Pro-life activist Lauren Handy has been sentenced to nearly five years in prison for leading a group of fellow activists to blockade a clinic that performs abortions.
In an opinion and memorandum issued on May 13, U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly sentenced Ms. Handy to 57 months in prison (in practice lowered to 48 months due to time already served), plus three years of probation and a monetary fine.
