Pro-life advocate Lauren Handy has been sentenced to 57 months in prison, followed by three years of supervision for protesting the murder of late-term unborn children at a notorious abortion clinic in Washington, D.C. ...

Handy’s attorneys from the Thomas More Society expressed their opposition to the almost five-year-long prison sentence and stated in a news release that they would be working to appeal the decision.

Thomas More Society Senior Counsel Steve Crampton said the “57-month sentence is a miscarriage of justice, plain and simple.”

He later added, “Ms. Handy should have been shown the same mercy that she has herself shown to countless many downtrodden throughout her young life.”
