A 75-year-old pro-life activist was sentenced to two years in prison by the US District Court for violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act. Paulette Harlow from Kingston, Massachusetts was one of ten individuals who were convicted as part of a “conspiracy” to block women from entering an abortion clinic in Washington, DC.

Representative Chip Roy heavily criticized the FACE Act earlier this year, claiming that it is being “weaponized against normal, everyday Americans across the political spectrum.”

"The TN case is part of a disturbing pattern of overcharging and using absurd amounts of law-enforcement resources to intimidate pro-lifers.”

We were there because we are compassionate, we do care, and we love them," Harlow said in a statement. "It’s despicable that in this country we have pregnant women and we can’t do anything to help them except offer to kill their child. That’s not help at all. It’s not good healthcare when one of the people involved has to die." "I don’t think women are being cared for properly in this country. Offering them abortion is only taking advantage of them when they are afraid," Harlow said.
