Caleb is a 29 year old from Florida who was convicted of tagging the outside of a fake pregnancy crisis center in the wake of the Dobbs (abortion rights) decision (Roe v. Wade being overturned). He and his codefendants were originally charged with the FACE Act and faced over 10 years in prison. He was sentenced to 1 year and 1 day in prison in September 2024 for the vandalizing of the South Broward Pregnancy Help Center; the Life Choice Pregnancy Center, and the Heartbeat of Miami Pregnancy Help Medical Clinic. The spray-painted messages on the buildings included “Jane’s Revenge,” “Your time is up” and “We are everywhere”. He is going to serve his time at FCI Yazoo City in Mississippi.

“It’s hard to say which is worse” Federal Judge Equates Pro-Choice Graffiti to Arson of an Abortion Clinic During Sentencing of Pro-Choice Activists.
Community activists successfully negotiate a plea bargain that drops FACE Act charges, blocking federal precedent defining “fake clinics” as reproductive healthcare facilities. These so-called “crisis pregnancy centers” are known for coercive and pseudoscientific advice disguised as medical advice.
These three defendants refused any plea agreement that would result in this dangerous precedent. However the Biden-Harris administration forced the three to plead to felony Conspiracy and then demanded prison time from the judge. Caleb Freestone was sentenced to a year in prison, Amber Smith-Stewart and Annarella Rivera were each sentenced to 30 days.
In the fall of Dobbs, our worst fears have been realized. Democrats have thrice had the opportunity to enshrine the right to an abortion into federal law yet instead chose to repress four beloved community activists.
“I’ve supported and raised two children by working in my chosen field of ob/gyn healthcare. When not working, I’ve spent countless hours escorting patients to and from clinical appointments for their safety and the safety of our workers. Simply put, women’s health and the ability to choose their own path is my passion and calling. I never thought that the act of spray-painting a fake ‘clinic’ would result in the FBI violently raiding my house or that I would become a pawn in the fight for a person’s right to bodily autonomy-something an overwhelming majority of citizens in the United States believe in.” – Annarella Rivera, codefendant sentenced to 30 days in prison
