3 more peaceful pro-lifers sentenced over ‘sit-in’ protest at Tennessee abortion facility

(LifeSiteNews) — Another batch of peaceful pro-life activists has been sentenced for a sit-in at an abortion facility, this time in Tennessee in a case dating back to 2021.

Videos and other recordings of the protest show pro-lifers standing and sitting inside a hallway of the building, singing hymns, praying, and refusing to leave… On one occasion, the protesters attempted to engage an apparently abortion-seeking woman in conversation about the preciousness of her preborn baby.

Now, the Daily Caller reports, the remaining defendants in the case have been sentenced as well: Chester Gallagher to 16 months in jail, Eva Edl to three years probation, and Heather Idoni (who is already serving a two-year sentence for a similar case out of the nation’s capital) to eight months. Gallagher and Idoni will also have to serve three years of supervised release after their prison sentences are complete.

EXCLUSIVE: School District Sued for Withholding Public Records About Gender Transition Plans for Children

FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—The nonprofit that has been exposing radical gender ideology in California filed a lawsuit Monday against the public school district in Lynwood, California, for failing to comply with state law by providing requested documents about its “gender transition” plans for schoolchildren.
“This is a clear violation of state law,” Mark Trammell, executive director of the Center for American Liberty, said in a statement shared with The Daily Signal. The center is a nonprofit dedicated to litigating free speech and civil liberties issues. “LUSD’s refusal to respond to a public records request is not only illegal, it is part of a broader trend of schools across California keeping parents in the dark about what’s really happening in the classroom. Parents have a right to know, and Lynwood is not above the law.”

Evidence over Ideology: Gender-Distressed Children Deserve Nothing Less

Once again, the United Kingdom is leading the way in choosing evidence over ideology for gender-distressed kids. Over the summer, the UK’s high court deferred to science over activism and upheld an emergency ban on puberty blockers for children under age eighteen.
Many European countries—like Norway, Denmark, England, Wales, Scotland, Sweden, and Finland—are moving away from life-altering hormonal and surgical interventions for children experiencing distress over their biological sex. Their systematic reviews revealed insufficient evidence that these experimental protocols help vulnerable kids. On the contrary, the evidence indicates such protocols actually harm the overwhelming majority of children experiencing distress over their sex.
