They &ldquo;include grandparents, pastors, a Holocaust survivor, and a Catholic priest.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Thus, Steve Crampton, Thomas More Society Senior Counsel, urged <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/trump-cuts-reporter-know-control-briefings-now\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Trump<\/a> to act.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;President Trump has the chance to remedy the harm done to them and their families, deliver on his campaign promises, and repair trust in our constitutional order,&rdquo; Crampton said in a statement on the Thomas More Society&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thomasmoresociety.org\/news\/thomas-more-society-petitions-president-trump-to-pardon-21-pro-lifers-targeted-by-biden-doj\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Thomas More Society Executive Vice President and Head of Litigation Peter Breen echoed Crampton&rsquo;s plea.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;President Trump has a golden opportunity to not only stop the lawfare against <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/if-peacefully-protesting-abortion-is-criminal-but-firebombing-pregnancy-centers-is-not-there-is-no-rule-of-law\/\" title=\"If Peacefully Protesting Abortion Is Criminal But Firebombing Pregnancy Centers Is Not, There Is No Rule Of Law\">peaceful pro-lifers<\/a>, but to also undo some of the unprecedented damage of the Biden administration,&rdquo; Breen said.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, in an interview with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/president-trump-urged-pardon-76-year-old-grandmother-others-prison-pro-life-activism\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fox News Digital<\/a>, Crampton elaborated on what he hoped to see from the president.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We hope by President Trump&rsquo;s actions here that he will restore some sanity and rule of law to the approach of the Department of Justice and the FBI, but also help move this culture back toward a culture of life rather than one of death,&rdquo; Crampton said. &ldquo;This small act on his part would, in fact, serve to kind of ignite a momentous movement toward restoring a respect for life in this nation that&rsquo;s so desperately needed.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The Thomas More Society&rsquo;s plea on behalf of 21 persecuted <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/fact-check-pro-life-laws-killing-young-women-truth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pro-life<\/a> activists raised two important questions.<\/p>\n<p>First, should Trump pardon those individuals? And second, should he do so for the purpose of helping to &ldquo;move this culture&rdquo; in a pro-life direction?<\/p>\n<p>The first question amounts to a slam-dunk. In fact, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/watch-pam-bondi-turns-tables-dem-senator-pressed-weaponization-doj\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Biden DOJ<\/a> violated so many people&rsquo;s rights that Trump should pardon everyone convicted in politically-charged cases. Simple justice demands it.<\/p>\n<p>The second question, however, presents complications, for it has both moral and tactical aspects.<\/p>\n<p>In both respects, abortion has only one parallel in American history: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/trumps-stance-abortion-follows-example-lincoln-set-abolition\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">chattel slavery<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>From the 1830s onward, abolitionists &mdash; those who called for slavery&rsquo;s immediate eradication &mdash; had the obvious <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-jr-tells-gop-to-get-tough-if-democrats-are-playing-hardball-then-we-got-to-play-hardball\/\" title=\"Trump Jr. Tells GOP To Get Tough: If Democrats Are \u2018Playing Hardball\u2019 Then \u2018We Got To Play Hardball\u2019\">moral high ground<\/a>. But they also failed to win elections and in at least one case, the <a href=\"https:\/\/uselectionatlas.org\/RESULTS\/state.php?f=0&amp;fips=36&amp;year=1844\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">election of 1844<\/a>, voted in large and decisive numbers for a third-party candidate in swing-state New York, thereby helping to elect an expansionist, pro-slavery president whose policies led directly to the Mexican War and renewed efforts to push slavery westward.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, the moral high ground alone does not always lead to victory. Constitutional self-government demands both persuasion and, in the interim, tactical prudence.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;[T]he revolution in public opinion which this case requires, is not to be expected in a day, or perhaps in an age. but time, which outlives all things, will outlive this evil also,&rdquo; <a href=\"https:\/\/founders.archives.gov\/documents\/Jefferson\/98-01-02-6127\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Thomas Jefferson<\/a> wrote of slavery in 1826.<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, in an 1862 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.abrahamlincolnonline.org\/lincoln\/speeches\/greeley.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">letter<\/a> President Abraham Lincoln explained that he fought the then-ongoing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/nikki-haley-receives-backlash-word-salad-civil-war-campaign-stop\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Civil War<\/a> to restore the Union. He did not view the war as a crusade to destroy slavery.<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, Lincoln concluded the letter with an important caveat.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I have here stated my purpose according to my view of&nbsp;<em>official<\/em>&nbsp;duty; and I intend no modification of my oft-expressed&nbsp;<em>personal<\/em> wish that all men every where could be free,&rdquo; Lincoln wrote.<\/p>\n<p>In short, Jefferson and Lincoln provided <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/trumps-first-interview-take-place-oval-office-fox-news-legend-host\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Trump<\/a> with a model.<\/p>\n<p>Consistent with his official powers, Trump must pardon those 21 pro-life victims of Biden&rsquo;s DOJ. Again, the president understands persecution.