"WASHINGTON, D.C. (LifeSiteNews) — Eva Edl, a 90-year-old woman who was convicted under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act during the Biden administration, and who previously survived a Soviet death camp in Yugoslavia, called for the repeal of this law during a U.S. House Judiciary Subcommittee hearing this week.
During Edl’s April 28 testimony at the House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution and Limited Government hearing “From Tool to Weapon: The FACE Act and the Dangers of Federalizing Criminal Law,” Edl compared abortion centers to the Soviet death camps, emphasizing that she had wished people would have put their bodies on the tracks to stop the cattle car as she and other pro-life activists charged under the FACE Act have done at abortuaries. During the Biden administration, dozens of pro-life activists were prosecuted under the FACE Act.
“In 1988, I became aware of the existence of abortion clinics, which I view as our American death camps. On TV, I watched women take their babies inside to be killed, and it reminded me of my ride in the cattle car that took me as a young girl to the death camp,” Edl told the committee.

“While being locked up in that car, I wished that some people would have put their bodies on those tracks to bring that train to a stop and set us free,” she added. “I thought of the word of the Lord Jesus in Matthew 7 that I should ‘do unto others as I would have them do unto me.’ So I knew I had to place my body between those victims and the abortionists, no matter what the cost.”
“When we are at clinics like that, it’s like sitting in front of the train tracks,” she said. “While we are being arrested, our sidewalk counselors have the opportunity to offer help to young women and hopefully persuade them to give life to their young children.”
Edl had been convicted under the FACE Act for blocking access to abortuaries in Tennessee and Michigan during the Biden administration. She was among the 23 pro-lifers pardoned by President Trump during the first week of his second term last year.
Edl further stressed that while pro-lifers like herself continue to be arrested and prosecuted for their efforts to save the unborn, they will continue to follow the Lord’s calling for them.
“Pro-lifers who continue to put their bodies between the abortionists and the innocent victims today will continue to be hammered by this unjust law until it is repealed,” she said. “And yet, despite knowing this, when the Lord asks you to do something, you just simply do it. No matter the cost. After all, He gave His life to save us.”

Finally, she urged the subcommittee to both repeal the FACE Act and end the murder of unborn children.
“I plead with our government to repeal the FACE Act because it is targeting people who want to do right,” Edl said. “After all, we have enough laws that if somebody does something wrong, we have the means to punish them.”
“I plead with our government to stop the killing and go back to the foundational principle that our forefathers built this country on, that all human life has equal value before God,” she added. “If we do not have an awakening of our national conscience, then we will exterminate our posterity.”
The Department of Justice (DOJ) under the Biden administration notoriously weaponized the FACE Act to prosecute numerous pro-life activists over the 46th president’s lone term.
Among the most egregious Biden prosecutions have been the so-called DC Nine, who in 2022 entered an abortion center in the nation’s capital and refused to leave. They received prison time despite several of them being elderly with medical issues. Like Edl, the DC Nine were among the 23 pro-lifers pardoned by Trump.
Another concerning case was that of Mark Houck, a Philadelphia pro-lifer whom the DOJ prosecuted under the FACE Act after he was arrested in a morning FBI raid for a physical altercation with a hostile abortion supporter that local authorities had already dismissed. Houck was ultimately acquitted in January 2023.

End of article...
Remember, it was under the "administration" of the apostate, "Catholic", Biden, and his corrupt DOJ that went after numerous pro-lifers... Also, it was the now-indicted SPLC using made-up and false information to track and infiltrate traditional Catholic, Latin rite parishes, to get "whistleblowers" to spy and snitch on their compatriots!!
Pray for the sick and demented, Biden, especially for his conversion to the Catholic Faith!
Viva Cristo Rey! Bl. Fr. Miguel Pro, Fr. Emil Kapaun, and Fr. Vincent Capodanno, pray for us...
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle...
St. Joseph, pray for us!!
