How times change. Especially for committed pro-lifers, who suffered during the Biden administration, as they were the targets of a weaponized Department of Justice, according to a story by The Daily Wire.
Calvin Zastrow, 65, who completed 100 days in federal prison for his participation in a non-violent protest at an abortion center in Tennessee, said he was happy to hear some of those involved in Biden’s onslaught on pro-lifers had been held responsible. His comments came after the Justice Department released a bombshell report detailing how Biden officials were in league with pro-abortion groups to monitor, track, and prosecute pro-life activists.
Before the report was released, it was announced that Sanjay Patel, the official who led the prosecutions against the pro-lifers, had been fired.
“I want to come to some firing parties, I think that’s fun to watch. That’d be a good time to celebrate,” Zastrow said. “I’d like to see accountability on the unnamed FBI agents who filed reports on us, and we still don’t know their names, who followed us, who tracked us, who messed with our family.”
Democrats lecturing Republicans on violence rings hollow this week.

A devout Christian, Zastrow who travels the country evangelizing and taking part in pro-life events, was convicted in January 2024 of violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, a Clinton-era statute that makes it a crime to block the entrances of abortion facilities. He and 22 other pro-life activists were pardoned by President Donald Trump his first week in office.
Still, the DOJ report showed that the Biden administration politicized and armed the FACE Act by closely working with radical groups like the National Abortion Federation to hunt down pro-life activists. Zastrow said he would like to see FACE repealed, saying that “the federal government shouldn’t have this big of a club.”
Emails revealed earlier this month showed abortion groups were tracking Zastrow and were working closely with Patel.
Paul Vaughn, a Tennessee father who was placed on house arrest after being convicted on the FACE Act, also welcomed the report from the Justice Department.
“We’re thrilled the truth is coming out,” he told The Daily Wire. “We knew that the Biden DOJ was acting inappropriately and maliciously behind the scenes.”
