Six Pro-Life Activists Found Guilty, Face 11 Years in Prison for Peaceful Protest

Six pro-life activists were found guilty on Tuesday for “conspiracy against rights” and violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) in relation to a peaceful protest outside of a Tennessee abortion facility in 2021.

President Joe Biden’s pro-abortion administration announced in October 2022 that it had charged 11 activists involved in the March 5, 2021, “blockade” of the Carafem Health Center Clinic in Mount Juliet. Attorneys for the activists said they were conducting a “rescue” and had gathered on the second floor of the office building where the clinic is located to pray, sing hymns, and urge women not to go through with abortions. The peaceful protest was also live-streamed on Facebook, according to the Catholic News Agency (CNA).

Six of the activists have now been found guilty of a misdemeanor FACE Act charge, as well as a felony conspiracy against rights charge, which carries with it the possibility of up to 11 years in prison and fines up to $250,000. They include: Chester Gallagher, 73, of Lebanon, Tennessee; Heather Idoni, 58, of Michigan; Calvin Zastrow, 57, of Michigan; Coleman Boyd, 51, of Bolton, Mississippi; Dennis Green, 56, of Cumberland, Virginia; and Paul Vaughn, 55, of Centerville, Tennessee.

What an injustice.

On a good news note, Mark Houck was interviewed by Kyle Serpahim and I listened to the podcast. Here's the YouTube description and link:

"Today we speaking Mark Houck - a Catholic man, father, and target of the FBI Police State actions. His response to a frontal assault on his protected liberties was to take it to trial. And after being acquitted, he is running for Congress. Join us for a conversation with The Kingsmen founder and Congressional candidate - Mark Houck"
