7 248) and the Ku Klux Klan Act\u2019s \u2018Conspiracy Against Rights\u2019 felony provisions (18 U.S.C. \u00a7 241). But these individuals participated in mere peaceable civil disobedience, in the heralded tradition of the American Civil Rights activists. Peaceable actions like these usually merit, at worst, a minor misdemeanor conviction,\u201d it states. These prosecutions represent a significant escalation of lawfare and weaponization of government against Christians. \u201cNeither the Clinton DOJ nor the Obama DOJ dared use this plainly inapplicable law against pro-life advocates.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Such prosecutions were never supposed to take place, according to the bill\u2019s authors. During debate over the 1994 act, the late Senator Ted Kennedy reassured voters that, \u201cif an individual does violate this law for the first time, it is not a felony.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The letter states the prosecutions also violate the Supreme Court\u2019s ruling last June in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.supremecourt.gov\/opinions\/23pdf\/23-5572_l6hn.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Fischer v. U.S.<\/a>\u00a0(2024), which warned against the potential use of the law to \u201ccriminalize a broad swath of prosaic conduct, exposing activists and lobbyists alike to decades in prison.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The FACE Act, signed into law by President Bill Clinton more than three decades ago, makes it a federal crime to block or otherwise harm a reproductive health care facility or church. However, the Thomas More Society argued, clients protesting outside a Washington, D.C., abortion facility objected to the potentially illegal murder of late-term or newborn babies after the remains of five infants were found in its garbage. \u201cThe trial judge recognized that, if those advocates acted on behalf of those innocent children left to die, their conduct would&nbsp;<em>not<\/em>&nbsp;violate the FACE Act. But then, that same trial judge refused to allow the jury to hear the significant evidence establishing the defense: that such illegality was occurring and that the advocates were motivated by their desire to oppose that illegality,\u201d the letter states. (Emphasis in original.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The 31-year-old FACE Act has become pass\u00e9, as it attempts to enforce a non-right. The 2022 Dobbs decision ruled that the Roe v. Wade opinion erred in inventing a purported right to abortion in the U.S. Constitution. The pro-life ruling \u201ceroded the principal stated purpose of Congress\u2019 enactment of the FACE Act, namely, to protect the purported constitutional right to abortion access,\u201d which Dobbs ruled \u201cas non-existent.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">\u201cWe are hopeful that the second Trump administration will spell a new day for pro-life advocates who have faced FBI raids, federal prosecutions, and severe punishment for peacefully and courageously witnessing for life,\u201d said&nbsp;Peter Breen, the Thomas More Society\u2019s executive vice president and head of litigation, who is one of the letter\u2019s signatories.&nbsp;\u201cBy acting on the requested presidential pardons, President Trump has a golden opportunity to not only stop the lawfare against peaceful pro-lifers, but to also undo some of the unprecedented damage of the Biden administration. Inside and outside the courtroom, Thomas More Society attorneys have seen up close the harm inflicted by the Biden DOJ\u2019s weaponization of the FACE Act. Today, we call on President Trump to pardon these peaceful pro-lifers and put an end to this government overreach.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">In a related move, Attorney General-designate Pam Bondi promised to investigate the left-wing group behind an infamous federal memorandum the FBI used to infiltrate and investigate traditionalist, Latin Mass Roman Catholic parishes and churchgoers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The document\u2019s conclusions relied in part upon reports from the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), which Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) referred to as an \u201canti-religious group that has repeatedly gone after conservative and religious organizations\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The SPLC \u201conce infamously \u2026 called the Family Research Council a terrorist hate group and an armed gunman came into their lobby and opened fire,\u201d Hawley accurately noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">\u201cWill you put a stop to the use of the SPLC as an official source for any Department of Justice memorandum or finding?\u201d Hawley asked during Bondi\u2019s confirmation hearings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">\u201cThat will be one of the first things we look at,\u201d\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/CatholicVote\/status\/1879609750608105556\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">responded<\/a>\u00a0Bondi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Pro-life stalwarts hope Monday\u2019s inauguration begins the era of a kinder, gentler America that has greater respect for life and liberty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">\u201cWe urge President Trump to right the grievous wrongs of the Biden administration\u2019s weaponization of the Department of Justice,\u201d\u00a0stated\u00a0Steve Crampton, senior counsel at the Thomas More Society. \u201cThese 21 peaceful pro-lifers, many of whom are currently imprisoned for bravely standing up for unborn life, are upstanding citizens and pillars of their communities. Through full and unconditional pardons for these pro-life advocates, President Trump has the chance to remedy the harm done to them and their families, deliver on his campaign promises, and repair trust in our constitutional order.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The 21 pro-life advocates are: Joan Bell, Coleman Boyd, Joel Curry, Jonathan Darnel, Eva Edl, Chester Gallagher, William Goodman, Dennis Green, Lauren Handy, Paulette Harlow, John Hinshaw, Heather Idoni, Jean Marshall, Fr.
