Violating the ‘FACE Act’: TN Pro-Life Protesters Could Spend More Than a Decade Behind Bars

By

Six pro-life advocates face more than 10 years in prison after their convictions on felony charges, including violating what’s called the “FACE Act.”

Opponents, however, accuse the government of weaponizing that law against pro-lifers and not applying it fairly.

‘Rule of Law’ Victory?

“You need to leave her alone. This is harassment. This is harassment,” the abortion clinic worker tells the protester in a video.

“It’s not harassment,” the protester replies.

She then continues speaking with the woman who’s seeking to get an abortion:

“Do you know how many moms that we’ve helped? I could show you pictures of babies who’ve made it.”

This plea, urging the woman not to abort her baby, happened in 2021 outside a Tennessee abortion clinic.

In the video, the worker also confronts a protester blocking a door.

“You need to move, sir,” she says.

“No ma’am,” the protester responds.

“The police are on their way.”  

“Okay.”

“You will all be forcibly removed.”

“Okay, ma’am.” 

“You need to move.”

“No, ma’am.”
