Pro-life activist Paul Vaughn received supervised release for participating in a protest outside an abortion facility in Tennessee, avoiding the prison sentence sought by federal prosecutors for violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act.
Paul Vaughn sentenced to supervised release for breaking federal law on blocking clinic accessPro-life activist Paul Vaughn and his wife Bethany Vaughn outside the federal courthouse in Nashville, Tennessee, during his January 2024 trial for violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act.
But it could have been — and for some pro-lifers has been — far worse than even that recommendation. The letter of the law allows for 10 1/2 years in prison and a fine of up to $260,000 on the charges. Another five activists are awaiting sentencing after being convicted Jan. 30 by a federal jury along with Vaughn. Several of those are scheduled to be sentenced Wednesday.The prosecution accused Vaughn of stalling police through negotiations and blocking access to the abortion clinic, “despite video evidence showing Vaughn had not blocked any entrance to the Mt. Juliet facility,” said the Thomas More Society.
In May, pro-life activist Lauren Handy was sentenced to 57 months in prison for organizing a 2020 protest at an abortion clinic in Washington, D.C., that saw demonstrators infiltrate the facility and chain up the entrance.Vaughn, the father of 11 children, praised his attorneys and said they will “appeal to have this unlawful use of the law overturned.”
