For protesting peacefully in front of an abortion facility in 2021, six pro-lifers have been found guilty in court. Now each one faces as long as a decade in prison, on top of some large fines.

From The Daily Wire. Six pro-lifers were found guilty on Tuesday after the Biden administration charged them over a peaceful protest at a Tennessee abortion facility in 2021. They face up to 10.5 years in prison.

Pray for your fellow intercessor.

 

The pro-life activists were accused by the Department of Justice of violating the FACE Act and civil rights conspiracy for a protest that took place in a hallway outside of a Mount Juliet abortion provider on March 5, 2021. On that day, a group of demonstrators gathered on the second floor of an office building in the hallway outside the Carafem Health Center Clinic. …

Those on trial included Chet Gallagher of Tennessee, Coleman Boyd of Mississippi, Heather Idoni of Michigan, Cal Zastrow of Michigan, Paul Vaughn of Tennessee, and Dennis Green of Virginia.

All six defendants were found guilty of both counts. They are expected to be sentenced in July.

The conspiracy charge can be punished with up to 10.5 years in prison, three years of supervised release, and fines of up to $260,000 while the FACE Act charge can lead to one year in prison and a $10,000 fine. …

From The Daily Wire. Anger erupted online on Tuesday following the Biden Department of Justice’s successful prosecution of another six pro-life protesters, who now face more than a decade behind bars and hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines. …

“A grand total of zero people have ever been arrested for protesting outside the houses of Supreme Court justices after Roe was overturned, which is a federal crime. But peaceful pro-lifers now face 11 years in jail for praying outside an abortion clinic,” conservative strategist Greg Price posted Tuesday, emphasizing the apparently politically biased application of federal laws.

Daily Wire podcast host and author Matt Walsh blasted the DOJ for its “full on Soviet style corruption and persecution.” …

Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) suggested the FACE Act “is being used by the DOJ to punish pro-life protesters but not their pro-abortion counterparts.”

“Is the FACE Act sufficiently well written, fairly administered, and clearly appropriate as an exercise of federal lawmaking authority? I believe the answer to that question is ‘no’—on all three points,” Lee wrote on X. …

The Biden DOJ has ramped up its prosecution of pro-life protesters since the start of the president’s term. One of the first cases that drew attention to the matter was the targeting of Catholic pro-life father of seven Mark Houck, who was arrested and had his home raided by an estimated 20 FBI agents in front of his children. Houck was ultimately acquitted by a jury after about an hour of deliberation, and the family is now suing the DOJ for millions of dollars. …

President Joe Biden, however, seems to be leaning into pro-abortion messaging. Since just last week, Biden has tweeted from his personal account about abortion and the overturning of Roe v. Wade eight different times. Additionally, Vice President Kamala Harris is currently on an abortion tour called the “Fight for Reproductive Freedoms” tour.

Lord God Almighty, I am asking You in the name of Your Son to help and comfort those who have been convicted unjustly for praying. I also ask that You will give them courage. Father I ask that You will allow an appeal to win so they will be set free. Thank You Father for You love and mercy, Amen

Of course our current judges are going to convict and drop the hammer on protesters who cause no damage to property. Yet blm and antifa can destroy property and even physically harm people and law enforcement will turn their backs. Judges and prosecutors and police alike. So sad. If you are in law enforcement ask God for guidance and help doing nothing is killing the USA

Lord God Almighty 🙏, you said in the book of Revelation that the times we are living are certainly times of lawlessness throughout our government. We are certainly living it!! Please protect the pro-life people by providing strength and courage throughout this spiritual warfare! You are the only way, AMEN 🙏!

Lord, Heavenly Father, thank You for precious life. We look to You for the model of what to do in regard to the unborn. You are the Father of life. You have stitched us in the womb. When we went awry, You did not abort us, but sent down Your very own Son to die on the cross so we could live. Although the six pro-life protesters in their actions pale in comparison with Your sons, they are on the right page, a page that comes out of the Book of Life. They sacrificed much for their convictions that the unborn have a voice that allows them to live. Lord, hold them in Your hands. Give them grace for their suffering, grit to continue to stand by their conviction, and, finally, the overturning of the outrageous persecution set against them. Also, Lord, because of their efforts, we pray that many unborn will be saved. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Father, we pray that you will quickly vindicate these pro-lifers who were protesting peacefully in front of an abortion clinic. What the enemy meant for evil, thank you for turning this matter around for your good, so everyone will
know that we serve an awesome, all powerful God that fights for His children and wins every time. In Jesus name, amen.

