Jeff Clark, former senior Department of Justice and White House official and vice president of litigation at the Oversight Project, spoke with NTD about the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act of 1994 and how the Biden Justice Department disproportionately used it against the pro-life community, churches, and pro-life counselors at Crisis Pregnancy Centers. Clark said the law was used by the Democrats as a way to send people to jail for their political and religious beliefs, with the April 14 report showing the lengths to which the Justice Department under the Biden administration went to. Clark also said the report revealed that the Biden administration was working closely with Planned Parenthood and other pro-abortion activist groups in a proxy public-private partnership to target people who had the opposite view, especially for religious reasons, which goes against the freedom of religion protected under the First Amendment. Clark said the way to root it out is to establish policies that prevent interconnections like these with groups outside of the government, and the Justice Department's ability to pick forums where most people are pro-abortion—and only bring their cases to those forums. Clark called for Congress to reconsider and narrow the entire statute so that it is consistent with the First Amendment, and applied in a way that is consistent with due process, adding that the Justice Department can set up policies requiring advance approval of all FACE Act cases that go to the top of the department. -- 📺 Watch NTD News 24/7 on cable, broadcast, and streaming: https://www.ntd.com/watch -- 🧶More NTD Programs: https://www.ntd.com/programs?utm_source=YouTube&utm_medium=SocialM -- 🇺🇸 Stay updated with breaking news, special reports, and LIVE COVERAGE on NTD: https://ept.ms/NTDlive_ -- 🔵Sign up for our newsletter to stay informed with NTD News. 👉https://www.ntd.com/newsletter.htm?utm_source=YouTube.
