THE CENTER SQUARE—A federal judge Thursday temporarily blocked President Donald Trump’s recent executive order ending birthright citizenship for the children of illegal immigrants. Trump signed the executive order earlier this week, and almost immediately a coalition of nearly two dozen states filed a series of lawsuits to block the order. “The president’s executive order attempting to rescind birthright citizenship is blatantly unconstitutional and quite frankly, un-American,” said California Attorney General Rob Bonta, one of those who joined one of the lawsuits. U.S. District Judge John Coughenour issued the ruling, which blocks Trump’s order until a final ruling is made. Coughenour, who was appointed by then-President Ronald Reagan in 1981, blasted the ruling as unconstitutional, though. The order could make it all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. In question is the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. As The Center Square previously reported, supporters of Trump’s order argue the 14th Amendment has been twisted and was meant to apply to recently freed slaves and American citizens, not illegal immigrants who they say are taking advantage of the system. Backers of Trump’s order say the 14th amendment has been abused, pointing to tourists and illegal immigrants who come to the U.S. explicitly to have children. “The Framers of the 14th Amendment would be appalled at how abused the notion of ‘birthright citizenship’ is today,” U.S. Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., said in a statement. “The privilege of United States citizenship is a priceless and profound gift. It should not be granted to those who abuse our laws.” Originally published by The Center Square.

A lot of times people just getting started with their food storage have a big hang-up about wheat and how to use it. We are told to store hundreds of pounds of this food that we never actually cook with in our daily meal prep. For a long time we decided we wouldn't store any wheat until we had a wheat grinder so that we could “use it”. We didn't realize how many wonderful things you can do with simple wheat berries. If you already have a wheat grinder, we highly recommend you check out our recent newsletter on 17 Ways to Use a Wheat Grinder for lots of ideas on how to use wheat and other grains and legumes (you can subscribe to receive future newsletters at that link as well). If you don’t have a wheat grinder, read on for 7 ways to prepare wheat WITHOUT a wheat grinder! 1. Thermos Wheat Bring 1 c. of wheat kernels, 2 c. water, and 1 t. salt to a boil in a medium saucepan. Pour into a heated stainless steel or glass-lined thermos bottle. Secure cap. Place bottle on side. In the morning, pour off any additional water, add butter and honey, and serve hot. 2. Cooked Wheat Berries Add some of your plain dry wheat kernels to a pot of water. Bring it to a boil and cook for a few minutes. Then let simmer for about 45 minutes. Drain the wheat berries and stick them in a tupperware container in the fridge. These are delicious to add to yogurt or to use to replace some meat in recipes. You can also use it in place of brown rice in a lot of recipes. 3. Popped Wheat Take 1 cup of your cooked wheat berries (see above) and add to a frying pan of pot with two tablespoons of oil in it. Cover with a lid and cook over a hot stove shaking the pan while it cooks. After about 4-5 minutes the kernels will be nice and toasted. Put the popped wheat on a paper towel to get the extra oil off, and sprinkle with your choice of seasonings. Try it with salt, seasoned salt, garlic, barbecue salt, onion salt, cinnamon and sugar or any combination you desire. These are delicious on salads as a topping, mixed with trail mix, or as toppings for a desserts or just as a healthy snack. 4. Wheat Grass Most people have heard how healthy wheat grass is for you, but most people DON’T know that you can make your own wheat grass at home for free with just a little bit of your food storage wheat. Check out this step by step tutorial on How to Grow Wheat Grass if you want to try it yourself! It is so easy and fun to do with the kids. Then you can snip bits off and add them to your fruit smoothies, or if you have a juicer you can use them in other healthy juice drinks. 5. Cracked Wheat You can crack wheat in a blender or a coffee grinder. To do it in a blender you simply put in about 1/4-1/3 cups of wheat and pulse it until it looks like little cracked kernels. These kernels will cook much faster than regular wheat, and cook up in the same way that you cook rice on the stove or in the microwave. You can use cracked wheat to make hot cereal, add it into bread, or cook it up and use as a meat filler. 6. Wheat Sprouts Making wheat sprouts is a different method than making wheat grass. You can sprout wheat just like any other vegetable seeds, legumes, or other grains. Make sure to review our tutorial on how to grow sprouts. Most people like wheat sprouts to be very small, just barely sprouted. These are delicious to throw on salads or to add into your whole wheat bread for a little extra texture and flavor. 7. Blender Wheat Flour If you are cooking a recipe for something like pancakes or waffles, you can EASILY use your whole wheat kernels, mix the whole recipe in your blender, and pour it straight from there onto a griddle or waffle-maker. Just make sure to add the liquid for your recipe into the blender, then add in your wheat kernels and blend for about 5 minutes. Then add the rest of the ingredients.

