Bevelyn Williams Released From Prison After Donald Trump Signs Pro-Life Pardons

Hours after President Donald Trump signed an executive order pardoning all 23 pro-life prisoners that Joe Biden unjustly imprisoned for protesting abortion, pro-life advocate Bevelen Williams has been released.

The plight of Bevelyn Williams and 22 other pro-life Americans who are hoping and praying for pardons from President Donald Trump is finally over.

Williams, who was found guilty of violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act for blocking access to an abortion clinic in 2020, is in the process of appealing appealing her sentence of 41 months in prison.

Williams was specifically accused of blocking entrance to an abortion business and preventing a volunteer from entering. As she blocked the door, according to the court, a staff member tried to open for the volunteer, and Williams leaned against the door, hurting the staff member’s hand — an injury that clearly didn’t warrant three years in federal prison.

“This is a great honor to sign this,” Trump said, condemning Biden’s lawfare, especially targeted at “elderly people.”

Trump granted pardons for 23 pro-life advocates who faced weaponized prosecutions brought against them by the Biden Department of Justice under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act.

Earlier this month, Thomas More Society attorneys submitted to the Trump administration formal requests for presidential pardons on behalf of 21 of those pro-life advocates who have been unjustly prosecuted, convicted, and in several cases, imprisoned, by the Biden DOJ. In their letter submitted to President Donald J. Trump, Thomas More Society attorneys urged “that these pro-life Americans are deserving of full and unconditional pardons.” The communicated pardon request package included 21 individual pardon requests, one for each pro-life advocate, outlining the specific facts of each case, their upstanding personal and moral character, and the reasons why President Trump should grant a presidential pardon.

Alliance Defending Freedom Senior Counsel Erin Hawley celebrated the news.

“The Biden administration politicized and abused the FACE Act to target and discriminate against peaceful pro-life advocates. While they received harsh prison sentences, vandals who violently attacked pro-life pregnancy centers got off scot-free,” she said. “The president’s pardon is a crucial first step in returning the Department of Justice to the rule of law. Under the prior administration, the FACE Act was wrongly weaponized to target pro-life activity while leaving pregnancy centers and churches unprotected. This was lawfare, not the even-handed application of law the American people deserve.”

Williams called her three-year sentence devastating, saying that, “Not only is this bond extensive for the accused crime, but [Judge Jennifer Rochan] made it very clear in the courtroom that she was going to [make an] example out of me. The concern of being a young mother, and a stay-at-home mother, was completely disregarded.”

Williams expressed concern over the length of the ruling as it would separate her from her toddler-aged daughter. The judge had told her before the sentence “that I was young and that I would not be defined by my sentence, before making a conscious decision to take me away from my two-year-old daughter for three years.”

Bevelyn had a traumatic past before she started her pro-life ministry, and she was abused at a young age, dropped out of high school at 15, used drugs, had two abortions, and was arrested for money laundering in an attempt to pay her rent. In prison, she met a woman who inspired her to change her life and surrender her life to the Lord. Soon after Williams started living her life as a Christian and eventually felt called to start a ministry.

Williams’ ministry, At the Well, provides spiritual formation for Christians and physical aid for the needy. Their mission statement is “to evangelize/minister wherever God leads to tell people about the love of Jesus Christ.” Some of their mandates include to “Boldly and unapologetically preach the gospel on the streets and public square,” to “Speak up, stand for Life and demand that abortion be abolished,” and to “Demand righteousness & justice through cultural & spiritual agitation.”
