"We released 23 people that were unjustly put in and having to do with pro-life,” the president told reporters on Thursday. “And, they will be released, and they'll be out very shortly. It was disgraceful what happened."

“These heroic peaceful pro-lifers were treated shamefully by Biden’s DOJ, with many of them branded felons and losing many rights that we take for granted as American citizens. Today, their precious freedom is restored,” Steve Crampton, senior counsel to the Thomas More Society which submitted formal pardon requests on behalf of 21 of the convicted activists, said in a statement.
“What happened to them can never be erased, but today’s pardons are a huge step towards restoring justice. Thank you to President Trump and his team for righting these grievous wrongs of the previous administration.”
The Trump administration also put a stop to three pending cases against pro-life activists, LifeSiteNews reported.
On Friday, media outlets obtained a copy of a memo from Kathleen Wolf of the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division which stated that “future abortion-related FACE Act prosecutions and civil actions will be permitted only in extraordinary circumstances, or in cases presenting significant aggravating factors, such as death, serious bodily harm, or serious property damage.”
“Additionally, until further notice, no new abortion-related FACE Act actions criminal or civil — will be permitted without authorization from the Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division,” the memo also stated.
People who politically advocate for the to end the life of an unborn child under the pretext of woman's health are not burdened with the DNA of compassion. Many have an almost demonic driven desire to make sure every baby dies. If this is not true. There is little else to explain their zeal to make the death of the unborn a reality.
On the spiritual level Satan absolutely hates all of mankind. After all we are God's offspring created in His image. His hatred towards God is expressed in the destruction of God's children.
Jesus made this statement, John 10:10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I (Jesus) have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
God is the Creator, the Redeemer, and the Giver of eternal life, to all who believe in His Son and trust in Him. This is why people demonstrate against abortion. It is also why they are hated and despised for doing so. It's a spiritual thing. John 3:16.
The President and his staff went about this with great wisdom and they looked at the true intent of the law which was to protect people and property, which any just law would. If this wasn't what liberals wanted the law to it is now thank the Lord.
