Former CNN host Don Lemon did something unusual Friday—he asked a court to invalidate part of a major law that protects abortion clinics. Why Target the FACE Act? “The FACE Act is very strategically targeted to conduct, not expression,” he noted. Republicans joined Democrats to pass the FACE Act in 1994 in large part because the bill included provisions to protect houses of worship, in addition to abortion clinics. Either way, the former CNN host is “the only one I’ve seen on the left advocating for the overthrow of the FACE Act,” the First Liberty lawyer added.
