As pro-life activists await pardons from President Donald Trump, a key Republican member of Congress is introducing legislation targeting the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act.
Republican Texas Rep. Chip Roy introduced a bill Tuesday to repeal the FACE Act, which “prohibits threats of force, obstruction and property damage intended to interfere with reproductive health care services.”
“Now that we have a Republican trifecta in the House, Senate, and White House, Congress should move quickly to repeal this law and ensure that no future president can weaponize it against pro-lifers ever again,” Roy said in a statement.
“Free Americans should never live in fear of their government targeting them because of their beliefs,” Roy has said. “Yet, Biden’s Department of Justice has brazenly weaponized the FACE Act against normal, everyday Americans across the political spectrum, simply because they are pro-life.”
“Our Constitution separates power between the federal government and the states for a reason, and we ignore that safeguard at our own peril,” he added. “The FACE Act is an unconstitutional federal takeover of state police powers; it must be repealed.”
The bill comes as 21 pro-life advocates like Bevelyn Williams await a prdon from President Trump.
