| March 12, 2023 | Washington Post | Adding to the increasingly violent rhetoric, it appears yet another Federal court leak has occurred. This time to the Washington Post, regarding the date of a hearing for the much-anticipated chemical abortion ruling which could have a larger adverse numerical impact on the abortion empire than even the reversal of Roe on June 24, 2022. | Leak of Federal Court information |

| March 9, 2023 | President Joe Biden | President Joe Biden responded to Rev. Harden’s August 2022 and March 8, 2023 call for the defunding of the FBI in order to dismantle and rebuild it due to systemic corruption. Biden ridiculed the notion of defunding the FBI saying, “That’s a good one. I like that one. Well guess what? I refuse to provide funding that’s going to keep communities safe and secure.” (Source) | Law Enforcement Double Standard |

Walgreens admitted in a press statement on March 6 that to do so in several states is illegal. | Walgreens discontinues sale of chemical abortion in 20 states |
| March 2, 2023 | FBI Whistleblower, Special Agent O’Boyle | In a shocking release of whistleblower testimony, FBI Special Agent Garret O’Boyle claimed that the FBI began targeting pro-life pregnancy centers after the Dobbs decision last summer. Describing the FBI leadership’s directives to update threat tags that began targeting “pro-life adherence,” O’Boyle said, “When this threat tag came out, it was like, why are you focusing on pro-life people? … It’s pro-choice people who are the ones protesting or otherwise threatening violence…” According to Fox News, “O’Boyle said the FBI wanted agents to ‘look into’ what the bureau called ‘pregnancy centers.’” (Source) | FBI Targeting “Pro-life Adherence” |
| March 1, 2023 | U.S. Attorney General Garland | During a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Wednesday, March 1, Attorney General Merrick Garland was questioned regarding the disparity in how the FBI treats pro-life people and groups. At the hearing, Sen. Ted Cruz pointed to a picture of CompassCare’s firebombed pro-life medical office in Buffalo noting similar attacks nationwide for which pro-abortion domestic terror group, Jane’s Revenge took responsibility. [See additional questioning by Ted Cruz (R-TX), Mike Lee (R-UT), and Josh Hawley (R-MO).] Garland justified the FBI’s lack of performance saying, “Those attacking the pregnancy resource centers…are doing this at night, in the dark…. …these people who are doing this are clever and are doing it in secret.” (Source) | Law Enforcement Double Standard |

