EXCLUSIVE: First Sit-Down Interview After Prison Release—Pardoned Pro-Life Activist Bevelyn Williams Speaks with Lila Rose
Washington, D.C. — Lila Rose, president and founder of the national pro-life organization Live Action, sits down with the recently pardoned pro-life activist Bevelyn Willaims, who was released last week from jail after President Trump signed an executive order pardoning her and 22 other activists.
The Live Action Exclusive interview includes Rose and Williams discussing her childhood, tireless pro-life work, and experience in jail away from her husband and young daughter. Williams had been in prison since October 16, 2024, after being sentenced to three years in Federal Prison by President Biden’s Department of Justice.
“I’m ecstatic, and I’m just so grateful to be home and be free,” said Williams. “But I’m still trying to recover from everything. It’s just a lot. Wow, thank God [President Trump] won. I would have still been in prison. I would have been away from my daughter until she was five. Now, I want him to influence Congress and get Congress to agree that life starts at conception. I feel like once we can get that grasp on life starting at conception, and we could start making legislation based on that, that’s going to preserve the nation, that’s going to preserve America, and that is going to change the paradigm of the way our country is going to go.”
In response, Rose said, “I think the pardoning of you and the prisoners was such an incredible, wonderful thing. And there have been a few more executive orders since, such as the Mexico City Policy and two Biden pro-abortion orders that were rescinded to stop the federal government from funding abortion overseas. But Planned Parenthood is still getting a ton of money through Medicaid right now, and abortion is still totally legal federally. So, there limitliess opportunities to protect life.”
