Atheist, nonbinary pro-life activist sentenced to federal prison for FACE Act violation

In a Wednesday statement to The Christian Post, Terrisa Bukovinac, founder of PAAU, expressed her commitment to standing with Geraghty and "nonviolent political prisoners everywhere." "I am appalled by Biden's weaponization of the Justice Department against Herb, the first atheist to be indicted and now sentenced under FACE," Bukovinac stated. "The assessment by Judge Kollar-Kotelly that Herb used force or violence is a blatant lie born of her clear confirmation bias against anti-abortion people."

The first pro-life atheist indicted under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act has been sentenced to 27 months in federal prison for participating in the 2020 blockade of a Washington, D.C., abortion facility.

U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly announced the sentence for nonbinary pro-life activist Herb (Rosemary) Geraghty on Wednesday.

On Tuesday, the federal judge sentenced three of Geraghty’s fellow activists — Lauren Handy, John Hinshaw and William Goodman — who also participated in the October 2020 blockade of the Washington Surgi-Clinic. Handy is a member of Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising, another pro-life group of which Geraghty is also a part. More Here
