The Biden administration has filed a federal lawsuit in Ohio against two organizations and seven individuals for blocking access to an abortion clinic.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) said it filed a lawsuit on May 20 in the Northern District of Ohio against Citizens for a Pro-Life Society and Red Rose Rescue—along with seven individuals, including Lauren Handy, who was recently sentenced to nearly 5 years in prison for blocking an abortion clinic in Washington—for alleged violations of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act.
