Four Anti-Abortion Activists Convicted for 2021 Clinic Blockade

The final four of 11 charged with violating the FACE Act, face up to six months in prison and fines.

  • Four anti-abortion activists were convicted of violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act for blocking a Tennessee clinic's entrance in 2021.
  • The convicted individuals face up to six months in prison, five years of supervised release, and up to $10,000 in fines.
  • The blockade was part of a larger demonstration against abortion, with six others convicted on more serious charges earlier.
  • The FACE Act prohibits obstructing access to reproductive health services, with violations resulting in significant penalties.
  • This case marks the second round of convictions related to the 2021 blockade, following a landmark Supreme Court abortion decision.
