Trump and Vance back anti-abortion activists in March for Life speeches Both president and vice-president indicate US justice department will no longer prosecute anti-abortion activists.
Vance trumpeted the president’s decision to, on Thursday, pardon several anti-abortion activists who had been convicted of violating the federal Free Access to Clinic Entrances Act, or the Face Act, by blockading an abortion clinic.
In addresses to the March for Life, the nation’s largest anti-abortion rally, Donald Trump and his vice-president, JD Vance, both indicated on Friday that the US justice department would no longer prosecute anti-abortion activists.
“No longer will our government throw pro-life protesters and activists – elderly, grandparents, or anybody else – in prison,” Vance told the thousands-strong crowd that gathered on the National Mall, in the shadow of the Washington Monument.
“I’m releasing the Christians and pro-life activists who were persecuted by the Biden regime for praying and living out their faith,” Trump said in his own address, which the president pre-recorded and broadcast to the crowd on two giant screens.