If you add TOO MUCH wheat into your diet TOO FAST it can give you digestion problems, and we promise you don’t want to have that.

When Will Trump Pardon the Pro-Life 10? UPDATE: Pardoned

ABC: Experts™ Say That Trump Is Wrong on Definition of Sex

In clips that went viral on social media, Congressman Tim Burchett (R-TN) threw down Wednesday morning with CNN’s dead man walking Jim Acosta over January 6 and President Trump’s commutations and pardons for all those charged in the January 6, 2021 riot at the Capitol. Near the end of the squabble, Burchett ripped CNN as being crushed in the ratings by the likes of Cartoon Network and Spongebob Squarepants reruns. The high point came at the end when Acosta first grossly conjured up some fear porn that those released from prison are going to commit violent crimes. Burchett clapped back that, as part of the probe, he had constituents whom the FBI visited “and harassed them” in a “political thing from the start” even though “[i]t was a bad day in America.” Acosta came back by accusing Republicans of refusing to truly “back the blue” while Burchett said Trump is “no more” responsible for any future actions of those pardoned “than Joe Biden should take personal responsibility for the 14 million people — for Laken Riley losing her life because he didn’t have enough guts to enforce the law and back Americans.”     As Acosta continued screaming, Burchett added he and his profession “spent four years making excuses for a fellow with Alzheimer’s in the — in the lead office in this country and defending him and putting him office” and “made excuses for him for four years.” After Burchett accused Acosta and the liberal media of ducking the damage done and lack of prosecutions against Black Lives Matter thugs, Acosta insisted CNN had covered it since he was CNN’s White House correspondent. Fake News Jim leveled what he thought was the kill shot, but was actually a comical indictment of his vapid mind:       I was at the White House covering the first Trump administration when they had rioting outside of the White House. I mean, that was covered on CNN. What you’re saying — this is not Fox, Congressman. You can’t just spin a tale and pull the wool over people’s eyes. This is CNN. This is the news. We are asking you to come on and tell the truth. Without hesitation, Burchett unloaded: And that's why more people are watching the Cartoon Network, SpongeBob reruns right now, Jim. Look, I left the White House during a riot. My life was threatened. My life has been threatened within the last few weeks, yet there's no coverage of that and you all continue this — this narrative of trash — attacking Trump. You just can't stand the fact that he won and that America spoke and that your view is very diminished. Your view is very diminished. Acosta claimed “that’s not the case at all,” concluding he was “asked...to come to” discuss “pardons because they are highly controversial and they could result in people getting hurt and I think that's a sincere question to ask.” Earlier in the back-and-forth, Acosta didn’t take too kindly to Burchett noting the January 6 probe was “political” and accused him of peddling Democrat talking points (click “expand”):  ACOSTA: Congressman, you were there that day. There — there are offenders on January 6th who violently beat police officers. There are offenders who are convicted of seditious conspiracy. That is the truth. BURCHETT: This is a political world, Jim, and I don’t remember you all on CNN condemning Joe Biden for commuting the sentences of murders and child molesters, which he did. And you all refused — ACOSTA: — Congressman, I’m not asking you about that. BURCHETT: — you refused — ACOSTA: — Congressman, we talked about Joe Biden’s pardons — BURCHETT: — well, you never do. You never do, Jim. You never do. ACOSTA: Congressman, we did talk about it. We talked about Joe Biden’s party. BURCHETT: Oh, Jim, you did not. You all read your — ACOSTA: I am asking you — BURCHETT: — report from the Democrat National Committee, as you always do — ACOSTA: — that is — that is — BURCHETT: — and you attack Americans. ACOSTA: That is absolutely false. BURCHETT: No. Burchett had another eyebrow-raising response to Acosta’s assertion that Republicans have “let down the blue” by supporting January 6 pardons (click “expand”): BURCHETT: Jim, why don’t you just give an editorial and not let me come on? Look, what happened to the last four years with police — what happened with all the riots that took place all across the country, police officers were murdered, courthouses were burned, over 22 police cars were burned. Yet no one went to jail for that. Where is the — where is your crocodile tears for that? ACOSTA: You’re — BURCHETT: No, you’re not. ACOSTA: — you’re engaging in a game — BURCHETT: You’re not addressing the facts. ACOSTA: — you’re engaging a game — BURCHETT: No. ACOSTA: — in a game of whataboutism. BURCHETT: Well, what about you all do — ACOSTA: People were obviously prosecuted after those rights. BURCHETT: — at CNN every day? ACOSTA: What? BURCHETT: Every day — ACOSTA: What are you talking about — BURCHETT: — all you’ve done is — ACOSTA: — what we’re doing at CNN? We didn’t storm the Capitol.

