House Subcommittee Scrutinizes FACE Act for Alleged Political Targeting of Pro-Life Advocates
Rep. Chip Roy, chairman of the House Subcommittee on the Constitution and Limited Government, held a hearing to examine the Biden-Harris Administration's use of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act. Roy argued that the law has been weaponized against conservatives and pro-life Americans living out their religious convictions. During the hearing, Roy highlighted the case of Eva Edl, a 91-year-old concentration camp survivor who faced prison time for non-violent protests at abortion clinics.
Supporters of the FACE Act criticized the hearing as an attempt to repeal a law that protects women from violence at health clinics. However, Roy maintained that the act represents an over-federalization of criminal law and is used for selective enforcement by the current administration. Following the hearing, Roy stated the effort is part of a broader goal to root out organizations working with Democrats to undermine conservative values.
