Trump Encouraged To Pardon Pro-Life Advocates Convicted Under Biden DOJ

Calls have increasingly been made for President Donald Trump to pardon 21 pro-life advocates who were allegedly wrongfully convicted under the Biden administration’s Department of Justice.

This push aims to correct perceived injustices and promote a pro-life culture in America, The Western Journal reported.

Following the controversial use of harsh felony charges against individuals demonstrating at abortion facilities, a plea for their pardon was issued. Historically, such actions might have been treated as minor misdemeanors, but under the Biden DOJ, they escalated to significant legal battles involving incarceration.

In one of his recent notable acts, Trump pardoned over 1,500 individuals linked to the January 6, 2021, Capitol incursion and also cleared Ross Ulbricht. These actions are seen as part of a broader initiative to address what he and his supporters view as unfair treatment.

Thomas More Society Advocates For Pro-Life Pardons

The Thomas More Society, a nonprofit law firm, stepped in to represent the 21 advocates. They sent a detailed letter to President Trump on January 14, advocating for a comprehensive pardon. The society highlighted that their clients, including grandparents, pastors, a Holocaust survivor, and a Catholic priest, were prosecuted using the 1871 Ku Klux Klan Act, which they argue was misapplied.

Lawyers from the society, Steve Crampton and Peter Breen, stressed the importance of these pardons in reinforcing the U.S. constitutional governance and inspiring cultural change towards pro-life views. They believe that Trump’s intervention could restore faith in the justice system and halt the ongoing 'lawfare' against pro-life activists.

Media Coverage Highlights Broader Implications

Fox News Digital recently covered remarks by Steve Crampton, emphasizing that Trump’s potential pardons could realign the Justice Department's approach and shift societal attitudes towards life preservation. These comments underscore a strategic use of pardons not just to correct past wrongs but to influence future cultural norms.

"We represent peaceful pro-life Americans, some of whom were unjustly imprisoned and others unjustly convicted by the Biden Department of Justice for demonstrating at abortion facilities; they are richly deserving of full and unconditional pardons,” the Thomas More Society's letter stated. This statement captures the gravity and urgency of their appeal to President Trump.

Trump’s Social Media Statements Fuel Discussion

President Trump himself has spoken out against his perceived targeting by judicial systems, both historically and in recent proceedings. In a post on Truth Social, Trump linked his and Ulbricht's cases as examples of what he views as a weaponization of government power.

"The scum that worked to convict Ross Ulbricht were some of the same lunatics who were involved in the modern-day weaponization of government against me," he wrote, highlighting his disdain for the prosecutorial tactics used.

Steve Crampton further elaborated to Fox News Digital on the broader implications of these pardons. “We hope by President Trump’s actions here that he will restore some sanity and rule of law to the approach of the Department of Justice and the FBI, but also help move this culture back toward a culture of life rather than one of death,” he explained.

In their communications, representatives of the Thomas More Society also drew on historical quotes to underscore their points on long-term cultural change and justice. By citing Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln, they aligned their plea with a profound historical echo of striving for justice and corrective actions in the face of societal wrongs.

As these developments unfold, the focus remains sharply on whether President Trump will heed these calls for pardons. If he does, it could set a significant precedent for how future administrations address similar issues of legal and cultural significance.

The decision lies ahead, with potentially far-reaching implications for both the individuals involved and the broader national dialogue on life and law.
