Eleven year sentence for a non violent sit-in action. Absurd. We posted more about this here. Today – "Five pro-life activists found guilty of FACE Act violations in DC"<\/a><\/p>\n

Lila Rose founded Live Action<\/a> in 2003 when she was 15 years old. We have printed her statement – video below the statement.<\/p>\n

Lila Rose, founder and president of Live Action, released the following statement in reaction to the verdict: \u201cFrom the beginning, This trial has been a sham with a completely biased pro-abortion judge who has made a mockery of our justice system. This decision will be appealed, and we demand it be overturned. These activists are heroes, and the Department of Justice has acted capriciously and illegitimately. These charges stem from the FACE Act, which exists to target and chill the free speech of pro-life Americans. Their acts of bravery to protect innocent human life from notorious D.C. abortionist Cesare Santangelo have been punished by the corrupt DOJ. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Santangelo\u2019s Washington Surgi-Clinic is known for being a late-term abortion facility, surgically killing babies that are well past viability outside of their mother and Santangelo has even been caught on camera by Live Action stating his willingness to withhold medical care from infants born alive after a botched abortion, a violation of federal law. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly refused to admit into evidence the Live Action investigation video showing the abortionist Cesare Santangelo, in his own words, stating his willingness to let a living child outside of the womb die from neglect and lack of medical attention. This is also the same judge who recently suggested that the 13th Amendment to the constitution\u2019s ban on \u201cinvoluntary servitude\u201d may confer a right to abortion, comparing the beauty of pregnancy and motherhood with the horror of slavery. I stand with these activists who have been unjustly convicted and demand authentic justice for these advocates working to end the barbaric killing of abortion.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
