Biden’s DOJ brings suit against pro-life protesters who demonstrated in front of Planned Parenthood in 2022

The five pro-life activists being sued by the DOJ include Calvin Zastrow, Kenneth Scott, Chester Gallagher, Eva Zastrow, and Katelyn Sims.

In a press release from the DOJ, Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division stated, "These five defendants deliberately obstructed access to reproductive health services."

“Physically blocking those seeking or providing reproductive health services in order to impose their views is unlawful. The Justice Department will continue enforcing the FACE Act to protect against such obstruction," she added.

According to the lawsuit, the five activists were protesting next to the property of the Fort Myers Health Center, which has a Planned Parenthood inside. They protested against abortion and yelled at a Planned Parenthood employee that she was killing babies. They walked onto the property and despite police warnings "sat in front of the front door of the Fort Myers Health Center" in an attempt to stop abortions from happening. While they sat in front of the door, a patient arrived and they attempted to close the door but the abortion clinic employees were able to allow the patient into the clinic.

The lawsuit is another instance in a pattern of the Biden DOJ prosecuting or going after pro-life activists over FACE act violations.
