Pro-life advocate Bevelyn Beatty Williams has been sentenced to 3.5 years in federal prison for protesting outside a Planned Parenthood clinic. The Biden-Harris administration's Department of Justice (DOJ) has been heavily involved in prosecuting Williams, who has been charged with unlawful assembly. Her husband has publicly criticized the administration for what he perceives as targeting political opposition, stating, 'The Biden-Harris administration made me a single father.' This case has sparked controversy, as critics point out that no prison time has been served for the vandalism and firebombing of pregnancy centers following the Dobbs decision. Williams, a mother, turned herself in to federal authorities to begin her sentence. The DOJ has also been involved in related trials in DC, Nashville, and Detroit.