President Trump’s second inauguration was one for the history books for many reasons, but the leftist media has decided to focus on one short clip of Elon Musk from the inauguration. In the clip, Musk is standing behind a podium after giving his speech at the inauguration, before he excitedly throws one arm in the air. Now, he’s being accused of giving a Nazi salute. “I just want to say thank you for making it happen, thank you,” Elon said before shooting his arm out to the cheering crowd. “My heart goes out to you, it is thanks to you that the future of civilization is assured.” “Our viewers are smart, and they can take a look at that, but it certainly was — it’s not something that you typically see at American political rallies,” a host on CNN said during the inauguration. While CNN was quick to jump to conclusions, the ADL actually came out in defense of Elon Musk. “This is a delicate moment. It’s a new day and yet so many are on edge. Our politics are inflamed, and social media only adds to the anxiety. It seems that @Elonmusk made an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm, not a Nazi salute, but again, we appreciate that people are on edge,” the ADL wrote in a post on X. “In this moment, all sides should give one another a bit of grace, perhaps even the benefit of the doubt, and take a breath. This is a new beginning. Let’s hope for healing and work toward unity in the months and years ahead,” the ADL concluded in their post. “I mean, that’s cool. They could have poured gasoline on the fire. They chose not to,” Keith Malinak of “Pat Gray Unleashed” comments. Elon also took to X to defend himself. “Frankly, they need better dirty tricks,” Musk wrote in a post, adding, “The ‘everyone is Hitler’ attack is sooo tired.” Want more from Pat Gray?To enjoy more of Pat's biting analysis and signature wit as he restores common sense to a senseless world, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

A public school teacher in Connecticut was suspended and threatened with termination after refusing to remove a small crucifix near her desk, according to a religious liberty law firm representing her. Marisol Arroyo-Castro — a veteran teacher of more than 30 years who is a devout Catholic — has reportedly been a victim of religious discrimination.'The Supreme Court has made it clear that the days of intimidating teachers from even the most benign expressions of faith are over.'The teacher's job evaluation from June 2024 touted Castro as a "proficient" instructor who "holds [her class] to high expectations," plus her students "showed growth." According to the First Liberty Institute, Castro regularly received "proficient' or "exemplary" evaluations as a teacher at the DiLoreto Elementary & Middle School in New Britain, Connecticut. Castro has reportedly displayed a small crucifix beside her desk for about the last 10 years. The grandmother of five allegedly received the crucifix from the family of a deceased friend as a memento. Castro treasures the crucifix and considers it a part of her personal and religious identity. She said having the crucifix in view near her desk brought her daily calm, peace, and strength — especially on challenging teaching days. This school year, Castro hung the crucifix at the bottom of a whiteboard near her desk. Above the cross is artwork by students and a sign that reads: "If it doesn't challenge you, it doesn't change you." First Liberty InstituteOn Dec. 3, 2024, DiLoreto Elementary & Middle School Assistant Principal Andrew Mazzei allegedly emailed Castro regarding the crucifix hanging in her classroom. Mazzei reportedly requested a meeting over "concern" over the small cross. Three days after the email was sent, Castro met with Mazzei and Jennifer Pagan, a representative of her local union. Castro was ordered to take down the crucifix, according to the First Liberty Institute, a non-profit public interest law firm and the largest legal organization in the nation "dedicated exclusively to defending religious freedom for all Americans."The assistant principal went to Castro's classroom two days later and noticed that the crucifix was still displayed. A day later, Castro purportedly met with Mazzei, DiLoreto Principal Dario Soto, Consolidated School District of New Britain chief of staff Maryellen Manning, and American Federation of Teachers field operative Ed Leavy. The administrators allegedly advised Castro to keep the crucifix in her desk drawer, and only take the cross out when she needed to “ground herself.” By