| Feb 15, 2023 | DOJ | On February 15, a Federal Grand Jury released indictments against eight peaceful, pro-life Christians for non-violent protests. The DOJ is indicting on FACE Act violations and conspiracy to deprive rights (a felony). Six of the eight had been previously indicted by the DOJ for similar charges. | DOJ Attacks |
| Feb 14, 2023 | Montana House Bill 471 | Hearings were held on March 14 for new Montana abortion legislation (HB 471), making abortion a religious right. If passed, Montana’s legislation would begin the process of setting a U.S. legal precedent, protecting abortion on religious liberty grounds. The bill states in part: “At any time during the first and second trimesters of pregnancy, a pregnant woman has the right to obtain an abortion from a willing health care provider, even when the abortion is prohibited by this chapter or otherwise prohibited under the laws of this state, if the woman seeks the abortion in accordance with the woman’s sincerely held religious tenets.” This is another instance of a larger strategy to conflate religion—Christianity in particular—with abortion. | Deregulate Abortion, Criminalize Pro-Life Activity |
| Feb 10, 2023 | 23 Attorneys General | Lead by NY Attorney General, Letitia James, 23 Attorneys General supported the FDA’s January 3rd deregulation of chemical abortion. (Source) | Deregulate Chemical Abortion |
| Feb 7, 2023 | Eight Abortion Companies | Eight of the largest online chemical abortionists have gone on record saying they have plans to pivot away from Mifepristone to the sole use of Misoprostol. The upshot of the online chemical abortion companies’ new protocol means they intend for women to expel live babies at potentially any time throughout the pregnancy given that most if not all online abortion businesses do not confirm the pregnancy nor determine how far along a woman is in her pregnancy prior to illegally mailing her the drugs. Misoprostol is approved by the FDA as an ulcer medication, warning it should not be taken by pregnant women. Even now this abortion industry is encouraging and directing women to procure illegal abortions and cover their online footprint, asking women to become complicit in breaking the law while putting their health at risk. | Chemical Abortion Fruad |
| Feb 6, 2023 | Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly | A federal judge in Washington DC, Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, is presenting an argument that the 13th Amendment of the Constitution provides a right to abortion. Citing Andrew Koppelman who claimed in his paper Forced Labor: A Thirteenth Amendment Defense of Abortion, “When women are compelled to carry and bear children, they are subjected to ‘involuntary servitude’ in violation of the thirteenth amendment.” However, the Dobbs case holds, “The Constitution does not confer a right to abortion; Roe and Casey are overruled; and the authority to regulate abortion is returned to the people and their elected representatives.” Oddly, Kollar-Kotelly’s argument aligns with the propaganda of the pro-abortion extremist group known as Jane’s Revenge, now known to be linked to Antifa. In their first communique, Antifa/Jane’s Revenge issued an ultimatum to pro-life groups after their first firebombing saying: “This was only a warning. We demand the disbanding of all anti-choice establishments, fake clinics…within the next thirty days…. We will not sit still while we are…. forced into servitude.” (Source) | Potential Conspiracy to Deprive Rights |
| Feb 6, 2023 | AP and Judicial Narrative of Brereton’s Sentencing | Contradicting the narrative presented by the federal justice representatives, Brereton, in a video posted to YouTube prior to the crime, clarified that his beliefs are neither politically nor religiously motivated, but scientifically, stating, “…read a science book. [Abortion is] not a religious debate, it’s not a political debate.” Yet, somehow, the Associated Press claimed his actions were driven by a “church sermon.” After the sentencing, U.S. Attorney Mark Totten implied that Brereton’s actions were politically motivated. Then Judge Maloney joined Totten’s apparently unsubstantiated opinion that there is a larger group of people to dissuade from similar attacks on abortion clinics, noted in the DOJ’s press release: “…the need for general deterrence… that others who might commit a similar violent crime need to understand that a substantial sentence will be meted out….” | Mischaracterization and defamation of pro-life people |
| Feb 6, 2023 | U.S. District Judge Paul L. Maloney | On February 6, Joshua Brereton was sentenced after pleading guilty to federal charges of Arson of an Institution or Organization Receiving Federal Funding (18 U.S.C. § 844 (f)(1)) at Planned Parenthood in Kalamazoo, Michigan on the afternoon of Sunday, July 31, 2022. | Planned Parenthood Arsonist Sentenced |

| Jan 27, 2023 | U.S. District Judge Gerard Pappert | A hung jury was the result of a hearing in federal court of a pro-life Pennsylvania man on Friday, January 27 in the case United States of America v.

| Jan 22, 2023 | VP Harris | Vice President Kamala Harris, announcing the Memorandum in an effort to attack FL Governor DeSantis, continuing to exploit a 10-year-old girl who was raped by her mother’s boyfriend—which was allegedly covered up according to Fox News—reprimanded those same 22 states, particularly FL, for protecting women and girls from similar sex crime cover-ups under state law, saying, “…today, we are fighting back.” She reiterated the Administration’s desire to centralize power to the Federal government for the biased oversight of chemical abortion. Harris also claimed that one does not need to abandon their faith to support abortion. (Source) | Vilify pro-life people and undermine First Amendment protections on pro-life activity. |

| Jan 18, 2023 | DOJ | On January 18, the first indictment of pro-abortion extremists for attacks on Christian pro-life pregnancy centers was made. The pro-abortion extremists and their “known and unknown co-conspirators” indicted allegedly targeted pro-life pregnancy centers in southern Florida consistent with abortion extremist domestic terror group Jane’s Revenge in violation of the Clinton-era Federal Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrance Act (FACE). The FACE Act was originally written to quell public pro-life speech near abortion clinics and has never been used to indict pro-abortion extremists targeting pro-life medical facilities. In 2022 alone, 26 peaceful pro-life people were indicted on FACE Act charges while 186 pro-life entities were the victims of bona fide FACE Act violations. (Source) | FBI Reputation Building |

When they come back between 7:00 -7:30PM they will run their analysis, which should be around an hour or two, and then return any of our equipment to its proper place. • When asked why it had taken this team so long to come and do this analysis, the agents said that things had to run through the channels of Amherst Police and then get handed off to this FBI team in Quantico. • When the agents went to leave, they engaged one of the condominium owners who rents parking space.