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, without threatening his electoral mandate (tactical prudence), he should tell the truth about abortion. After all, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/hollywoods-outspoken-trump-supporter-trump-absolutely-good-president-lincoln\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lincoln<\/a> told the truth about slavery.<\/p>\n<p>Changing Americans&rsquo; minds about abortion, as Jefferson wrote of slavery, may be the work of generations. But we must take part in that arduous work, and a persecuted president at the peak of his popularity would make for a formidable ally.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position: relative;\">\n<div class=\"ff-fancy-header-container\"> \t\t\t \t<\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-submit-correction inner-content\">\n<div class=\"correction-form\">\n<form style=\"display: none;\">\n<div class=\"sc-name-field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* Name<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc--field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* <\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<label>* Message<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t<textarea name=\"message\" required><\/textarea> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"required-message\" style=\"display: none; padding-bottom: 15px;\">* All fields are required.<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault(); firefly_sc();\"> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-sc-confirm\" style=\"display: none;\">Success!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/form>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> \t\t<script> \t\t\tfunction firefly_sc() { \t\t\t\tif( typeof window.captchaPublicKey==typeof undefined ){ \t\t\t\t\tconsole.error('window.captchaPublicKey is not defined'); \t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\tgrecaptcha.execute( window.captchaPublicKey, { action: 'submit_correction' } ).then( function( token ) { \t\t\t\t\tvar opts={ \t\t\t\t\t\taction:    'firefly_sc_submit', \t\t\t\t\t\tname:      document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"name\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\t:     document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tmessage:   document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"message\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tpost_id:   firefly_post_id, \t\t\t\t\t\tcap_token: token \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\tvar inputs=[ 'name', '', 'message' ];  \t\t\t\t\tfor( var i=0; i <inputs.length; i++ ) if( !

He needs to act swiftly to correct the significant injustices caused by former President Joe Biden\u2019s Department of Justice. Despite Trump&#8217;s renowned work ethic, he cannot resolve these issues overnight, but he is determined to make progress, as no other president has comprehended persecution quite like he does. Historical precedents will guide him in this endeavor. For instance, a letter dated January 14 addressed to the incoming president presented &#8220;Petitions for Pardon of 21 Peaceful Pro-Life Advocates.&#8221; This letter came from the Thomas More Society, which identifies itself as a &#8220;national public interest law firm defending life, family, and freedom.&#8221; It stated that they represent peaceful pro-life individuals who were either unjustly imprisoned or wrongfully convicted by Biden&#8217;s DOJ for protesting at abortion clinics and argued that these demonstrators deserve full pardons.<\/p>\n<p>Trump has already fulfilled several campaign promises by granting numerous high-profile pardons. Recently, he pardoned over 1,500 Americans who faced persecution from Biden&#8217;s DOJ related to the January 6 Capitol incident and also granted clemency to Ross Ulbricht\u2014a case championed by Libertarians due to Ulbricht&#8217;s creation of Silk Road\u2014a dark web drug marketplace targeted during Obama\u2019s presidency.<\/p>\n<p>The Thomas More Society highlighted how the Biden DOJ aggressively pursued pro-life advocates using severe legal measures under laws originally intended for more serious offenses like those associated with hate groups. The victims included various community members such as grandparents and clergy.<\/p>\n<p>Steve Crampton from the Thomas More Society urged Trump to take action: \u201cPresident Trump can rectify harm done and restore trust in our constitutional system.\u201d Peter Breen echoed this sentiment about stopping legal attacks on peaceful pro-lifers while addressing damage caused during Biden\u2019s term.<\/p>\n<p>Crampton expressed hope that Trump&#8217;s actions could help restore respect for life within American culture through his leadership at this critical moment.<\/p>\n<p>The plea raised two key questions: Should Trump pardon these individuals? And should it be aimed at fostering a pro-life culture? The answer regarding pardoning them seems clear given the violations committed against their rights; however, influencing cultural change around abortion presents more complex moral and strategic challenges\u2014similar historical struggles with slavery illustrate that moral clarity alone doesn\u2019t guarantee success in governance or elections.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, consistent with his official powers and without jeopardizing his electoral support base (tactical prudence), Trump should pardon those affected while also being truthful about abortion issues\u2014much like Lincoln did regarding slavery\u2014acknowledging that changing public opinion may require generational effort but is essential nonetheless<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2393799,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Donald-Trump-26.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[6017,33185,12737,8347,3634],"class_list":["post-2393798","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-advocacy","tag-biden-doj","tag-pardon","tag-pro-life","tag-trump"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Donald-Trump-26.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2393798","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2393798"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2393798\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2393802,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2393798\/revisions\/2393802"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2393799"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2393798"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2393798"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2393798"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
