Biden Justice Department Indicts 8 More Pro-Life Activists for FACE Act Violations

Boston, Mass., Feb 23, 2023 / 15:40 pm The Department of Justice has charged eight pro-life advocates in Michigan with violations against the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, also known as the FACE Act.

The charges come amid a wave of FACE Act charges from the Biden DOJ that have targeted several pro-life activists across the nation, including the recently exonerated sidewalk counselor and Catholic father of seven Mark Houck.

The FACE Act prohibits “violent, threatening, damaging, and obstructive conduct intended to injure, intimidate, or interfere with the right to seek, obtain, or provide reproductive health services.”

The indictment, which was returned by a federal grand jury, alleges that the following individuals violated the FACE Act: Calvin Zastrow of Michigan; Chester Gallagher of Tennessee; Heather Idoni of Michigan; Caroline Davis of Georgia; Joel Curry of Michigan; Justin Phillips of Michigan; Eva Edl of South Carolina; and Eva Zastrow of Michigan, according to the indictment. The case is being prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Michigan, according to a DOJ press release.

The indictment does not state the pro-life activists’ ages. Six of the names listed in the indictment match six of the 11 pro-life activists who were indicted on FACE Act violations in October 2022 by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Tennessee. Those names are Calvin Zastrow, Chester Gallagher, Heather Idoni, Caroline Davis, Eva Edl, and Eva Zastrow.

Just despicable.

Not once to my knowledge have they ever charged leftists with obstructing freeways or assaulting pro-life supporters or burning down cities.

And yet lefties attack pro-life centers with impunity, and with a nod from the Garland DOJ.

Why hasn’t Jo Jo the Clown been indicted for all his daily Facial Ass violations.

Remember when they introduced pain-compliance torture to pro-life people?

The government gets creative and focused on pro-lifers.

Unless you are pro life, of course.

"After officers arrived the eight “refused to move and instead engaged the officers in conversation as a delay tactic,” the indictment said."

Oh, the horror. Conversation?

Really?

They should do this at night and they can’t get caught. Isn’t that what the AG suggested in the hearing today?

Thank God we’ve got some senators who will harshly question the attorney general over this. That’ll teach him.

”In your face” is our communist masters' favorite tool to rattle the chains of tyranny that they have wrapped around our necks...

No Big Deal!
Our communist masters know that the pathetically servile and indolent Aamerican people will just continue to roll over and spread their collective cheeks...

The Aamerican people now understand that the First Amendment calls for them to:
Bow down!... Obey!... Snitch!...
