May 21, 2025 Republican Members of the House Judiciary Committee: Today, the House Judiciary Committee must do its part to support President Trump’s effort to end the weaponization of government. We, as leaders of the pro-life movement, strongly encourage you to vote yes on today’s markup of Representative Chip Roy’s H.R. 589, the FACE Act Repeal Act of 2025. President Trump is undertaking a massive effort to end the weaponization of the federal government. Repealing the FACE Act in its entirety is an excellent step in ensuring that never again will pro-life activists have the FBI knock on their front door simply for standing up for the most vulnerable in society.

Since its inception, 97% of all FACE Act cases have been brought against pro-lifers. The first time the federal government brought FACE Act charges against a pro-abortion activist was only after Republicans retook control of the House of Representatives in the 2022 midterms. While we applaud President Trump’s pardoning of the FACE Act prisoners and directives to stand down and disarm FACE Act prosecutions, Congress must do its part by repealing the FACE Act. There is no question that future pro-abortion administrations will weaponize the law to target peaceful pro-life protesters. You must ensure that this does not happen.

Again, as leaders of the pro-life movement, we respectfully ask that you support the FACE Act Repeal Act of 2025 (H.R. 589) in today's mark-up.
