The U.S. Department of Justice released a report last week confirming what many pro-life Americans have suspected for years: the Biden Administration used the power of the federal government to target and punish people for their pro-life beliefs.
The report produced by the DOJ’s Weaponization Working Group reviewed more than 700,000 internal records. What it found is deeply troubling.
The Biden DOJ worked hand-in-hand with pro-abortion groups like Planned Parenthood and the National Abortion Federation to track pro-life activists, build dossiers on them, and push for their prosecution. Prosecutors withheld evidence from defendants, tried to screen religious people off juries, and pushed for sentences averaging more than two years in prison for pro-life defendants — more than twice the average sentence sought for violent pro-abortion offenders.
Meanwhile, attacks against pregnancy resource centers were ignored or downplayed.
President Trump issued pardons to many of the pro-lifers targeted by the Biden DOJ, and the current DOJ has dismissed several of those cases. That is the right call.
Arkansas families and churches should know that standing up for innocent human life is never wrong. We are grateful the record is finally being set straight.
