Texas Republican Rep. Chip Roy and 25 House Republicans introduced a resolution Tuesday.
Texas Republican Rep. Chip Roy and 25 House Republicans introduced a resolution Tuesday to repeal the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act, a law that has been used extensively by the Biden administration to penalize pro-life activists.
Passed in 1994, the FACE Act imposes criminal penalties on individuals convicted of “violent, threatening, damaging, and obstructive conduct” that interferes with access to abortion facilities, places of worship, and pregnancy centers.
The resolution introduced by Roy in the House and sponsored by Utah Sen. Mike Lee in the Senate would repeal the FACE Act on the grounds that it is an unconstitutional use of federal power and that it has been weaponized against people of certain religious and political beliefs.
In a Monday press release, Roy said that “free Americans should never live in fear of their government targeting them because of their beliefs.