Matthew 10:16
King James Version

16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.

We are in a war pure and simple! The first thing to do in a war is to learn your enemy! We are not blm who can destroy cities, nor are we the plants that caused chaos on January 6th! We know satan is using the entire biden group! We know that they hate us! We know that a federal law was broken outside the Justices houses and that nothing was done! These biden people are filthy dreamers and satanic! So WHY would life protesters block a door inside a building? I would have stayed outside with my signs and songs, trusting GOD to convey the message! Stop giving the devil ammunition to use against you! We must do better and smarter! FATHER GOD please do not let the people go to jail for this action! Satan I bind you and every demon sent to buffet GOD’S children! I command that this ILLEGAL verdict be set aside and the people be set free in JESUS NAME! Give us knowledge of witty inventions FATHER GOD so we will know how to be effective for YOUR Kingdom! FATHER GOD please once again show YOURSELF Strong on our behalf and let these pro-life six go free in the MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS! Amen!

To carry out a peaceful protest outside a building, where there is space so one can safely go around it, is one thing. To do it in an indoor hallway lacks decency and respect. Treat others as you would like them to treat you.
And of course, they will not get ten years – don’t be ridiculous.

      Thank you, Susan, for your reply. Given the nature of the crime I don’t imagine a custodial sentence would even be considered and only a minor punishment inflicted.
      Imagine if a young daughter of yours had been brutally raped, was now suicidal, and you were attending this clinic, only to be confronted by the ‘righteous’ protesters in a corridor.
      Thankfully Christ came for sinners. His warnings of Hell were directed to the self-righteous and religious.
      Grace and peace to you

    You are correct. These protestors have clearly breached the boundaries for protests. I have partaken in protests against abortion, but we have always been across the street. Otherwise, we would be breaching the physical boundaries and inviting problems in our efforts for the unborn children.
    Their hearts were in the right place, but unfortunately their actions could be seen as confrontational.
    We need to be smarter in our battles and pray before taking action.

On 2/23/22 Alexander Adams, bipolar man with a history of violent assaults knocked down an elderly woman and beat her with a cane. Her head hit the concrete sidewalk. She is now a vegetable. He only got sentenced to 8 years. And the peaceful pro-life protesters are getting 10??? And many Jan-6-ers are still in jail, not being given a speedy trial. LORD PLEASE MAKE AMERICA GODLY AGAIN!! Bring the Revival!!!

The present corrupt administration continues it flagrant abuse of power. We are commanded to continue to pray those in authority. My prayers have changed considerably in the last 3 years as I have watched the Biden administration absolutely support murder and use our justice system for every type of criminal action imaginable. Whatever justice that comes upon the administration is up to God. Though no one is beyond salvation, it seems this administration has willingly & knowingly partnered with hell. I really don’t buy the “they’ve been deceived” argument. Their track record indicates that everything they do is by design. They know the truth of what they should do but refuse to take that road.

In the meantime, Biden, the brilliant incompetent idiot president stands by and allows US ships, and other US structures to be attacked unrestrained in the Red Sea region, etc. He’d much rather go after innocent US protestors standing up for the lives of the unborn. Is it surprising that Biden’s numbers have crashed? He’s the most useless incompetent president this country has ever had. I’ve heard it stated that Biden is even worse than Carter.

    He IS worse than Carter . . . at least Carter didn’t sanction and promote abortion till the 9th month of pregnancy. This is pure EVIL! May we as a nation humbly repent and return to God.

    Dear Lord . . Your will be done . . . Amen

Contact the D.O.J. and let them know that they overstepped their bounds in this case. Also, in many other cases. They are out of control. They need to know that the people of this country are watching and keeping tabs. Voting, letters, emails and phone calls are noted by these organizations/departments. Use your rights to peacefully protest what is going on. This is truly unacceptable. I called yesterday when CBN requested we call. Boots on the grain after we pray. Blessings.

