Paul Vaughn is one of 23 pro-life Americans who President Trump pardoned during his first week in office. Vaughn was targeted by the Biden administration because he peacefully protested abortion.

As LifeNews reported, Trump signed an executive order pardoning the 23 pro-life Americans Joe Biden imprisoned for protesting abortion.

“This is a great honor to sign this,” Trump said, condemning Biden’s lawfare, especially targeted at “elderly people.”

Vaughn credits President Trump with recognizing that Biden employed lawfare and exploited federal law to persecute and prosecute pro-life Americans.

“On one side, it’s great to see a president like Donald Trump who understands the injustice that has gone on,” Vaughn later told CNA. “On the other side of the coin, it doesn’t erase the injustice that my family and the other 22 pro-lifers have endured for the last two years at Biden’s DOJ.”

“We won’t get that back,” he added.

Calling the pardon “a mixed bag,” Vaughn said he is both “rejoicing” with his family and co-defendants and hoping that “we do better as a nation going forward.”

“Lord willing,” he said of the jailed pro-life activists who were among those that received a pardon, “[they] will be eating dinner with their families tonight and not in the federal pen, with, you know, bologna sandwiches and whatever.”

Vaughn’s wife, Bethany, told CNA that while she is happy about the pardon, she hopes her husband will pursue his appeals case and ultimately win so that future prosecutions may be prevented from happening.

Vaughn became well known after a shock FBI raid of his family’s home, where his legal rights were violated multiple times.
