One of the 23 pro-life activists pardoned by President Donald Trump in 2025 for violating the federal Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, or FACE Act, has reached a settlement with the federal government. Paul Vaughn, of Centerville, Tennessee, an evangelical Christian, had been convicted for his participation in an abortion clinic blockade in Mount Juliet, Tennessee, in March 2021. Vaughn and five others were convicted in January 2024 for their role in the Mount Juliet abortion clinic blockade. This led to three major prosecutions, including the one involving the Mount Juliet clinic. In 2023, Lauren Handy of Alexandria, Virginia, a Catholic who led the effort, received the longest prison sentence of any of the FACE Act defendants: 57 months.
