SR 36 Mississippi Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Urge United States Congress to repeal "The Face Act."

This resolution (SR 36) urges the U.S. Congress to repeal the 1994 Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act, which prohibits interference with access to reproductive health facilities. It claims the law has been misapplied against pro-life activists - citing examples like Mark Houck, Paul Vaughn, and Dr. Coleman Boyd - who faced federal charges for peaceful protests near clinics after the Dobbs decision. The resolution argues the Biden administration weaponized the FACE Act to prosecute pro-life individuals while failing to address attacks on pregnancy centers and churches. It notes President Trump pardoned 23 such activists and references pending repeal bills (H.R. 589/S. 223) to end what it calls "prosecutorial abuse." The resolution died in committee on April 3, 2025, without becoming law.
