CWN Editor's Note: Five pro-life activists have been convicted of violating the Freedom of Access to Clinics (FACE) Act, and could face up to ten years in prison, for their October 2020 “rescue” blockade at an abortion clinic in Washington, DC.
The defendants—Lauren Handy, William Goodman, John Hinshaw, Heather Idoni, and Herb Geraghty—had entered the Washington Surgi-Clinic in a bid to persuade women not to abort their children. They were convicted, in a jury trial, of preventing free access to the clinic.