the end of the meeting, the administrators decided that a compromise would be for Castro to hang the cross underneath her desk near her feet. Despite being "shocked," Castro complied. The First Liberty Institute noted that another teacher at the school featured a coffee mug with a citation to the biblical book of Proverbs 3 on their desk, and another teacher's personal bulletin space spotlights a small photograph of a statue of the Virgin Mary. First Liberty InstituteHowever, Castro "immediately felt sick and grew distraught" to the point that others reportedly noticed her sobbing just minutes before a scheduled parent-teacher conference. Defending her religious faith, Castro returned the crucifix to its place on the wall on Dec. 11, 2024."She did so, out of personal conscience, because hiding the crucifix under her desk would 'hide her light under a bushel,'" the First Liberty Institute stated in a letter sent to the board of directors for the Consolidated School District of New Britain.The school district reportedly retaliated on the same day by issuing a Letter of Reprimand to Castro, accusing her that her actions were “insubordinate.” The letter allegedly declared that Soto would come to her classroom to "assist [Ms. Castro] with removing the cross from [her] classroom" by the end of the school day. Castro allegedly informed Soto that she would not remove the cross.However, Soto reportedly told her that she must remove the cross to properly “live out [her] faith” and called on her to “give Caesar what is Caesar’s.”Soto allegedly threatened Castro with a suspension and possible termination for insubordination if she did not take down the small cross by the next morning. Castro purportedly left the cross on the wall, and the next morning, she noticed that the crucifix had been removed from the wall. Castro was summoned to another meeting with administrators, and Manning reportedly told the dedicated teacher that a few days without pay would help her better “reflect” on whether it was in her “best interest” to keep hanging the crucifix on the wall. According to the First Liberty Institute, Castro's union representative said on Dec. 13 that she would face an additional five-day suspension for insubordination if she did not comply with the school district's demands. On Dec. 16, Castro emailed the Consolidated School District of New Britain to express that she could not in good conscience return to school under the school’s condition that her cross be placed under the desk. "We are aware, however, that Ms. Castro has been pressured to resign or retire early and sign an agreement not to sue the district," the First Liberty Institute stated. "We are additionally aware that the district has threatened to terminate Ms. Castro unless she agrees to conceal the crucifix underneath her desk or in a similarly hidden place."The First Liberty Institute declared, "The Establishment Clause does not enable the district to violate Ms. Castro’s right to freely exercise her religion Under the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution, and under the Connecticut Constitution, the district may not abridge its employees’ free speech rights, nor their rights to freely exercise their religion."The Consolidated School District of New Britain told Fox News, "That the symbol posted was on the classroom's front wall is important. It was part of the classroom environment for all students to see, infringing on the religious freedom of our students.""We will not allow any teacher to use their position of authority to impose their personal religious beliefs or infringe on the civil rights of students," stated Dr. Tony Gasper, superintendent of schools. "Our commitment is to ensure a learning environment where all students feel respected."The school district said Castro has been placed on paid leave while administrators attempt to resolve the issue in a "cooperative and collaborative fashion."Keisha Russell, senior counsel at First Liberty Institute, proclaimed, “Requiring a teacher to purge their workspace of anything religious is blatant discrimination that violates the First Amendment.”"The Supreme Court has made it clear that the days of intimidating teachers from even the most benign expressions of faith are over," Russell continued. "Asking a teacher to purge their workspace of anything religious is an affront to the First Amendment and violates both state and federal law. The school district needs to back down now."Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!

