I've noted there's one thing the Biden Justice Department and the FBI take very seriously: the FACE Act, or Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances. Thirty FBI agents will raid your home a full year after you allegedly pushed an abortion escort to the ground, which was thrown out in court.
As Jewish students are being physically blocked from entering college campuses across the country (and the protesters are being granted "amnesty", a pro-life activist is going to jail for nearly five years.

The AP reports:
Inside the clinic’s waiting room, [Lauren] Handy directed blockaders to link themselves together with locks and chains and block the doors. A co-defendant used social media to livestream the blockade, which lasted several hours before police arrested the participants.
Sounds familiar.
Perhaps she should block traffic instead next time. https://t.co/peL1q73Zz9

Maybe she should have just blocked Jewish kids from schools. That seems to be fine.

It's amazing the things that get one prison time nowadays compared to the things that don't.

Oh, so now illegally blocking things is illegal?

You can block highways and bridges in the name of Palestine or climate change with no repercussions. But there's a special federal law protecting abortion clinics.
She should have just blocked traffic.

Blockades are criminal??

She should have burned a police precinct to the ground. Kamala would have bailed her out and she would not have been punished.

If she had burned down a police station for a Minneapolis meth addict or rioted in favor of pushing Jews into the sea, she’d probably have a job in Joe Biden’s corruot DOJ instead of being persecuted by it. What an absolute abomination. https://t.co/Hmydf6d0Ky

You can block traffic for Gaza, or climate change, or Black Lives Matter, and get away with a warning. What if one of those cars being blocked on the Golden Gate Bridge by Hamas sympathizers was a woman trying to get to an abortion clinic? Wouldn't she have a case?
