In Nashville on Jan. 30, six pro-life activists were convicted in federal court of conspiracy to violate the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act for peacefully praying and singing at the entrance to an abortion clinic in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee, in March 2021. Those convicted now face a possible prison sentence of 10 1/2 years and up to $250,000 in fines.
