Rep. Roy Reintroduces Legislation to Repeal the FACE Act
Rep. Chip Roy (TX-21) introduced the FACE Act Repeal Act of 2025 to permanently end a law that has too long been weaponized against pro-life Americans. Americans just spent the last four years being targeted by a weaponized justice system. The FACE Act was one of the primary weapons of abuse — being used to politically target, arrest, and jail pro-life Americans for speaking out and standing up for life.” Congressman Roy said, “While President Trump and his team are already fast at work reversing the damage of the J6 political prosecutions and persecutions through pardons and commutations, I am hopeful those targeted under the FACE Act will be given similar relief. But importantly, we in Congress need to do our part to eliminate the laws used for the weaponization, including the FACE Act. Data my office obtained from Merrick Garland's DOJ showed that 97% of FACE Act prosecutions from 1994-2024 were against pro-life Americans. Now that we have a Republican trifecta in the House, Senate, and White House, Congress should move quickly to repeal this law and ensure that no future president can weaponize it against pro-lifers ever again. No more excuses, let's get it done.
This bill is cosponsored by Reps. Harriet Hageman (WY-AL), Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA-14), Daniel Webster (FL-11), Eli Crane (AZ-2), Josh Brecheen (OK-2), Russ Fulcher (ID-1), Dan Crenshaw (TX-2), Clay Higgins (LA-3), Michael Cloud (TX-27), Warren Davidson (OH-8), Andrew Clyde (GA-9), Burgess Owens (UT-4), Eric Burlison (MO-7), Nick Langworthy (NY-23), Adrian Smith (NE-3), Anna Paulina Luna (FL-13), Andy Ogles (TN-5), Chuck Fleischmann (TN-3), Mary Miller (IL-15), Mark Green (TN-7), Andy Biggs (AZ-5), Barry Moore (AL-1), Pete Stauber (MN-08), Paul Gosar (AZ-09), and Troy Downing (MT-02).
Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) will continue this effort in the Senate.

"With the election of President Trump, Catholics now are better protected from unfair persecutions that they were subject to under the Biden administration. 97 percent of the FACE Act were pro-lifers, despite hundreds of attacks on pregnancy centers and Catholic churches. Now that we have a President who will sign the bill into law it is time to pass Rep. Chip Roy's FACE Act Repeal.Thank you Rep. Roy for continuing to be the champion for supporters of democracy as well as for people of faith"

“Students for Life Action calls for the repeal of the FACE Act because it was created to be a weapon for the Department of Justice to use against those who peacefully protest against the human rights abuse of our day – abortion. President Bill Clinton and his administration were proud to force this forward, but, in the hands of the Biden-Harris Administration, pro-life peaceful protestors have gone to prison even as Pregnancy Care Centers burned and college pro-lifers were faced with and endured violence. In ignoring violent pro-abortion protestors to focus on peaceful pro-life prayer warriors the hypocrisy couldn’t be clearer. The FACE Act represents viewpoint discrimination, as punishments are supersized because of the beliefs of those targeted by the government. This abuse of prosecutorial pro-abortion aggression must end. SFLAction supports the FACE Act Repeal Act and hopes to see the new Trump Administration pardon all the pro-life prisoners, unjustly prosecuted.”
