The House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday advanced a bill by Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) to repeal the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, setting up a broader Republican push to roll back what conservatives call a politically weaponized law used disproportionately against anti-abortion activists.

The panel approved Roy’s FACE Act Repeal Act in a 13–10 vote along party lines. Rep. Tom McClintock (R-CA) was the lone Republican to oppose the bill, although he left the hearing before the final tally.
