Trump Pardons Pro-Life Activists, Sparks National Debate
Former President Donald Trump issued a sweeping clemency order pardoning pro-life activists jailed under the Biden administration, fulfilling a campaign promise to address what he calls “politically motivated” prosecutions. Among those pardoned were activists convicted under the FACE Act for blocking abortion clinic access during protests. The move, announced ahead of the March for Life, also includes January 6 defendants and has reignited debate over the use of executive power, free speech, and the future of the FACE Act. Critics call it a threat to reproductive rights, while supporters see it as a stand for justice and free expression.
