Prosecutors have taken action against a pro-life activist who barricaded himself in a Pennsylvania abortion clinic restroom, which required a SWAT team response.

The U.S. Department of Justice filed a civil lawsuit against Minnesota resident Matthew Connolly for violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act by participating in a Red Rose Rescue at an abortion clinic in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in August 2021.

The FACE Act subjects those who "by force or threat of force or by physical obstruction, intentionally injures, because that person is or has been" providing "reproductive health services" to federal charges.

I don't know how I feel about this. If he was outside the clinic protesting and praying, I would have supported him.

Inside? Eh.
