Pro-lifer sentenced to 41 months in jail on FACE Act charges after Biden DOJ prosecution
A pro-life advocate was sentenced to 41 months in jail (3.4 years) on Wednesday morning after trying to save the lives of unborn babies by blocking the entrance to a Planned Parenthood abortion center in Manhattan.
The sentencing is punishment for charges brought against Bevelyn Beatty Williams in December 2022: Conspiracy to violate the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act, as well as violating the FACE Act through “force, threats of force, and physical obstruction, resulting in bodily harm.”
The federal charges stem from the fact that Williams, along with her friend and fellow pro-life activist Edmee Chavannes, sought to stop women from aborting their babies in multiple states, including Florida, Tennessee, Georgia, and Brooklyn, New York. The charges alleging “bodily harm” by Williams pertain to an incident at Planned Parenthood Manhattan Health Center, a euphemistic name that obscures the fact that innocent unborn babies are killed through abortion there...
The pro-life advocate was initially sued by Letitia James, New York’s Attorney General, with allegations of FACE violations, but was able to “settle without admission of guilt.” After these state charges, similar federal charges were brought against her and Chavannes by Damian Williams, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York.
On February 22, 2024, Williams was convicted of one count of violating the FACE Act after a nine-day trial before U.S. District Judge Jennifer L. Rochon, a Biden appointee, who imposed the sentence on Wednesday. Williams was also sentenced to two years of supervised release following her jail term.
Speaking to LifeSiteNews on Tuesday evening, Williams said that she and other Christian pro-lifers are being targeted for prosecution as revenge for the Dobbs v. Jackson decision that overturned Roe v. Wade.
