Calling the law unconstitutional, 11 pro-life activists are asking the court to dismiss charges of violations of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act that could put them in prison for up to 11 years.

The group believes the Department of Justice (DOJ) is singling out people with pro-life views for FACE prosecution, while virtually ignoring pro-abortion attacks on pregnancy resource centers and churches.
