Judge denies legal request of pro-life mom convicted of violating the FACE Act
Live Action News ^ | October 16, 2024 | Nancy Flanders

Pro-life activist and mother of a young daughter, Bevelyn Beatty Williams, announced on Tuesday that her stay of appeal request has been denied by the judge who sentenced her on charges of violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act (FACE Act), and that she is to report to federal prison in Alabama on Thursday. She will be in prison for at least a month as her attorney appeals the decision.

“I wanted to give you all an important update,” she wrote. “My legal team worked tirelessly to submit a stay of appeal so I could be home on bail while appealing this case for the sake of my daughter and husband. Unfortunately, the judge, who also sentenced me, denied the [stay of] appeal. I have now been assigned a federal facility to report to and must surrender tomorrow at FCI Aliceville.”

Williams will be surrendering to a non-violent, low-level facility for “unlawful assembly” for three and a half years. Her attorney, in the meantime, will appeal the judge’s denial for her to stay home as her full appeal goes to the appellate court. She hopes she will be able to return home in the next month to be with her family as she appeals her full conviction.

According to Williams, the judge told her that she was a danger to the streets and society and that’s why she refused her request to remain at home during the appeals process.

“So all of this about me being violent, all of this stuff like that, no, no. Don’t let the media play you. I’m going to jail and my category of offense is ‘unlawful assembly’. … I’m going to jail for three and a half years for unlawful assembly. I believe that speaks for itself.”

Williams was sentenced to 41 months in prison in violation of the FACE Act for her part in a two-day pro-life protest outside a New York City Planned Parenthood in June of 2020. Hers is the second longest sentence a pro-lifer has received in a long series of convictions that have taken place over the last year.

Williams said, “The good news is ministry doesn’t stop in jail. Did I want to go? Of course not. Do I want to go? No, I don’t. I don’t want to go. Cried about it a thousand times. I don’t even think I have enough tears to cry about it. I wanna be with my husband and my daughter, but that’s not happening right now.”

If you want to know who controls you, look at whom you’re not allowed to criticize. One of those groups are the Moloch worshippers.

A British man is being convicted for praying silently in an open area near an abortion facility.

https://notthebee.com/article/orwell-alert-british-man-literally-convicted-of-thoughtcrime-in-uk

Smith-Connor was confronted by officers who asked, 'what is the nature of your prayer?', on a public green within a large 'buffer zone' - an area covering several streets in the town - in which authorities have banned various expressions of pro-life or Christian belief, including through offering help to women in crisis pregnancies, or praying.

The FACE Act is fundamentally unconstitutional...


Not a lawyer nor a ‘constitutional scholar’, but wouldn’t the fact that SCOTUS has ruled that abortion is a state rather than a Federal matter render the FACE Act null?

Thank you for posting Red Badger.

"The FACE Act is fundamentally unconstitutional.........on its FACE................."


I fully agree.

FACE Act is based on the politically correct, desperate Democratic vote-winning "right" to have an abortion. So since Roe v. Wade has been overturned, all federal laws based on phony "constitutional right to have an abortion" need to be taken out of the books imo.

Pro-life Bevelyn Beatty Williams is an example imo of someone going to jail for breaking a federal law that Congress actually never had the express constitutional power to make imo.

And the question remains, how many people are in prison for breaking a federal law that Congress has never had the express constitutional power to make?

Since Congress and renegade states have repeatedly proven that they are enemies of the people imo, it is now up to Democratic and Republican Trump supporters to effectively "impeach and remove" ALL (exceptions?) state and federal lawmakers and executives in November.

In fact, it's up to us Trump supporters to take the first MAJOR step in draining the swamp by supporting hopeful Trump 47 with a new, Constitution-respecting Congress, new state lawmakers too, not only so that he will not be a lame duck president from the first day of his second term, but will support him to quickly finish draining the swamp.

Finally, let's not allow the anti-Trump media try to fade our memories of what we witnessed on July 13.

Lot of judges need a good beating and then need to get tossed into prison.

Some gunslingers in the Old West put notches on the door post for each varmint they killed. This judge is growing a mole for every non-violent baby-protector she imprisons.

The country cannot be saved at this point. A centerpiece of Trump’s presidency is pardoning and releasing the massive number of political prisoners.
