House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, argued that the Department of Justice and the FBI are selectively enforcing the FACE Act and other laws in ways that target pro-life activists and conservatives but let pro-abortion and left-wing activists off the hook.
Nota — who reportedly identifies as a transgender female — entered into a plea agreement in March with the DOJ. In the agreement, Nota pled guilty to a misdemeanor charge of destruction to religious property.
An arrest has been made in the March 16 act of vandalism committed at a pro-life pregnancy center in Amherst, New York, the same clinic that was seriously damaged in an arson attack in June 2022.
The charges come amid a wave of FACE Act charges from the Biden DOJ that have targeted several pro-life activists across the nation.
The investigation will operate under the House Judiciary Committee and be chaired by Ohio Republican Rep. Jim Jordan.
EDITORIAL: Despite its original intention to protect abortion, the Department of Justice is now being forced to utilize federal legislation against pro-abortion extremists.
A NOTE FROM THE PUBLISHER: The news that the FBI is going to investigate attacks on crisis pregnancy centers and Catholic churches is a welcome, if overdue, development.
‘It was all very shocking. No one can believe the federal government would do something like this,’ said Paul Vaughn, who is facing alleged violations of the federal Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act.
A NOTE FROM THE PUBLISHER: Recent dramatic arrests of pro-life activists beg scrutiny over the political biases at work as more than a 100 violent acts against churches and pro-life facilities have seemingly escaped federal attention.
Recent raids on pro-life families with young children have left attorneys and lawmakers questioning the Biden administration’s legal tactics.
