DOJ Report Confirms Biden Administration Weaponized Federal Law Against Pro-Lifers
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.

Family Council Joins Letter Urging DOJ to Address Abortion Drugs
On Monday, Family Council joined a coalition of pro-life leaders from around the nation in a letter urging the U.S. Department of Justice to address abortion drugs.
Arkansas law generally prohibits abortion except to save the life of the mother, and it is a crime for an abortionist to mail abortion drugs like RU-486 into the state. But under President Biden, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration began allowing mail-order abortion drugs. Pro-abortion states have also enacted “shield laws” for abortionists who mail abortion drugs into states like Arkansas.
All of that has undermined Arkansas’ good, pro-life laws that protect women and unborn children from abortion.
Monday’s letter from 78 different pro-life organizations pointed this out, saying:
Pro-life states cannot meaningfully enforce their laws when FDA is siding with mail-order abortionists and DOJ is siding with abortion drug manufacturers. Virtually every state has some law on the books that makes the current mail-order abortion regime unlawful, even basic laws like practicing medicine without a license. Yet abortionists protected by so-called “shield laws” ship drugs nationally with impunity, pointing to FDA for cover. …
When abortion drugs are available through the mail, there is no accountability, state laws are made impotent, and women and girls are hurt. This is a harmful and politically dangerous path.
New evidence shows that abortion drugs are much more dangerous than the FDA previously thought.
A recent study by the experts at the Ethics and Public Policy Center found abortion drugs are at least 22 times more dangerous than the U.S. Food and Drug Administration labeling indicates. Nearly 11% of women experience serious health complications from abortion pills — including sepsis, infection, and life-threatening hemorrhage.
These drugs should not be available at all — much less through the mail.
Family Council is pleased to join with so many other excellent groups who are willing to stand up for innocent human life. We hope our federal officials will take swift action to protect women and unborn children from abortion drugs.
