The latest outlaw shipped to prison by Attorney General Merrick Garland was 75-year-old Paula Paulette Harlow, who received two years behind bars for violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances, or FACE, Act.
Harlow allegedly participated in a “conspiracy” to prevent pregnant women from entering a Washington, D.C., abortion clinic in 2020.

The National Catholic Register, which also reported on the case, noted that Harlow, a Massachusetts resident, was the last one of nine defendants at the clinic who were convicted and punished for trying to convince women not to get abortions.
The minimum sentence was 21 months. Lauren Handy, considered the ringleader of the protest, was sentenced to six years.
Prosecutors recommended Handy get a prison sentence of roughly six years. They described her as an anti-abortion extremist who was a “criminal mastermind” behind the Washington invasion and similar attacks on other clinics, according to the AP.
“Her strongly held anti-abortion beliefs led her to devise a plan to block access to the Surgi-clinic,” prosecutors wrote. “The blockade, which was broadcast to Handy’s legion of followers, encouraged others to commit similar crimes, publicized her own offense, and traumatized the victims.”
Besides Harlow, those sentenced to at least two years in prison included Harlow’s 74-year-old sister and another activist who is 76.
In a statement, federal prosecutors claimed the activists erected a “blockade” at the abortion facility “to prevent the clinic from providing, and patients from receiving reproductive health services.”
The protesters “forcefully entered the clinic and set about blockading two clinic doors using their bodies, furniture, chains, and ropes.”
Prosecutors, however, did not accuse any of the activists of actual violence.
As the Register reported, a roughly 90-minute video of the protest shows “some of those [activists] who sat inside the facility can be seen chained together, praying the Rosary and singing hymns to the Blessed Virgin Mary while refusing to leave when asked by police.”
Meanwhile, Biden’s DOJ has done next to nothing about hundreds of attacks by pro-abortion vandals following the fall of the Supreme Court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade decision nearly two years ago.
Ironically, churches, crisis pregnancy centers, and other pro-life groups are protected under the same law that Harlow and the rest were convicted of violating.
Yet last October, Mississippi Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith noted, “Since the Dobbs decision was leaked in May of 2020, at least 357 Catholic Churches have been attacked. The Biden Administration has opened 0 FACE Act cases in response.”
