Biden-Harris DOJ jails pro-life black mother for speaking the Gospel outside abortion facility

CV NEWS FEED // Bevelyn Beatty Williams turned herself in to federal prison on Wednesday after the Biden-Harris Department of Justice charged her with violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act for preaching the Gospel outside of a New York abortion facility.

Before surrendering herself into federal custody, Wiliams and her husband, Ricky Williams, released a video on Facebook and TikTok detailing how the ordeal has affected their family.

“Thanks to the Biden/ Harris administration. My husband is becoming a single father today,” wrote Williams. “While I turn myself into federal prison for 3 1/2 years for unlawful assembly. The ‘Pro’ black presidential candidate and vice president is destroying a black family and could care less about it.”

The administration’s charges against Williams stemmed from an incident when she was preaching outside of an abortion facility in Manhattan, New York, and allegedly blocked the entrance and injured the hand of one of the abortion workers.

According to the Department of Justice:

At various times on June 19 and 20, 2020, WILLIAMS stood directly in front of the Health Center entrances. WILLIAMS initially blocked the main entrance used by patients, causing the Health Center to have to divert patients to enter through the staff entrance. WILLIAMS responded by moving to block the staff entrance and directing others to do the same.

The pro-life activist was sentenced to three years and five months in February following a years-long legal battle with the state of New York. Williams attempted to appeal the ruling in July, but U.S. District Judge Jennifer L. Rochon, who was appointed by President Joe Biden, denied the appeal.

Reflecting on the sentence Williams stated:

Today, on July 24th, at the Southern District Court, Judge Rochan sentenced me to 41 months in prison for violation of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act. I was persecuted as a Christian standing for my beliefs when it comes to life. This is devastating news. Not only is this bond extensive for the accused crime, but she made it very clear in the courtroom that she was going to an make example out of me. The concern of being a young mother, and a stay-at-home mother, was completely disregarded.

In recent years the Biden-Harris administration has used the FACE Act to maximalize convictions and sentencing for pro-life activists, turning misdemeanors into felonies. Many of those targeted have been Catholics.

The FACE Act makes makes federal offenders of anyone who,

[by] force or threat of force or by physical obstruction, intentionally injures, intimidates or interferes with or attempts to injure, intimidate or interfere with any person because that person is or has been, or in order to intimidate such person or any other person or any class of persons from, obtaining or providing reproductive health services.

Williams, a convert to Christianity, had previously received her first of several abortions at age 15, which she says led her down a “self-destructive” path.

Williams experienced her conversion after being arrested for money laundering, which led her to create At Well Ministries. Williams’ ministry specifically focuses on street ministry and pro-life activism.

Now, Williams’ two-year-old daughter and husband will be separated from her for over three years while she serves her sentence.

Williams’ husband reflected on his family’s new reality. “No person, no American citizen should have to experience this in this country,” he said.

Obama has the audacity to speak to black men and tell black men they need to vote for Kamala Harris when Kamala Harris administration is separating me from my wife and my wife from her daughter at two years old for unlawful assembly.

“I want people to know in this country that mothers, fathers, single fathers, single mothers, that this cannot be tolerated,” Williams continued. “And you should not vote for Kamala because voting for Kamala would do things like this, right? It’s unacceptable.”

Williams then encouraged Americans to vote for Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump instead of Harris:

This is what she is doing to black families in this country. She’s been doing this even in California if you look at her record, So Americans go out and vote, but I encourage y’all, I implore y’all to vote for number 45, Donald Trump.

Bevelyn also posted on X (formerly Twitter) one final time about her family:

My family and I remain hopeful and are trusting God through this challenging time. The Bible is clear that persecution will happen, but ministry continues, even in prison. Our job as Christians is to be a light, especially in dark places.

My legal team is still working on several things, but for now, this is where I need to be.

Please don’t forget to vote and do all you can to elect leaders who stand for justice. Keep praying for me. I love you all and appreciate your continued support.

Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, while evil people and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.

II Tim. 3:12, 13

Has happened since NT times, now in a neighborhood near you.

President Jefferson is considered the father of Democratic party.
Till this day, Democrats celebrate Jefferson-Jackson day, to remind themselves about the founders.
On the other hand, the GOP party day is called Lincoln day.

When Green activists or Antifa block road, they walk, or get charged with some misdemeanor at worst.
So blocking abortion clinics should be treated the same.

Notice the Dems passed an act that was limited to freedom of access to abortion clinics...and not a more general act for freedom of movement into say, businesses being protested or looted ... bridges being blocked by leftwing protesters, or perks being occupied by the OWS or Antifa.

Liberals are all about unhindered access to human slaughterhouses but not about freedom of movement for American citizens.
