Activist Lauren Handy to remain behind bars while awaiting sentencing for Washington abortion clinic protest because it was deemed a crime of violence.
Lauren Handy, leader of a group of people convicted of conspiring to obstruct access to an abortion clinic in Washington, vows to appeal the federal conviction. She is also seeking release from pre-sentencing detention.
A federal appeals court has ruled that officials in the Washington D.C. local government could be sued for selectively enforcing a property defacement statute to punish pro-life activists who wrote a pro-life message in chalk on a city sidewalk, while ignoring similar but more permanent actions by Black Lives Matter (BLM) activists.
