A Tennessee anti-abortion activist was sentenced to over three years in prison for blocking access to a Planned Parenthood clinic in Manhattan.
Bevelyn Beatty Williams cited her Catholic faith while obstructing access to reproductive health services, resulting in a 41-month prison sentence.
The federal law protecting access to reproductive health clinics, the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, prohibits threats and obstruction.
U.S. attorney Damian Williams stated that Beatty Williams interfered with critical health services by physical obstruction and threats at the Manhattan Planned Parenthood.
