Priests face trial over pro-life rescue at New Jersey abortion business

Just weeks after being pardoned by President Trump for convictions of violating the Freedom of Access to Clinics (FACE) Act for pro-life rescue work, Father Fidelis Moscinski, Will Goodman, Father Dave Nix, and an anonymous fourth pro-lifer are preparing for another trial regarding their pro-life activism.

Father Nix wrote on social media on Wednesday, “Yesterday, I found out I am finally going to trial for the New Jersey peaceful pro-life rescue and arrest in 2019. Our trial is on 14 Mar 25, the feast of Our Lady Of Sorrows. Trial will be with Fr. Fidelis and Will. Maximum sentence should be 30 days in jail, but join us in praying for zero.”

He added, “The ironic thing is that we would not be going to this old state-trial for a while longer if Fr. Fidelis and Will Goodman had not just been pardoned by Trump at the federal level for their pro-life work. (That pardon got Will out of prison, but Fr. Fidelis was already out of prison.) Still, I’d rather get it over with since at some point we would have to have faced the state’s injustice for saving lives in a country where child-slaughter is permitted.”

Dear Reader,

Every day in America, more than 2,800 preborn babies lose their lives to abortion.

That number should break our hearts and move us to action.

Ending this tragedy requires daily commitment from people like you who refuse to stay silent.

Millions read Live Action News each month — imagine the impact if each of us took a stand for life 365 days a year.

Right now, we’re urgently seeking 500 new Life Defenders (monthly donors) to join us before the end of October. And thanks to a generous $250,000 matching grant, your first monthly gift will be DOUBLED to help save lives and build a culture that protects the preborn.

Will you become one of the 500 today? Click here now to become a Live Action Life Defender and have your first gift doubled.

Together, we can end abortion and create a future where every child is cherished and every mother is supported.

In 2019, the four pro-lifers entered Garden State Gynecology, an abortion business in Morristown, New Jersey, where they offered red roses to women in the waiting room. Each rose included a note that said, “You were made to love and to be loved… your goodness is greater than the difficulties of your situation. Circumstances in life change. A new life, however tiny, brings the promise of unrepeatable joy.” Each note also provided phone numbers of local pregnancy resource centers.

A video captured their arrests for refusing to leave the building.

Goodman and Fr. Fidelis had previously been in prison for violating the FACE Act, and Goodman was serving a 27-month sentence when Trump issued pardons for 23 pro-lifers on January 23, 2025.
