Trump Set to Pardon Pro-Life Activists: Report

President Donald Trump is reportedly preparing to pardon pro-life activists who have been incarcerated by the Biden Justice Department, with the pardons expected to be issued within days, according to sources familiar with the matter.

The plight of these imprisoned pro-life activists has become a top priority for Trump’s team, and the pardons are anticipated soon, just a day before the 52nd annual March for Life. This significant event, which takes place in Washington D.C., is aimed at raising awareness of the lives lost to abortion. Trump is expected to appear at the rally via a pre-recorded video message, the Daily Wire reported.

On Monday, President Trump signed a sweeping executive order granting full pardons to approximately 1,500 individuals involved in the January 6 Capitol Riot, fulfilling a campaign promise to free those who he believes were unfairly targeted by the Biden administration.

This move has sparked hope within the pro-life community that Trump will take similar action to pardon pro-life activists who have been targeted under the Biden Justice Department, particularly those charged under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act.

“I hope President Trump will shortly pardon the pro-life prisoners unjustly targeted & jailed by the Biden Administration,” Missouri Republican Sen. Josh Hawley posted to “X” on Wednesday. “They deserve to be free.”

On Thursday, The Daily Signal first reported that Republican Utah Sen, Mike Lee had re-introduced a bill that would repeal the FACE Act once and for all.

“While President Trump is stopping these outrageous prosecutions, we should ensure that no future administration has the ability to persecute Americans through unequal application of the law,” Lee told the publication.

Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) introduced a companion bill in the House on Tuesday, saying Republicans needed to take advantage of their control of Congress and the White House, the DW added.

Trump has repeatedly criticized the Biden DOJ for targeting pro-lifers on “outrageous charges,” promising on the campaign trail to “rapidly review the cases of every political prisoner who’s unjustly victimized by the Biden regime…so we can get them out of the gulags and back to their families where they belong.”

The outlet added:

The pardons would bring immediate relief to those currently imprisoned including Lauren Handy (57 months in prison), John Hinshaw (21 months), Jonathan Darnell (34 months), Herb Geraghty (27 months), Jean Marshall (24 months), Joan Bell (27 months), Paulette Harlow (24 months), Bevelyn Williams (41 months), Heather Idoni (24 months), and Calvin Zastrow (6 months).
