Attorney General Merrick Garland said the Department of Justice has prosecuted more protesting pro-life activists than those who attack pro-life organizations because they are simply easier to identify and track down.

Garland testified on a range of topics before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday. During the hearing, Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) questioned Garland about a disparity between DOJ efforts to prosecute pro-life activists, including those who vandalize abortion clinics, and those who vandalize pro-life organizations and churches.
