“We will not tolerate violence against those seeking to obtain or provide reproductive health services.' AG Garland releases a statement on the Texas restrictive abortion law.
WASHINGTON -- The Justice Department said Monday that it will not tolerate violence against anyone who is trying to obtain an abortion in Texas as federal officials explore options to challenge a new state law that bans most abortions.
The federal law, commonly known as the FACE Act, prohibits physically obstructing or using the threat of force to intimidate or interfere with a person seeking reproductive health services. The law also prohibits damaging property at abortion clinics and other reproductive health centers.
