esident Joe Biden’s Justice Department charged another pro-life activist after he and others blocked the entrance to an abortion clinic.
Herb Geraghty, 25, of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, was charged Friday with impeding the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act and conspiracy against rights offenses stemming from his “blockade” in October 2020 in Washington, D.C. Nine others were indicted in March for participating in the blockade.
According to the DOJ, Geraghty and others intended to “prevent the clinic from providing, and patients from receiving, reproductive health services.” If convicted, Geraghty could face up to 11 years in prison, three years of supervised release, and a fine of up to $260,000.
The DOJ’s press release said he and others “forcefully entered the clinic and set about blockading two clinic doors using their bodies, furniture, chains and ropes.”
The DOJ says that once the blockade was established, the protesters’ activities were live-streamed on Facebook.
