Rep. McClintock On The Two-Tier Justice System: Pro-Lifers…Federal Prison…Church Vandalism…Probation

Posted • December 20, 2024: This week, the GOP-led U.S. House Judiciary's Subcommittee on the Constitution and Limited Government held a hearing on "Revisiting the Implications of the FACE Act," a Clinton-era law that prohibits anyone from physically obstructing access to "reproductive health services."

Tom McClintock (R-CA) found Nadler's proposal "just as offensive as prioritizing enforcement" of the FACE Act against pro-abortion activists. "Both courses are deeply destructive to the rule of law and equal protection of the law [...] It shouldn't matter what anyone's personal opinions are. The laws are to be applied equally to all," McClintock countered. (…)
