Repeal of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act
Rep. Chip Roy and Sen. Mike Lee introduced a bill in 2023 to repeal the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act, which they believe has been weaponized by the Biden administration against pro-life activists. The DOJ has used the FACE Act to prosecute more pro-life activists than pro-abortion activists, leading to concerns about free speech and life protections. The data shows a significant imbalance in the prosecution of cases under the FACE Act, with the Biden administration accounting for a large portion of these cases.
