President Donald Trump is expected to pardon 21 pro-life activists imprisoned under the Biden Administration's enforcement of the FACE Act within days, according to reports. The activists, including Lauren Handy who was sentenced to 57 months in prison, were convicted for their involvement in protests at abortion clinics. Prominent figures, such as Senator Josh Hawley—who recently spoke with the President—and various pro-life organizations have urged for these pardons, alleging that the activists were unfairly targeted and politically persecuted. A spokesperson stated, "Their plight is an immediate priority."
