Trump administration limits enforcement of law protecting abortion clinics from violence.

The Trump Justice Department has limited enforcement of the FACE Act, which protects reproductive health centers from violence and obstruction. Under new guidelines, prosecutions will only occur in "extraordinary circumstances" or with "significant aggravating factors." The Justice Department also dismissed three civil cases related to clinic blockades. This move follows Trump's support for anti-abortion protesters and pardons for activists convicted under the FACE Act.
