Some of the pro-life activists who were charged with violations of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act last week are speaking out.
Federal authorities announced charges on Oct. 6 against 11 activists who blocked a clinic entrance in Tennessee in 2021. All of the activists were charged with violating the law. Known as the FACE Act, the law prohibits threatening or obstructing people who are trying to obtain or provide abortions. Some of the activists also were charged with civil rights conspiracy.
