Donald Trump Pledges to Return Jailed Pro-Lifers to Their Families if ElectedKatherine Hamilton 26 Jun 2024
Former President Donald Trump said he would work to free pro-life activists prosecuted and imprisoned by the pro-abortion Biden administration, should he be elected, Catholic News Agency (CNA) reported on Tuesday.
During a June 22 speech to the Faith and Freedom Coalition, Trump specifically mentioned the case of 75-year-old Paulette Harlow, who was sentenced to 24 months in prison for violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act and for “conspiracy against rights” in a 2020 protest at a D.C. abortion clinic infamous for late-term abortions.
“Paulette is one of many peaceful pro-lifers who Joe Biden has rounded up, sometimes with SWAT teams, and thrown them in jail,” Trump said. “Many people are in jail over this. … We’re going to get that taken care of immediately — [on the] first day.”

Harlow’s defense attorney, Allen Orenberg, reportedly said in a statement that Harlow’s health has been rapidly declining and that prison could be detrimental to her condition.
“She cannot continue to exist without support, especially that of her husband,” Orenberg said of Harlow, a mother of six, including four adopted children, and a grandmother of eight.
Trump said if he is elected to another term as president, his administration would “rapidly review the cases of every political prisoner who’s unjustly victimized by the Biden regime, including Paulette, so we can get them out of the gulags and back to their families where they belong.”