A refugee from Afghanistan living in Michigan is in police custody after he allegedly stabbed his caseworker multiple times.Around 2 p.m. Wednesday, the Oakland County Sheriff's Office responded to a call about a vicious stabbing in an upscale neighborhood in Orion Township, about 40 miles north of Detroit. The suspect then fled the scene in his vehicle but was soon apprehended.It turns out that the suspect is a refugee from Afghanistan, and the man he stabbed is a caseworker for a company that helps refugees resettle in Michigan. Authorities do not believe anyone else was involved.The victim suffered "multiple stab wounds," Sheriff Mike Bouchard said, and was immediately taken into surgery. While his injuries have been described as "very serious," thankfully, his condition is reportedly improving.The names of the suspect and victim have not been released. It is unclear when the suspect arrived in America and what his current immigration status is."We don’t know specifically what his complaint was or his motive was," Sheriff Bouchard said of the stabbing suspect in Michigan. Whatever his reasons, he apparently attacked someone who Bouchard said was just "trying to do their job, which is to help that person assimilate."Whatever his reasons, he apparently attacked someone who Bouchard said was just 'trying to do their job, which is to help that person assimilate.'The violent incident comes just days after President Donald Trump signed an executive order suspending the U.S. Refugee Assistance Program. The order then resulted in canceled flights to the U.S. for thousands of prospective refugees from around the world — including Afghanistan — as Blaze News previously reported.The EO claimed that continued refugee resettlements are not currently in the best interest of America or Americans."The United States lacks the ability to absorb large numbers of migrants, and in particular, refugees, into its communities in a manner that does not compromise the availability of resources for Americans, that protects their safety and security, and that ensures the appropriate assimilation of refugees," it read in part.As might be expected, liberal media outlets responded to the EO and the canceled flights by sharing sob stories about America-aligned Afghanis stranded at home or in third-party countries."We know this means that unaccompanied children, (Afghan) partner forces who trained, fought, and died or were injured alongside our troops, and families of active-duty U.S. service members are going to be stuck," Shawn VanDiver, head of #AfghanEvac, told Reuters.While the media caterwauled about the plight of foreigners abroad, it appears at least one who managed to make his way to America attacked one of the people trying to help him get settled here.Elias Muawad, a criminal defense attorney who specializes in immigration issues, indicated to FOX 2 that many refugees living in America have not been thoroughly vetted."I’m not going to tell you that it happens all the time," Muawad said, referring to the incident in Michigan, "but statistically you don’t know who these people are. You don’t know what kind of criminal record they have. You don’t know what mental health issues they had.""The biggest issue for a lot of these immigrants is claiming asylum," he added. "And they have to prove to the immigration judge that if they go back to their country, they are going to be in fear of death or serious injury.""It’s hard to prove."The suspect in Michigan is not the only Afghan refugee to be accused of a heinous crime lately. Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi, a 27-year-old Afghan citizen living in Oklahoma City, was arrested after the Justice Department foiled his "plot to acquire semi-automatic weapons and commit a violent attack in the name of ISIS on U.S. soil on Election Day," then-Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a statement in early October.Just a few weeks before Tawhedi was charged, then-candidate Trump slammed the Biden-Harris administration for importing perhaps "thousands of terrorists" following the disastrous withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan in 2021:Biden surrendered Afghanistan to terrorists and left thousands of Americans for dead by pulling out the Military before the citizens. Now we are learning that out of the 26,000 people who have been evacuated, only 4,000 are Americans. You can be sure the Taliban, who are now in complete control, didn't allow the best and brightest to board these evacuation flights. Instead, we can only imagine how many thousands of terrorists have been airlifted out of Afghanistan and into neighborhoods around the world. ... What a terrible failure. NO VETTING. How many terrorists will Joe Biden bring to America? We don’t know!Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!

