This bill, titled the "Restoring the First Amendment and Right to Peaceful Civil Disobedience Act of 2025," aims to repeal a specific federal law. Its primary provision is the complete repeal of Section 248 of title 18, United States Code , commonly known as the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act. The repeal of the FACE Act would eliminate federal prohibitions against using force, threats of force, or physical obstruction to injure, intimidate, or interfere with persons seeking or providing reproductive health services, or to damage or destroy reproductive health facilities. It also removes similar protections for places of worship. This repeal is designed to apply to all prosecutions of offenses that are currently pending or commenced on or after the bill's enactment date.
