During a June 22 speech<\/a> to the Faith and Freedom Coalition, former President Donald Trump said that if elected to the presidency again, he would pardon the pro-life activists currently serving jail time for a sit-in style protest at an infamous late abortion facility in Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n

As reported by the Catholic News Agency<\/a>, during his speech, Trump specifically mentioned one of the activists, 75-year-old Paulette Harlow, who was sentenced<\/a> to 24 months in prison for conspiracy to violate civil rights and violation of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act. Harlow had been on house arrest due to poor health<\/a> following her November 2023 conviction, but Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly sentenced her to serve out the remainder of her 24-month sentence in federal prison, followed by 36 months of supervised release.<\/p>\n

“Paulette is one of many peaceful pro-lifers who Joe Biden has rounded up, sometimes with SWAT teams, and thrown them in jail,” said Trump. “Many people are in jail over this.\u00a0 …We’re going to get that taken care of immediately \u2014 first day.”<\/p>\n

He continued by saying he would “rapidly review the cases of every political prisoner who\u2019s unjustly victimized by the Biden regime, including Paulette, so we can get them out of the gulags and back to their families where they belong.\u201d<\/p>\n
