Outcry Grows over Nearly 5-Year Prison Sentence of Pro-Life Activist

Dan Hart

Lawmakers, legal experts, and analysts are decrying the nearly five-year prison sentence levied on a pro-life activist as an example of the weaponization of the federal government against citizens with disfavored political views.

On Tuesday, pro-life activist Lauren Handy was sentenced to 57 months in prison for leading a group of other activists in blockading the entrance to a Washington, D.C. abortion facility in October 2020. Handy was prosecuted by the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) Civil Rights Division along with nine other co-defendants and became the first person ever to be sentenced for violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act. The FACE Act was originally designed to protect both pregnancy resource centers and abortion facilities, but the Biden administration has notably used the law to justify the prosecution of pro-life activists on numerous occasions ever since the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision overturned Roe v. Wade in June 2022.

“Today’s outrageous 57-month sentence for a progressive pro-life activist is a stark reminder: Biden’s DOJ is fully weaponized against pro-life American citizens, and they are using the FACE Act to do it,” said Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) in a statement following Handy’s sentence. “House Republicans should defund the DOJ weaponization, repeal the FACE Act, and stand up for the freedoms that we campaign on.”

On Wednesday, Peter Breen, who represents Handy in the case and serves as executive vice president and head of litigation at Thomas More Society, pointed out on “Washington Watch with Tony Perkins” that in addition to the FACE Act charge, the DOJ unearthed an obscure “conspiracy against rights” law to prosecute Handy.

“[T]he traditional way you deal with folks doing civil disobedience is they get a trespass charge — you get a slap on the wrist and they move on,” he noted. “I mean, [look at what] we’ve been through in the last five years or so. [O]ur cities have been burned and people weren’t even charged. And now we’re looking at people that peaceably came into a late-term abortion facility where we think we’ve got evidence of illegal abortions [as well as] actual homicides of little children that were born. And our folks are getting five years in a federal penitentiary for that. That makes no sense.”

There truly is a death culture in the United States. The radical feminist and democratic socialist have jumped into bed with a Luciferian doctrine of death to the vulnerable. Why in this modern world can we not come together on this one thing, life to the unborn? Why the need to kill? Women who have been given the precious ability, by God , to bring forth life are always at the forefront of pushing the extremes of killing babies. America has become a bloody nation. How long will God hold back his anger and judgement? God have mercy on us! Rh

State AG: Why many are refusing to follow Biden’s abortion agenda

Bob Unruh WND

Steve Marshall serves as the attorney general for the state of Alabama, and in an interview with the Washington Stand is explaining why his state, and more than a dozen others, are refusing to go along with Joe Biden’s latest abortion promotion.

In this case, the Biden administration has actively hijacked a definitively pro-life law and turned it around to direct support to the nation’s lucrative abortion industry.

Marshall, joining “Watchington Watch,” explained the law involved is the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, which was written to protect expectant mothers from unfair discrimination.

But Joe Biden’s Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has added to the congressional action a rule that turns it into a scheme that benefits abortionists.

He explained the original bill, bipartisan in its support was to “make sure that we accommodate pregnant women in the workplace because we want to have healthy pregnancies and children that come to birth.”

The EEOC then pushed forward an abortion rule that would “make sure that states like Alabama would have to violate state law to somehow or another accommodate a woman who wants an abortion.”

He explained even Democrats noted that the idea wasn’t to promote abortion.

“One of the Democratic sponsors of this bill made it very clear on the floor of the Senate that this bill had nothing to do with abortion [and] assured his colleagues on both sides of the aisle the intention of this bill. And yet, despite its clear language, what we see is [the] Biden administration co-opting a valid, appropriate law to be able to enforce this pro-abortion agenda.

“I know we shouldn’t be surprised, but it’s one of the reasons why I’m so proud of my colleagues across the country on many pro-life issues, because we’re standing in that gap that we need in this country to make sure that we can push back on an administration that’s just simply gone too far,” he told the Stand.

There are 17 AGs who have joined in a lawsuit over Biden’s newest abortion plan, opposing the bureaucrats in the EEOC.

