WASHINGTON, D.C. (LifeSiteNews) — Pro-life advocate Lauren Handy was sentenced to four years in prison and a $125 fine on Tuesday, in the first of Tuesday’s sentencing hearings for the first batch of pro-lifers convicted last year of blocking access to a late-term abortion facility in the nation’s capital.

On August 29, 2023, a D.C. jury found Handy, Will Goodman, Heather Idoni, John Hinshaw, and Rosemary “Herb” Geraghty guilty of violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act and “conspiracy against rights.” The next month, Joan Andrews Bell, Jonathan Darnel, and Jean Marshall were convicted of the same; Paulette Harlow’s conviction came in November.

pure evil.

Message: DOJ Clarke’s testifying falsely, falsifying govt documents about her arrest and jailing, her comments about racial superiority, and her role organizing a 1994 event at Harvard that hosted a professor who accused Jews of persecuting black people are troubling.

She should step down immediately.

Clarke falsely testifying indicates she apparently believes Americans who pay her salary are too stupid to determine the facts.

Reference The reported events of Clarke’s arrest and jailing WRT the July 4, 2006, incident.
“I was seeing another woman,” her then husband Avery shared in the May 2021 text message exchange. “She was angry. Attacked me with a knife. That’s the story,” Avery insisted. “That’s what happened. She went to jail.”

Avery confirmed to The Daily Signal that his text conversations with Jones accurately represent what took place that night, including that he did not ultimately press charges and that he was not contacted by federal authorities about the incident. He declined to comment further.

Prince George’s County Police Department records show that the department was called on nine different occasions by someone at Avery’s and Clarke’s Upper Marlboro, Maryland, household between May 2003 and December 2007.

Seven of those calls were for a “threat” or some type of domestic violence, but most were cleared without a report. The July 4, 2006, call was made by “Mr. Reginald” (Avery’s first name) and accompanied by a 760 code, according to a mainframe print-out from Prince George’s County computer-aided dispatch system obtained by The Daily Signal.

That 760 code is the department’s clearance code for “arrest,” the Prince George County Police Department confirmed.

FR thread: Pro-Life Activist and Mother of 15 Suffers Stroke in Prison –
After Biden DOJ Regime Places Her in Solitary Confinement for 22 Days


thedailysignal.com-——Biden appointee, Kristen Clarke, assistant attorney general for civil rights at the Department of Justice, is a vocal abortion proponent who has repeatedly expressed her support for preserving Roe v. Wade. She also oversees investigations into violations of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act—which she has used to charge 26 pro-life individuals this year.

“It appears she’s violating her oath of office and she’s violating her duty, which is to fairly administer the law regardless of political views,” John Daukas, former acting assistant attorney general for civil rights in the Trump administration, told The Daily Signal. “She appears only to be prosecuting groups that she doesn’t like, doesn’t agree with.”

Few would expect such a high-ranking DOJ official to retain the slew of political hot-takes and public condemnations that litter Clarke’s social media from before she assumed her current role. She has called Alliance Defending Freedom a “hate group” and Liberty University a “fundamentalist Christian school.” She has said that those protesting Dr. Anthony Fauci should be “publicly identified and named, barred from treatment at any public hospital if/when they fall ill and denied coverage under their insurance.”

She has hurled insults at Republican politicians from Lisa Murkowski to Donald Trump, supported the allegations of Christine Blasey Ford, and has submitted testimony to the U.S. Senate that Amy Coney Barrett was unfit to serve as a justice because she would likely rule to overturn Roe v. Wade (which Clarke vociferously and publicly supported). She has frequently critiqued pro-life laws and courts that upheld them, branding a law protecting Down Syndrome babies “draconian.”

Significantly (in light of the scores of recent attacks on pro-life centers following the Roe v. Wade leak), Clarke called pro-life pregnancy care centers “predatory” and “fake clinics,” claiming they are part of a “coordinated strategy to tear down Roe” (as The Washington Free Beacon’s Chuck Ross reported).

Clarke has heavily toned down her activist rhetoric since her nomination to the Justice Department. The Daily Signal reached out to her multiple times through various avenues to obtain comment for this story, but a spokesperson declined to comment on her behalf.

Her politically charged comments call into question “her ability to impartially enforce the law,” according to Roger Severino, the former director of the health department’s Office for Civil Rights who also formerly served as a trial attorney in the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division.

God has already determined what to do with this “judge”

Luke 17:2

“It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.“

DC judges never tire of persecuting the right wing. What sentence do you suppose the terrorist protesters arrested at Georgetown will get? Nada.

Unreal. We are so gone. If they allow TRump to win the democrats are going to unleash their terror cells and millions of illegal alien foot soldiers. It’s going to be bloody and violent.

This is exactly why the first order of business if Republicans can gain enough momentum in November is to start the big push for a constitutional convention to repeal the 17th Amendment. This should be job one, as the Judiciary has been taken over by authoritarian sociopaths. While we have a number of problems that need to be addressed, if the judiciary is not cleaned out and replaced with people who actually adhere to the Constitution as written, it doesn’t matter what else we do.

Stories like this makes it clear that our own Government is the greatest threat to our freedom. China, Russia, and the crazy muzzies take a backseat to the evil SOBs running and ruining this country.

>DC judges never tire of persecuting the right wing

End the delegation of constitutional power known as DC Home Rule, an experiment started in 1973. Clean out all the local junk officials and start fresh with new ones that look like those representing America, rather than those who happen to currently live in DC. It's both anti-democratic and anti-Democratic, but it's right there in Article I § 8. If folks don't want to live in the, at most, 10 sq. miles district, constitutionally so ruled by Congress they don't have to move far.

I know I say this often, but, “words escape me.” This is not the free United States of America anymore. It’s a communist regime where “right is wrong, and wrong is right.” The judgment that will fall upon this nation will be well deserved.

By blocking access they mean using ropes and chains to form a human chain to block access. A nurse was injured and a patient had a medical emergency during the protest.

Yes, it looks like these American-grown communists are going to give the old Soviets, the Chinese and Pol Pot a run for their money.

Activist judges belong in prison for life, not behind a bench in a courtroom.

Meanwhile, scumbags who block streets and highways in the name of terrorism, often trapping motorists for hours go free.

Prayers up for Lauren and for all of them.