On the eve of the 52nd annual March for Life demonstration on the National Mall, President Donald Trump issued pardons for 23 pro-life protesters whom the Biden Department of Justice worked strenuously to lock away. "They should not have been prosecuted," said Trump. "Many of them are elderly people. They should not have been prosecuted. This is a great honor to sign this."The president added that the fact some were still languishing in prison was "ridiculous." Those who received pardons were apparently all convicted under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, which Texas Rep. Chip Roy (R) and other Republicans have long sought to repeal. Roy told Blaze News in advance of the pardons that it was "tremendous news" that Trump was set to "pardon the brave pro-life Americans who were unjustly targeted by Biden's weaponized DOJ. These Americans are peaceful, pro-life Americans who were singled out and targeted by their government solely because of their beliefs." 'Get them out of the gulags.' The pardons — which were urged by the Thomas More Society and Republican lawmakers, including Roy, Sen. Josh Hawley (Mo.) and Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (Fla.) — amount to another promise kept by the president, who suggested in a June 22 speech to the Faith and Freedom Coalition that he would pardon peaceful pro-life activists such as Paulette Harlow, who was sentenced to two years in prison by a Clinton-appointed judge despite suffering from a debilitating medical condition. Trump vowed that upon taking office, he would "rapidly review the cases of every political prisoner who's unjustly victimized by the Biden regime, including Paulette, so we can get them out of the gulags and back to their families where they belong." The FACE Act, ratified by President Bill Clinton in 1994, was supposed to protect access to churches and abortion facilities alike but ended up weaponized by the Biden Department of Justice to lock up peaceful pro-life protesters — protesters like Jean Marshall, 74; Joan Bell, 76; John Hinshaw, 69; Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising director of activism Lauren Handy; and concentration camp survivor Eva Edl. The FACE Act law has almost exclusively been used in recent years against pro-life activists, even when the nation saw a massive uptick in attacks by abortion radicals on churches and pro-life pregnancy centers following the U.S. Supreme Court's Dobbs decision. 'I wish that somebody in my country would have loved Jesus enough to risk their own freedom or even their lives and gathered in front of that train.' The Daily Caller reported in July that from 1994 to 2024, there were 205 cases brought under the FACE Act against pro-life activists and only six brought against abortion activists. Of the 55 cases prosecuted by that time under the Biden administration, only five reportedly concerned attacks on pregnancy resource centers. Roy told Blaze News, "Ninety-seven percent of FACE Act prosecutions between the years of 1994-2024 were initiated against pro-life Americans; it is laughable to argue that the law hasn't been weaponized." Since 2021, 21 pro-life advocates were convicted and 10 were thrown in prison. Despite their disproportionate and zealous targeting by the DOJ, pro-life advocates appeared at peace with their decision. Although ultimately sentenced to three years probation, Edl, convicted of a FACE Act violation in April 2024, told Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck in August that she was ready to die in prison for speaking out on behalf of the unborn. 'Congress must also take the step to repeal the FACE Act.' "As a child, when I was pushed in that cattle car and nearly choked to death because we were so tightly put together — well, I wish that somebody in my country would have loved Jesus enough to risk their own freedom or even their lives and gathered in front of that train, stood on those railroad tracks to keep us from being shipped in there," said Edl. "Well, this is basically what I'm doing," continued Edl. "When I stand in front of those clinic doors, I'm just buying time for our sidewalk counselors to reach women in a calm and quiet way and touch their hearts." Rep. Roy, who introduced legislation in September 2023 that would repeal the law — legislation paralleled by Sen. Mike Lee's (R-Utah) companion bill in the Senate — stated at the time, "Free Americans should never live in fear of their government targeting them because of their beliefs. Yet Biden's Department of Justice has brazenly weaponized the FACE Act against normal, everyday Americans across the political spectrum, simply because they are pro-life." Roy, who reintroduced his repeal bill Tuesday, told Blaze News the Thursday pardons were "a tremendous step towards righting the wrongs done under Biden" but noted that "Congress must also take the step to repeal the FACE Act to ensure it can never again be weaponized by a future administration." Lee, who has another Senate companion bill ready, told the Daily Signal earlier this week, "While President Trump is stopping these outrageous prosecutions, we should ensure that no future administration has the ability to persecute Americans through unequal application of the law." Kristan Hawkins, the president of Students for Life Action and Students for Life of America who previously claimed that Trump "clearly doesn’t want to be pro-life anymore," spoke to the need of the FACE Act Repeal Act reintroduced by Roy on Tuesday, stating, "In ignoring violent pro-abortion protestors to focus on peaceful pro-life prayer warriors the hypocrisy couldn't be clearer. The FACE Act represents viewpoint discrimination, as punishments are supersized because of the beliefs of those targeted by the government. This abuse of prosecutorial pro-abortion aggression must end." Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!
