A pro-life activist named Lauren Handy, who was prosecuted by Joe Biden’s corrupt Justice Department for violating the FACE Act, has been sentenced to nearly five years in prison for blockading an abortion clinic in 2020.
Here’s more from the AP:
An anti-abortion activist who led others on an invasion and blockade of a reproductive health clinic in the nation’s capital was sentenced on Tuesday to nearly five years in prison.
A reproductive health clinic? Um no. It’s an abortion clinic and no amount of changing the language will change the baby killing that happens in these clinics.
Lauren Handy, 30, was among several people convicted of federal civil rights offenses for blockading access to the Washington Surgi-Clinic on Oct. 22, 2020. Police found five fetuses at Handy’s home in Washington after she was indicted.
Police found five fetuses at her home? Okay that’s pretty weird. I don’t know if that played into her sentencing or not.
A clinic nurse sprained her ankle when one of Handy’s co-defendants forced his way into the clinic and pushed her. Another co-defendant accosted a woman who was having labor pains, preventing her from getting off a floor and entering the clinic, prosecutors said.
Inside the clinic’s waiting room, Handy directed blockaders to link themselves together with locks and chains and block the doors. A co-defendant used social media to livestream the blockade, which lasted several hours before police arrested the participants.
Handy declined to address the court before U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly sentenced her to four years and nine months in prison.
Handy’s supporters applauded as she was led out of the courtroom. “You’re a hero, Lauren!” one of them shouted.
The judge told Handy that she was being punished for her actions, not her beliefs.
“The law does not protect violent nor obstructive conduct, nor should it,” Kollar-Kotelly said.
Kollar-Kotelly is a Clinton appointee. The DOJ recommended six years and Handy got most of it.
What’s so bothersome about this is the blatant double standard being applied to these pro-lifers versus leftist protesters that block Jewish students from attending college or BLMers who riot and shut down businesses. Biden’s weaponized DOJ is bending over backwards to prosecute pro-lifers in the name of their baby-murdering religion but when it comes to the left, they just pretend like it’s not that big of a deal. It’s evil.
