The Associated Press reports:
President Donald Trump signed pardons Thursday for 23 anti-abortion protesters whom the White House said were prosecuted under his predecessor Joe Biden’s administration. “They should not have been prosecuted. Many of them are elderly people,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office the day before a major anti-abortion march in Washington. “This is a great honor to sign this.”
Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., had called on Trump to pardon activists convicted under the FACE Act. “No administration in history has targeted Christians like the Biden Admin. We saw one persecution after another, from shutting down churches during COVID to raiding pro-lifers homes at the crack of dawn. EVERY pro-life prisoner Biden wrongly imprisoned should be pardoned,” Hawley wrote on X.
Read the full article. This, of course, will embolden more Christians to chain themselves to clinic doors. And worse.
For the crime of singing hymns and praying in front of a Nashville abortion clinic, these pro life activists (and others) were imprisoned by the Biden regime.
President Trump just now signed a pardon for them.