“This is an unelected, unaccountable group. … We’ve seen this on multiple fronts with this administration, whether it be attacking pro-life states like Alabama. We’ve seen it with this radical gender ideology that’s being pushed through multiple federal programs. It’s why, uniquely, attorneys general in this important time in our nation have the opportunity to be able to hold [the administration] in check.”

      Gen Z Females Abandoning the Church

The cultural issues of the day are fascinating to me.  Part of what Moral Conservative strives to do is take current events and put them into the perspective of the end time scenarios.  What moves segments of the population and why. There is a troubling trend of young Gen Z (born from 1997-2012), leaving the church

 in droves.  In my opinion the biggest problem of this exodus from the church is a lack of moral fortitude to present not only a true Biblical Worldview, but also lackluster and timid Biblical preaching and teaching.  The Church is in  war and that war must be won by those who know their God and are able to fight and defend the principles of their faith.  Our battles are fought in the spiritual realm.  

Unfortunately the rise of the liberal agenda and the promotion of all things gender specific is a main culprit. Let’s take a look at some statistics.

54% of female Gen Z ages 12-27 have left the church for the following reasons:

65% because of unfair treatment of women

47% of LGBTQ mistreatment

30% identify as some form of LGBTQ (more on that later)

61% are feminist 

Over 50% want NO limits on abortion

In simple terms liberals and gender fluidity are important to this group of young women.

Let’s talk a moment about what I call the “Gender Mafia”.  Speak ill of this new religion and one can be quickly canceled or called a narrow minded hateful bigot.  Proud to say I have been identified as that on many occasions.  This new religion that seems to be sweeping the world might just be the old Babylonian goddess of Ishtar.  Part of Ishtar’s popularity was that she was one of the original female deities of the Mesopotamian pantheon.  She was often credited as being a goddess of love, sex, and fertility.  After all, what better role model than this ancient goddess of love and sex for our you liberal feminist to worship.  If you think I am being too harsh, just think back to a few years ago when pro abortion women were screaming at the top of their lungs in front of the Supreme Court for the “right” to kill their unborn child.

PREACHING TO THE CHOIR by By Randy Harris, Moral Conservative, Podcast/Blog

I remember a quote from former President Reagan: “It seems all the people for abortion have already been born.” That sums up my philosophy as well. Watch people as they live their life. When a medical crisis happens, it does not matter how old, whether they attend church or if they are non-believers, they always do everything possible, try every medical procedure, even go to other countries to look for a cure. This is telling me, life is precious we want to live, regardless of our station in life. I have always wondered how many of the millions of aborted precious lives would have made our world a much better place. Was there among them a future doctor to cure cancer or dementia? Was there among them a great inventor to solve our energy needs, or a great author or evangelist to reach the lost and hurting? In 2 Thessalonians 3:13, the Bible tells us to “not grow weary in doing good.” The word “weary” in the Greek means (faint, lose heart or be exhausted.). Today we fight an enemy that does not quit, who will never surrender and constantly throws as much evil and discouragement as possible at us. We, who have fought the Pro-Life battle, understand the idea of weariness and exhaustion. We support candidates who break our hearts as they promise life and succumb to a spirit of compromise. It’s so easy when we have fought so hard to want to rest. We are tired, exhausted and wonder when this fight will be won. But let’s be encouraged. We are winning this fight. Following last year’s Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, many states have moved to either curtail or abolish abortion altogether. In fact, a recent Gallup poll gives much encouragement if one looks deep into the questions. According to LifeSiteNews.com, “When pollsters ask the times abortion should be legal, a strong percentage of people say abortions should generally only be allowed to save the mother’s life or in cases of rape or incest. Since those rare reasons constitute approximately 2% of all abortions, many Americans oppose 98% of abortions.” This is encouraging, but let me be clear, we must refuse to stop fighting! Even one lost child is too much. This war will be won the day the murder of innocent babies has stopped! Not one day sooner. Sometimes we just have to Continue the Fight. We will not give up until total victory has been won. Let’s not become complacent with our recent victories, winning battles is not winning the war. This spiritual battle will be won on our knees in prayer and by accepting our marching orders from God. Remember the Church is a Battleship, not a cruise ship.I remember a quote from former President Reagan: “It seems all the people for abortion have already been born.” That sums up my philosophy as well.
