3 more pro-lifers sentenced on FACE Act charges after Biden DOJ prosecution

James and Eva Zastrow and Paul Place, who were prosecuted by the Biden-Harris DOJ for sitting and praying in front of an abortion center in an effort to save babies' lives, were sentenced to 90 days in home detention and three years' probation.

James Zastrow, Eva Zastrow, and Paul Place were sentenced to 90 days in home detention and three years of probation for their efforts to save the lives of unborn children from abortion by assembling in front of the entrance to Carafem Health Center Clinic in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee. The trio were convicted in April of misdemeanor violations, along with Eva Edl, 87, a concentration camp survivor.

During the protest, documented in a video posted to Facebook, Edl sat in a wheelchair in front of the door to the abortion facility. Place and Eva Zastrow sat next to Edl, while the remainder of the group gathered along the sides of the hallway outside the facility. The pro-lifers sang hymns, prayed, and refused to leave when asked by police officers.

On one occasion, the protesters attempted to engage an apparently abortion-seeking woman in conversation about the preciousness of her preborn baby.

One officer who asked the pro-lifers to leave appeared sympathetic to their cause. The organizer of the protest, Chester Gallagher, tried to explain to the officer why their moral obligation to protect innocent life came before their obligation to the law.

"Inside of that door are murderers, paid baby-killers," he told the officer. "As you've already experienced coming down this hallway, [there] was a mother carrying an innocent child who is [t]o be ripped from her mother's womb inside that place."

Six others who were involved in the blockade were convicted of more serious felony "conspiracy" charges for helping to organize the rescue effort earlier this year, and four were sentenced last month: Paul Vaughn and Dennis Green, who were given three years of supervised release; Coleman Boyd, who was given five years of probation, a $10,000 fine, and travel restrictions; and Calvin Zastrow, who was considered one of the main organizers, was given a 6-month prison sentence followed by three years of supervised release.
