'Are we going to be safe in the clinics?': women's health providers fear attacks after Trump pardons - Velshi - MSNBC
The 1994 Freedom of Access to Clinics (FACE) Act was signed into law following a period of violent attacks on abortion clinics -- much like the ones Julie Burkhart, Founder and President of Wellspring Health Access, has faced throughout her career.
For providers like her, Trump’s pardoning of violent anti-abortion activists sends a clear message – women’s right to care is under attack. “He’s proven our fears are valid,” she said. “I hurt for the women who just need good, sound healthcare.” - Aired on 01/26/2025.
