Biden’s Justice Bias: Pro-Life Activists Targeted!

The Trump Justice Department exposed how the Biden administration turned a neutral federal law into a weapon against pro-life Americans, revealing a two-tiered justice system that conservatives have long warned about.

Story Highlights

  • Trump DOJ’s 882-page report details Biden-era collaboration with pro-abortion groups to target pro-life activists under the FACE Act.
  • Biden prosecutors sought over twice the prison time for pro-life defendants (26.8 months average) compared to pro-abortion ones (12.3 months).
  • President Trump pardoned 23 pro-life activists in January 2025, followed by DOJ limiting FACE Act use to extreme cases only.
  • Report uncovers prosecutorial misconduct, including evidence withholding and religious bias in jury selection.
  • Three civil lawsuits against pro-life groups dismissed, vindicating claims of selective enforcement.

Report Uncovers Biden DOJ Collaboration with Advocacy Groups

On April 14, 2026, the Trump Justice Department released an 882-page report reviewing over 700,000 internal records. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche announced findings that the Biden administration collaborated closely with pro-abortion groups like the National Abortion Federation (NAF). NAF tracked pro-life activists’ First Amendment activities, compiled dossiers, and provided evidence leading to search warrants and FACE Act charges. Prosecutor Sanjay Patel called NAF security director Michelle Davidson an “MVP” for real-time incident reports that spurred investigations. Patel even offered to serve as a reference for NAF’s private grant application without ethics approval. This partnership blurred lines between federal enforcement and advocacy, raising questions about impartiality in a DOJ meant to serve all Americans equally.

Prosecutorial Misconduct and Sentencing Disparities Exposed

The report documents Biden DOJ prosecutors withholding evidence from defense counsel, attempting to screen jurors based on religion, and authorizing aggressive arrests instead of self-surrender. Enforcement targeted pro-life sidewalk counseling while ignoring vandalism against pregnancy resource centers and churches. Sentencing recommendations showed stark bias: 26.8 months average for pro-life defendants versus 12.3 months for pro-abortion counterparts. Such disparities undermine equal justice, fueling frustrations across political lines that government elites prioritize agendas over fair application of law. Americans on both sides see this as the deep state at work, eroding trust in institutions founded on blind justice and individual rights.

Trump Administration Delivers Pardons and Corrective Reforms

President Trump issued full pardons to 23 pro-life activists convicted under the FACE Act on January 23, 2025. The DOJ then dismissed three civil lawsuits with prejudice: United States v. Connolly, United States v. Zastrow, and United States v. Citizens for a Pro-Life Society. New policy limits FACE Act prosecutions to extraordinary cases involving death, serious harm, or major property damage. Personnel actions addressed responsible officials. Acting AG Blanche declared: “This Department will not tolerate a two-tiered system of justice. No Department should conduct selective prosecution based on beliefs.” These steps restore balance to a law originally protecting both abortion clinics and pregnancy centers.

Vindication for Pro-Life Advocates Amid Bipartisan Concerns

The Thomas More Society hailed the report as vindicating years of arguments that prosecutors gave the abortion lobby direct influence over enforcement. Monica Miller of Citizens for a Pro-Life Society celebrated the end of the “weaponized Biden administration DOJ.” While the FACE Act from 1994 aimed to curb violence at reproductive facilities, Biden-era practices allegedly ignored attacks on pro-life sites. Long-term, this sets precedent for probing prior abuses, questions prosecutor-advocacy ties, and signals reduced targeting of peaceful activism. Both conservatives decrying weaponized lawfare and liberals wary of elite overreach find common ground in demands for accountable government serving working Americans’ dreams, not special interests.
