In September 2023, Donald Trump criticized the conviction of five pro-life activists in Washington, D.C., claiming that the conviction was orchestrated by “Marxists and Stalinists” in the Biden administration. He stated that these activists were facing up to 11 years in prison for their peaceful protests and pledged to evaluate the cases of political prisoners unjustly pursued by the current government, with the aim of signing pardons upon his potential re-election.

Among those convicted are several elderly individuals, including Paulette Harlow, Jean Marshall, and Joan Bell, all sentenced to prison for their roles in a protest aimed at blocking access to an abortion clinic. Their sentences ranged from two years to over four years, with personal accounts highlighting their health issues and emotional struggles related to imprisonment.

Other activists, including Lauren Handy and Jonathan Darnel, received longer sentences for their involvement in organizing and participating in the protests. As they face prison time, many have expressed a desire to continue their activism and highlighted their commitment to their pro-life beliefs.

The broader context includes a perceived double standard in the legal treatment of pro-life activists compared to unresolved attacks on pro-life organizations and pregnancy centers, prompting criticism and concerns about the enforcement of laws surrounding such protests