You, my heavenly father, gave us life, and all life is considered precious, I beseech you to intervene, and help us to defeat the killing of babies. I do not call abortion, in aborting babies, I see these procedures ad killing a life. I asked all these things in your sons name Christ, the Lord, amen

Lord deliver the Tennessee Six (and therefore the rest of us) from perverted justice and unrighteousness judges.
May You convict the heart and spirit of the judge in their case, may You visit him/her personally, may You surround him/her with counsel from You, may You make Truth clear and cause that person to tremble with a terrible dread at the very thought of corrupting justice in this way he/she is poised to do.
Strengthen and bless the Tennessee Six, that they will have no fear, they will not be discouraged. Meet their every need. We stand in agreement with the prayer and worship that they spoke and sang to you at that abortion clinic, and we ask that You would show the workers there the reality of the murder they commit, that the violence is all theirs, that they would not be able to continue it, that they would come to you in repentance, that the site would be unblessed, that the clinic would have to close down because of insurmountable difficulties that fall upon it.
We pray that the mother of every unborn child that would otherwise have died in the clinic would instead be diverted to resources and support and help that will keep them BOTH alive.
Oh God of the impossible, we ask you for this impossible thing.
And thank you for the great courage of the Tennessee Six who have put themselves on the front lines of this battle and are taking fire on our behalf.

the world says…
…violence and murder is legal but peaceful protest it is not….
…lawlessness is crime but goes unpunished…
…don’t say Jesus Christ (in reverence)….
…don’t pray…

the Word says…
Woe to those who call evil good and good evil…
Woe to those who are wise in their own opinion and clever in their own sight….
The Lord’s anger burns against His people…. Isaiah 5:20,21,25

Dear Lord and God, I believe I was led to Isaiah 33 to model Your Word in prayer for these men and women. I pray for them and all men, women and children who are suffering for the love of Christ.

O Lord, be gracious to us! We wait for You. Be our strength every morning and our salvation in time of trouble. You are exalted over all creation… it is ALL Yours.
Arise over our nation Lord. You are just and right, the Giver of salvation, wisdom and knowledge. You are The Judge. You are The Lawgiver. You are The King, You who will save us. May the wicked be afraid. May Your consuming fire bring saturating fear to the ungodly…the fear of the Lord is our treasure! You are El Sali, our rock, our fortress and our deliverer. We take refuge in You alone, our shield, the horn of our salvation, our stronghold, our All in All. Thank You Father. Thank You Jesus. Thank You Holy Spirit. Amen

Personalized from Isaiah 33, Psalm 18:2

I ask You Father to work in the hearts of the people that accused them of a crime when we know in our country prayer is a fundamental right given to us by You and our Constitution. I ask for you our Almighty God to move on their behalf, so they can return to their homes, families and the work you called them to. I trust you Father

Father, Justice, like vengeance, is best when you are judge, lawgiver and King. We declare Your justice, legal authority, and watchful care over Your beloved friends. May they, like Apostle Paul, submit even to rogue authority yet become victorious. If in prison may their singing softly cause weeping conviction, their cries to appeal to heaven awaken that same need in others and Holy Spirit guard their words of life from heaven to reveal their own need but stirring the waters of all around them. Let it begin in the courtroom at sentencing. Prepare the Way of the Lord.

Woe unto those that call evil good and good evil. That put darkness for light and light for darkness. That put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. Father we stand on your word and your promises to your children. Vindicate and fight for these six and for all of those who are doing your work by protecting the babies. The Lord is my light and my Salvaion, of whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life, of whom shall I be afraid? When the wicked even mine enemies and my foes came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell. Though an host encamp against me, my heart will not fear; though war rise up against me in this will I be confident. One thing have I desired of the Lord that I will seek after, That I will dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, behold the beauty of the Lord and enquire in his tabernacle. In the time of trouble he will hide me in his pavillion, in the secret of his tabernacle will he hide me, he will set me up upon a rock (Psalms 27 1-5) Father you did this for David and I know that you are NO LESS a savior and protector/provider now. You are the same today, yesterday and forever, and I ask that you demonstrate this protection over these persecuted servants of yours. Your will be done and to you be ALL glory and praise.
