President Biden’s Department of Justice has indicted 11 pro-life activists who protested outside of a Tennessee abortion clinic earlier this year.
The Justice Department says the activists violated the FACE Act with their protest which blockaded a Tennessee abortion clinic’s entrance. According to the indictment the group physically prevented both employees of the clinic and at least one would-be patient from entering the building in early March. The federal FACE Act prohibits demonstrators from blocking access to abortion clinics. (RELATED: Elderly Pro-Life Volunteer Shot While Canvassing Michigan Neighborhood)
According to Fox News, the DOJ charged seven of the protesters with “conspiracy against rights secured by the FACE Act” and the other four protestors were charged with committing FACE Act violations.
Chester Gallagher, 73; Paul Vaughn, 55; Heather Idoni, 58; Calvin Zastrow, 57; Caroline Davis, 24; Coleman Boyd, 51; Dennis Green, 56; Eva Edl, 87; Eva Zastro, 24; James Zastro, 25; and Paul Place, 24 were all indicted by the DOJ on Wednesday.
Those charged with conspiracy face up to 11 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000. Those charged with FACE Act violations face up to one year in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.
The DOJ alleges the protesters planned a “blockade” at the Carafem Health Center Clinic and “blocked the clinic’s entry doors and prevented a patient and an employee from entering.”
The DOJ also states that Boyd livestreamed the incident on social media and that footage showed members of the group “attempting to engage a patient and her companion as Boyd told his livestream audience that the patient was a ‘mom coming to kill her baby.’”
The DOJ’s decision to indict the 11 pro-life activists comes on the heels of the FBI’s recent raid of a Catholic pro-life activist in Pennsylvania. (RELATED: Biden’s FBI Armed Raid Against Catholic Pro-Life Speaker Threatens Us All)
The DOJ has opted to aggressively crack down on pro-life activists while turning a blind eye to violence committed by pro-abortion radicals. For example, the DOJ has refused to prosecute at least 17 incidents of vandalism and arson against pro-life clinics committed by the radical abortion group “Jane’s Revenge.”

Of Coarse! Only Democrats, Socialists, and minorities have a constitutional right to protest. All others must be silenced and punished. Welcome to the new divided states.
Has the DOJ ever charged anyone for protesting at the home of a sitting Supreme Court justice? We probably won’t see that any time soon.
No, and they never charged any of the thugs from the blm either. If you’re any color but white you don’t have to worry about anything you do.
