Joe Biden ensured his son Hunter shall be dwelling for Christmas by pardoning his conviction on federal gun prices earlier than he may even be sentenced.
And Biden additionally has commuted the sentences of 1,500 inmates who had been despatched dwelling in the course of the Covid lockdown. Now all of them will have the ability to spend Christmas or Hanukkah or Kwanzaa with their family members.
Let’s check out a number of of these whose sentences had been commuted.
- There’s Michael Conahan, who was a decide in Pennsylvania when he was convicted in a scheme that had youngsters locked up in for-profit prisons, whose proprietor would break up the earnings with the corrupt jurist.
- Jim Carlson owned a head store in Duluth, Minn., the place he offered sufficient artificial medicine, in accordance with the Minnesota Star Tribune, “to trigger a public well being disaster.” He was convicted on 51 felony counts.
- Tremayne Guin was convicted in 2017 of distributing heroin and fentanyl within the Cleveland space. He was sentenced to 10 years in jail.
Those that won’t be dwelling for the vacations are more than a dozen pro-lifers at the moment serving time in federal jail for making an attempt to save lots of the unborn from abortion.
President Biden, earlier than you allow workplace, please do the best factor and launch these peaceable souls whose solely crime is caring an excessive amount of in regards to the unborn and their moms.
Right here’s a take a look at a number of of those that are inside:
Joan Andrews Bell and Paulette Harlow, each 76; Jean Marshall and Chet Gallagher, each 75; Joan Hinshaw, 69; Cal Zastrow, 63.
Then there’s Heather Idoni, a mom of 15 youngsters, together with 10 sons adopted from Ukraine. She suffered a stroke whereas in jail, awaiting trial in one in every of three states the place she was charged.
All the pro-lifers had been convicted of conspiracy in opposition to rights in addition to violating the Clinton-era FACE Act – Freedom of Entry to Clinic Entrances.
It’s doubtless that, as soon as he’s inaugurated, President Trump will pardon these pro-lifers, however meaning a minimum of one other month in jail for folks keen to sacrifice their freedom to attempt to save the unborn from a violent dying.
A bill launched on this Congress by Texas Rep. Chip Roy to repeal the FACE Act would possibly meet with extra success if he re-introduces it within the subsequent time period, so there may be mild on the horizon for these behind bars and for these nonetheless dedicated to ending abortion.
However why make these in federal jail wait? These are folks whose solely weapon is prayer and whose activism is directed at one factor solely, saving lives. They didn’t promote medicine or political affect or ship youngsters to jail.
I can’t assist pondering of Woman Justice, the statue discovered outdoors courtrooms all around the world. She is blindfolded and holds a set of balanced scales in a single hand. However with drug sellers going free and pro-lifers in lockup, it needs to be clear to anybody paying consideration that justice is much from balanced within the closing days of Biden’s time period.
President Biden, please make one in every of your final acts as president be to proper this grievous fallacious and free these political prisoners.
