(LifeSiteNews) – The Biden administration has already put a dozen pro-life Americans in prison for protesting abortion, but that’s apparently not enough for Biden and the radical abortion activists in his administration.
The Justice Department on Monday filed suit
against two pro-life groups and several pro-life advocates on Monday by falsely
claiming their abortion protests are intimidating and somehow violate the bogus
FACE law that limits the free speech rights of pro-life Americans. Biden’s
cronies accuse them of “intimidating” abortion customers at two abortion
businesses in Ohio.
Biden officials claim the two groups, Citizens
for a Pro-Life Society and Red Rose Rescue, along with seven pro-life
Americans, violated the FACE law. After putting a dozen pro-life Americans in
prison on bogus charges, these new charges seek tens of thousands of dollars in
“fines” for violating the law that infringes on pro-life free speech.
The Justice Department is seeking financial
damages, including $20,516 for first violations and $30,868 for subsequent
offenses as well as injunctive relief as provided by the FACE Act.
A DOJ press release does not mention criminal
charges, but nothing prevents Biden officials from bringing them.
Monica Miller, who heads the Citizens for a
Pro-Life Society group, denied any wrongdoing and told LifeNews that she is one
of the people named in the legal charges the Biden administration is bringing.
She indicated Father Fidelis Moscinski, a Catholic priest, is also charged
along with Laura Gies, Clara McDonald, Jay Smith, Audrey Whipple and Lauren
Handy, who is already in federal prison based on the first round of disputed
FACE charges.
Miller said her pro-life activities – which
include protests outside abortion centers as well as handing women inside
abortion centers red roses with information about abortion alternatives, do not
violate the FACE law because they do not threaten anyone nor do they block
“access” to abortion
Miller said they “never block anything or
anyone–and if the Department of Justice is coming after us for our
peaceful–life-saving efforts it’s because they will simply play fast and loose
with the FACE language having to do with ‘physical obstruction’ that
prevents ‘freedom of movement.’”
She indicated that there have been 37 abortion
protests and no one in any of the protests has been charged with anything until
now.
As a result of the pro-life activities, five
babies were saved from abortions.
“We have NEVER been charged with FACE, and
indeed, the red rose rescue we did at the Planned Parenthood in
Bedford Heights, June 5, 2021, one of the two that involves this DOJ
accusation, — all charges were dropped,” Miller indicated. “We have every
confidence that through our great attorneys we will prevail over this bogus
attempt by the weaponized JOJ to drag even RRR under its persecution of those who
seek to defend the unborn from violence.”
