Trump Pardons Anti-Abortion Activists Ahead of Rally in Washington
ai generated text
US President Donald Trump has granted pardons to 23 individuals convicted under the administration of his predecessor, Joe Biden, in relation to anti-abortion protests. The pardoned individuals, described by Trump's aide as "peaceful pro-life protesters", were involved in protests at a Washington clinic in October 2020, including a blockade led by Lauren Handy, who received a nearly five-year prison sentence. Abortion rights campaigners have criticized the move, viewing it as evidence of Trump's opposition to abortion access.
