Senator Hawley (R-Mo.) delivered a speech on the Senate floor urging President Trump to pardon the pro-life prisoners who were incarcerated during Joe Biden's anti-Christian administration.
Earlier today, Senator Hawley discussed the urgent need to pardon these individuals with President Trump.
"President Trump can turn the chapter on this dark period of our history. He can right the wrongs that this last administration perpetrated. . . . He can, again, renew the commitment that is found right there in our constitution. That commitment to honor liberty of conscience. To honor the right to follow God, to live out our faith peaceably-which is exactly what these pro-life prisoners, still prisoners, were doing," said Senator Hawley.
He continued, "I urge President Trump, now from this floor, to pardon these Americans-unjustly persecuted, unjustly prosecuted, unjustly condemned-I urge him to pardon them. And to provide, once again, the moral clarity and the moral leadership for which this country is known. And to provide that moral clarity and moral leadership, without which, we cannot hope to lead the free world."
