Per a Justice Department federal jury, anti-abortion activists (incl. Lauren Handy) are guilty of an abortion clinic blockade, against the FACE Act.
Two patients at the clinic gave harrowing testimony in court describing their experiences. Shandy Holler and her husbandto receive an abortion in D.C. Tragically, Holler’s pregnancy had been diagnosed with a fatal fetal anomaly. She was in severe pain when she arrived at the clinic the morning of the blockade. Security footage shows Holler’s husband begging the defendants to let her through to be treated, and Holler collapsed on the ground.
“The people who do these blockades feel their religious beliefs and personal beliefs supersede the law,” Davis testified. The day of the blockade, Handy posted on Facebook encouraging people to join her. She posted that a “traditional lock and block rescue [is] happening now” and “people are acting as human shields” to prevent access to abortion care. The abortion clinic was unable to provide services for over three hours. Police had to saw off the bike locks from the defendants’ necks and physically carry out those who went limp upon arrest.
The gallery in the courtroom was filled with anti-abortion extremists, as well as an occasional nun and priest praying the rosary and reading Bible verses. During witness testimonies, a nun made the sign of the cross toward a witness while she was on the stand and prayed her rosary. The nun also approached her in the hallway and said a Hail Mary to her face during a break in testimony.
