THE STAND Blog is the place to find personal insights and perspectives from writers who respond to current cultural topics by promoting faith and defending the family.
THE STAND Magazine is AFA’s monthly publication that filters the culture’s endless stream of information through a grid of scriptural truth. It is chock-full of new stories, feature articles, commentaries, and more that encourage Christians to step out in faith and action.
The FACE Act (Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act) has been used to target and punish peaceful, pro-life Americans like you.
It’s time to end it.
What’s happening
● H.R. 589 would repeal the FACE Act.
● Speaker Mike Johnson understands that the FACE Act has been weaponized against pro-lifers, but has not repealed the FACE Act either by passing H.R. 589 or placing repeal language in a “must-pass” bill.
● The House has a Republican majority and with pressure from you can pass H.R. 589. The Senate would then need to pass the bill.
Why it matters
● Pro-life Americans have faced federal prosecution for standing up for life.
● The FACE Act is a political and legal weapon pro-abortion groups absolutely want to keep using against pro-lifers.
● The FACE Act is unnecessary and is an example of what happens when federal overreach goes bad.
● If Democrats regain power, the FACE Act will be used to punish pro-life Americans.
