Legal Victory Looms for Pro-Life Advocates Against Biden
Submitted by MAGA

**Opportunity** has knocked once again for pro-life advocates facing legal repercussions under the Biden administration.
A federal judge in Michigan has delayed the sentencing of several pro-life demonstrators until after Donald Trump takes office, potentially paving the way for the incoming administration to dismiss charges against them.
These individuals, including Justin Phillips, are accused of violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act due to a peaceful protest outside an abortion facility in August 2020, where they engaged in a sit-in to delay access for about an hour.
The judge’s decision opens the door for the incoming Trump administration, which has signaled a commitment to reevaluate cases involving pro-life advocates. Trump has previously expressed a desire to address what he terms the “unjust victimization” of individuals who have stood up for the sanctity of life.
Phillips, who describes their actions as an act of worship, remains resolute in his Christian beliefs, asserting that their intent was to protect unborn children in a compassionate manner.
"This was not merely a protest," Phillips emphasized. “We were worshiping the Lord and just trying to stop babies from being killed.”
The pro-life movement has faced intensified scrutiny and enforcement under the current Department of Justice, particularly since the Supreme Court's landmark decision overturning Roe v. Wade. Under the Biden administration, prosecutions related to the FACE Act have surged, with 26 individuals charged in 2022 alone—more than in the entire previous decade.
As these pro-lifers await the new administration's stance, there is a palpable sense of hope among them. Many are looking towards the future with optimism, believing that a Trump-led DOJ may lead to justice and reinstatement for those who have bravely defended their beliefs in the face of adversity.
With the pro-life community witnessing shifts in the legal landscape, all eyes will be on the upcoming administration to see how it navigates these pivotal issues. The potential for a change in course could provide a significant lift not only to Phillips and his co-defendants but also to countless advocates nationwide who have stood steadfast in their mission to promote a culture of life.
