donald trump is expected to pardon pro-life activists convicted under the FACE Act during President Biden’s administration in the coming days.
The pardons, first reported by The Daily Wire, would apply to activists convicted of protesting near abortion clinics during various demonstrations. The details and scope of the pardons have not yet been disclosed.
Thomas Ciesielka, a spokesman for the pro-life law firm Thomas Moore Society, confirmed plans for the pardon to Fox News Digital.
News of the plan comes just one day before the March for Life, an annual pro-life march that takes place in Washington, DC.

Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., had he asked Trump to pardon activists convicted under the FACE Act since the president took the oath of office.
“No administration in history has targeted Christians like the Biden administration. We’ve seen persecution after persecution, from closing churches during COVID to attacking the homes of pro-lifers in dawn. ALL the pro-life prisoners that Biden wrongfully incarcerated should be pardoned,” Hawley wrote to X.
Hawley said he spoke with Trump about a possible pardon plan Thursday morning, saying they had a “great conversation.”
Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, has also introduced legislation that would dismantle the FACE Act. Many lawmakers have argued that Democratic administrations have weaponized it against pro-life groups and Christians.
“97% of FACE Act prosecutions between 1994-2024 were brought against pro-life Americans; it is laughable to argue that the law has not been weaponized. Let’s put HR 589 on the President’s desk and end this once and for all,” Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, said in a statement in reaction to news of the pardon.
