Bill > SR27

This resolution urges the United States Congress to repeal the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act, a law enacted in 1994 that prohibits individuals from interfering with access to reproductive health services, including abortion facilities and pregnancy resource centers, with penalties ranging from jail time and fines for offenders. The resolution argues that the FACE Act has been "weaponized" and politicized by the Biden administration's Department of Justice (DOJ), citing instances where pro-life individuals have faced severe charges and prosecutions, sometimes with aggressive law enforcement tactics, while attacks on pregnancy resource centers and churches have gone unpunished. It specifically mentions the cases of Mark Houck, Paul Vaughn, Dr. Coleman Boyd, Eva Edl, and Bevelyn Beatty Williams as examples of alleged unjust prosecution under the FACE Act. The resolution commends former President Donald Trump for issuing pardons to 23 pro-life Americans convicted under the FACE Act, viewing this as a signal of opposition to its perceived abuses, and calls for the passage of House Bill H.R. 589 and Senate Bill S. 223, which aim to repeal the FACE Act.
