Senator Josh Hawley from Missouri has called on former President Donald Trump to pardon pro-life prisoners who were incarcerated during the Biden administration. In a speech delivered on the Senate floor, Senator Hawley expressed his concerns about what he described as an "anti-Christian" period under President Joe Biden.
During his address, Senator Hawley emphasized the importance of pardoning these individuals. He stated, "President Trump can turn the chapter on this dark period of our history. He can right the wrongs that this last administration perpetrated." He further highlighted the constitutional commitment to liberty of conscience and religious freedom, which he believes these prisoners were exercising.
Senator Hawley continued his appeal by urging, "I urge President Trump, now from this floor, to pardon these Americans—unjustly persecuted, unjustly prosecuted, unjustly condemned—I urge him to pardon them." He also stressed the need for moral clarity and leadership in America and its role in leading the free world.
