The Tennessean reported:
Eleven people face federal charges for their role in blocking the entrance of a Mount Juliet reproductive health clinic during an anti-abortion protest in 2021, including a Lebanon man who now faces a separate federal lawsuit for a July 2022 protest at the same clinic.
A federal grand jury indicted the 11 on violations of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act, which prohibits even temporary interference with reproductive health care services.
The group livestreamed their protest, which they called a “rescue,” outside the doors of the Mount Juliet carafem clinic on March 5, 2021, with several members physically blocking a patient and employee from accessing the clinic, according to court documents.
Seven people were charged with conspiracy against rights secured by the FACE Act and committing FACE Act violations.
Meanwhile BLM and Antifa terrorists are freely walking around after burning buildings to the ground, causing billions in damage and killing more than 20 people during the 2020 George Floyd riots.
