An atheist pro-life activist pardoned by President Donald Trump following a federal prison sentence for violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act believes the Republican leader’s actions may make it harder to appeal the conviction.

In May, U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly sentenced Geraghty to 27 months in federal prison, with the activist serving 17 months before receiving a pardon from Trump.
