A California pro-life activist is on trial in criminal court for posting a video outside an abortion clinic in August.
Jurors began their third day of deliberations for Anastasia Rogers on Thursday over her December arrest for aĀ 13-second videoĀ about how Planned Parenthood staff āunaliveā babies, according toĀ newsreportsĀ andĀ courtrecords. San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins is prosecuting Rogers under the stateāsĀ Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act, which criminalizes behavior targeting abortion clinics that is deemed to be intimidation or obstructing entry.
After her release, she shared this statement:
āYesterday, I was arrested for my pro life work at Planned Parenthood, specifically for social media content made at the sidewalk. Despite never breaking any laws during my time at the San Francisco Planned Parenthood, theyāre usingā¦

āA jury is currently deciding whether I can go to jail for up to 2 years over a pro-life Instagram reel,ā Rogers, an advocate with Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust, said in aĀ Wednesday Instagram video. The trial began April 17, court records show.
Jenkinsās office did not respond to the Daily Caller News Foundationās request for comment.
The reel in question shows Rogers and a Planned Parenthood escort outside the clinic with captions contrasting how pro-lifers want to help women raise their children while clinic staff want to āunalive them.ā A song plays in the background with the lyrics āHey, is this illegal? Hey, it feels illegal,ā mimicking a popular TikTok video trend. The clinic escort in the video later filed a complaint with Jenkinsā office, The San Francisco Public Press reported.
Californiaās FACE Act resembles a federal law with the same name that inspired the Biden-Harris administration to charge numerous pro-life advocates. President Donald TrumpĀ pardonedĀ nearly two dozenĀ pro-lifersĀ whoĀ faced such chargesĀ in his first week back in office.
A DecemberĀ videoĀ from Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust shows police handcuffing Rogers on a sidewalk before loading her in the back of a cruiser.
āIāll be okay. Donāt worry about me,ā says Rogers from the carās back seat. āBut the babies here will not. The babies at Planned Parenthood are being killed today.ā
