A New Jersey prosecutor has dropped charges against Father Fidelis Moscinski, a Franciscan Friar of the Renewal, and three other pro-life advocates for trespassing at a Planned Parenthood center, according to the law firm defending the group.
The group was arrested on Dec. 22, 2018, while participating in the pro-life ministry Red Rose Rescue at the abortion facility in Trenton.
Moscinski is at the same time facing federal charges under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act — a 1994 law that prohibits the blocking of access to abortion clinics — for an attempt to halt operations and save lives at a New York abortion clinic in July.
