A draft Department of Justice report reportedly concludes the Biden administration weaponized federal law to prosecute non-violent pro-life Christians while ignoring violent attacks on churches and pregnancy centers, according to activists who reviewed the embargoed document.

Selective Prosecution Claims Surface in Internal Review

The draft Department of Justice report reviewed by pardoned pro-life activists Terrisa Bukovinac and Randall Terry in March 2026 allegedly documents how the Biden administration “shattered trust” by targeting Christians for prosecution under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act. The activists claim the report exposes systematic bias against traditional Christian views on abortion while the same DOJ ignored violent attacks on pro-life facilities. Trump pardoned approximately 24 individuals prosecuted under FACE in 2025, including 87-year-old Eva Ed, who faced charges for singing and praying outside an abortion clinic. The report remains officially embargoed pending release.

Stark Enforcement Disparities Documented

During Biden’s tenure from 2021 to 2025, the DOJ prosecuted roughly 24 pro-life activists under FACE for non-violent activities like blockades, prayer vigils, and singing outside abortion facilities. Meanwhile, pro-life organizations documented over $500,000 in damages from attacks including the June 2022 firebombing of Compass Care pregnancy center in Buffalo, allegedly by the group Jane’s Revenge. Despite offering rewards and coordinating with Catholic bishops, the DOJ secured no prosecutions for these violent incidents. Congresswoman Harriet Hageman of Wyoming characterized this as a “double standard” that empowers anti-life extremists while persecuting people of faith exercising their constitutional rights.

Historical Context Reveals Shifting Priorities

The FACE Act, signed by President Clinton in 1994 with bipartisan support, was originally intended to protect both abortion clinics and places of worship from violence following murders and bombings targeting abortion providers. During the Clinton administration, enforcement averaged 10 to 17 prosecutions annually, dropping to approximately two per year under President Bush. The law explicitly covers attacks on religious facilities and pro-life centers equally with abortion clinics. National Abortion Federation data shows violence declined significantly after FACE’s enactment, crediting federal enforcement with deterring the bombings and arsons that characterized the pre-1994 era.

Political Battle Lines Harden Over Religious Liberty

The enforcement controversy intensified following the Supreme Court’s 2022 Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade, which triggered both increased pro-life protests at abortion facilities and retaliatory attacks on pregnancy centers and churches. Representative Hageman has cosponsored legislation with Representative Chip Roy to repeal FACE entirely, arguing it has become a tool for anti-religious persecution rather than violence prevention. At a 2023 House hearing, DOJ officials defended their enforcement record as balanced, denying any selective targeting of pro-lifers. However, Republican lawmakers presented cases like Paul Vaughn, prosecuted for praying outside a clinic, as evidence of weaponization against Christians expressing deeply held religious convictions through peaceful demonstration.

And of course, those handy-dandy pro-abortion groups were more than happy to help.

This dispute reflects broader concerns among Americans across the political spectrum about government agencies prioritizing political agendas over equal justice under law. Whether protecting free speech and religious exercise or ensuring access to medical facilities, citizens increasingly question whether federal law enforcement serves the people or partisan interests. The pending official release of the DOJ report may provide concrete evidence to evaluate these competing claims, though the damage to institutional credibility among pro-life Americans appears substantial regardless of the document’s final conclusions.
