The Biden-Harris Department of Justice secured a 41-month prison sentence for another pro-life activist — a 33-year-old wife and mother — for violating the controversial Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, also known as the FACE Act.
Bevelyn Beatty Williams was charged by the feds after she preached the Gospel outside of an abortion clinic and allegedly injured a clinic worker’s hand while blocking an entrance, the National Catholic Register reported.
Beatty Williams said on her GiveSendGo fundraiser page that she was targeted for exercising her Christian faith.
“I was persecuted as a Christian standing for my beliefs when it comes to life,” she wrote. “This is devastating news.”
The statement added that Judge Jennifer L. Rochon “made it very clear in the courtroom that she was going to make [an] example” out of the pro-lifer. “The concern of being a young mother, and a stay-at-home mother, was completely disregarded,” Beatty Williams said.
“[Judge Rochon] told me before sentencing me that I was young and that I would not be defined by my sentence, before making a conscious decision to take me away from my two-year-old daughter for three years,” she continued.
Beatty Williams noted that she has 60 days to appeal the case.

U.S. Attorney Damian Williams cheered the years-long sentence. “Bevelyn Beatty Williams repeatedly intimidated and interfered with individuals seeking and providing critical reproductive health services,” he said in a statement. “She did so by physically blocking access to clinics, threatening staff, and by force. This Office and our law enforcement partners are committed to ensuring that patients exercising their legal right to obtain reproductive health services, and healthcare facilities and their staff providing those services, can do so without unlawful interference or fear of threats or violence.”
The Biden-Harris DOJ has successfully prosecuted numerous pro-life activists under the controversial FACE Act. As highlighted by The Daily Wire just last month, the DOJ secured a two-year sentence for a 75-year-old activist named Paula Paulette Harlow for allegedly taking part in a “conspiracy” to block pregnant women from entering an abortion clinic in Washington, D.C.
