An elderly concentration camp survivor faces 11 years in prison for allegedly obstructing access to an abortion clinic. This week, a court convicted Eva Edl, 89, and three others — Eva Zastrow, 25, James Zastrow, 27, and Paul Place, 26 — for misdemeanor violations of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Law. FACE prohibits interfering with a woman seeking to get an abortion at a clinic.
Authorities charged the defendants after they sang hymns and prayed at the Carafem Health Center in Mount Juliet, Tennessee, on March 5, 2021. The Biden Department of Justice described their actions as an illegal “blockade.”
However, the Biden regime hit Edl and Eva Zastrow with additional FACE charges. They are due to appear in a Michigan court in August. Each could get up to an additional 11 years in prison. A jury charged another six defendants who partook in the same protest under FACE and felony conspiracy laws in January.
The DOJ-led Reproductive Rights Task Force, established by the Biden regime after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, has amplified FACE Law enforcement efforts and the persecution of anti-abortion activists.
“NOBODY’S LIFE IS ULTIMATELY SAFE.”
Edl fled communist Yugoslavia. As a child, her persecutors forced her onto a cattle car and sent her to a concentration camp.
“If it is right for the American government to legalize the killing of innocent human beings inside the womb, preborn babies, then why do we condemn the Nazis who also legalized the extermination of born people—Jews, Gypsies, and others—all unwanted individuals?” Edl asked.
“Nobody’s life is ultimately safe in a nation ruled by someone who does not respect all human life, from conception to natural death,” Edl said. “It will just depend on who is in power, and whose whim will dictate who is permitted to live, and who is going to be exterminated.”
The Biden regime is not alone in its anti-Christian ‘pro-choice’ zeal. Governments across the West are displaying increasing hostility towards Christians and those who dare question the morality of legalized abortion. In December, England’s High Court upheld a ban on praying near abortion clinics.
