Friend,   CatholicVote has been very vocal about injustices suffered by pro-lifers at the hands of Joe Biden’s Department of Justice. People like Mark Houck, who was targeted for defending his son from a verbally abusive abortion clinic escort. CatholicVote presented him with an award for his bravery in standing against the government's attempt to ruin him in court.   Mark was found not guilty and then sued the DOJ, winning a substantial settlement. Now, thanks to the current DOJ, he and others like him have further vindication. DOJ’s Office of Legal Policy has released 800-plus pages under the title, The Biden Administration's Weaponization of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act.   The report offers proof that the Biden DOJ, run by then Attorney General Merrick Garland, systematically targeted pro-life individuals through abuse of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act (FACE Act).   <<Help us fight government injustice against pro-lifers.>>   Among the report’s findings: Biased enforcement of the FACE Act. Under the Biden DOJ, abortion mills received extensive support while attacks against pregnancy resource centers were downplayed. After the National Task Force on Violence Against Reproductive Health Care Providers was revived, the Task Force Director was in regular, ongoing contact with pro-abortion non-governmental organizations, disregarding pro-life groups. Pro-abortion groups also used their relationship with the Task Force to gain internal information and push targets for FACE Act enforcement. Also, the security team at the National Abortion Federation was considered an important source for information about protests the NAF believed the DOJ should look into.   Collaboration with pro-abortion groups to track pro-lifers’ First Amendment activity. The DOJ task force collaborated with abortion groups in tracking targeted pro-lifers’ “1st Amendment protected activity.” Even when the FBI flagged this problem, the task force continued the practice.   Inappropriate conduct and comments. Biden DOJ prosecutors withheld evidence about historical FACE Act prosecutions requested by defense counsel in a Tennessee case, actually lying about the availability of such information, even though ‘substantially identical information” was shared with the National Abortion Federation. In a Michigan case, the Biden administration tried to screen out jurors based on religion.   <<Restore respect for ethical behavior in government.>>   More severe charges and significantly harsher sentences for pro-life defendants than pro-abortion defendants. The average sentence requested for pro-life defendants was 26.8 months. For pro-choice defendants? Just 12.3 months. Actual sentences handed down for pro-lifers was 14 months on average. For pro-choicers? Just three months.    Helping pro-abortion groups secure funding. In a glaring conflict of interest, the DOJ Task Force Director served as a reference on a National Abortion Federation application for a huge private grant. Investigators found no evidence of clearance being given for a DOJ attorney to be involved in a financial outcome for a party involved in DOJ investigations. The report also mentions that it is unlikely the DOJ even has the authority to grant such clearance.   This report is nothing short of a triumph for the pro-life cause in the United States—a cause championed by people like you, who are friends of CatholicVote.   Congratulations, one and all!   Go forward bravely, Kelsey Reinhardt President & CEO CatholicVote P.S.
