This proposed legislation, titled the "FACE Act Repeal Act of 2025," aims to eliminate a specific federal law. Its primary purpose is to repeal Section 248 of title 18, United States Code , which is commonly known as the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act. This repeal would remove federal prohibitions against certain acts of violence, threats, and obstruction targeting individuals seeking or providing reproductive health services, and facilities offering these services. The bill specifies that this repeal would apply to any prosecution of an offense that is currently pending or commenced on or after the date of the Act's enactment. Consequently, it would remove the federal legal framework that currently protects access to reproductive health clinics from such disruptive and harmful activities.
