Three More Pro-Life Activists Sentenced for Blocking Access to Abortion Clinic
Three pro-life activists were sentenced this week for their involvement in a 2021 abortion clinic blockade.
Authorities indicted a group of pro-life activists October 2022 for their involvement in blocking the entrance of Carafem Health Center Clinic in 2021, which prevented an employee and a patient from accessing the facility. The court imposed a 16-month prison sentence on Chester Gallagher Thursday for orchestrating the blockade in Mount Juliet, Tennessee, while Eva Edl received a three-year probation, according to The Associated Press.
Heather Idoni, already serving a two-year term for a similar offense in Washington, D.C., received an additional eight-month sentence on Friday, with U.S. District Judge Aleta Trauger ruling it could overlap her current imprisonment, the AP reported. The court found both Gallagher and Idoni guilty of obstructing clinic access and conspiring against federal law, and they will face three years of supervised release after their prison terms.
