HUNTSVILLE, January 16, 2013 (LifeSiteNews.com) – An elderly woman was handcuffed and charged with misdemeanor harassment after spraying holy water outside a Huntsville abortion facility.

Joyce Fecteau, who is in her seventies, was arrested after pro-abortion counter protestors complained after coming into contact with holy water from the spray bottle she was carrying.

Pro-abortion demonstrator Lisa Cox accused Fecteau of spraying her in the face with an “unknown substance.” She claims the incident occurred December 22 on the sidewalk outside the “Alabama Women's Center for Reproductive Alternatives” abortion clinic.

As a result of Cox’s allegations, Fecteau was arrested outside the same clinic January 9 and charged with misdemeanor harassment. Video of the arrest shows the elderly Fecteau being escorted away from the abortion center by a Huntsville police officer as she continues to pray.

I guess this is a criminal use of Holy Water.

Did they know it was Holy Water because it burned them?

This is kinda funny. I can just see some people squirming after finding out they’ve come into contact with holy water.

I can understand their concern, there is a chance they will melt or die if they are touched by something, truly holy.

ROFL! Holy Water!

Holy Water used according to directions.

It must be true what they say about it.

How would anyone know it was holy water and not acid or something gross?

Spray someone in the face with anything, even water - that’s assault.
No justification.

interesting that the pro-abortion crowd are so worried about holywater. i personally don't credit it with any sort of magical properties but i know people who do ~ people into Haitian traditional voodoo find it effective in whatever.

if it really has an effect on these people it should work outside of their work area as well ~ maybe we should start telling them that all the RTL folks are literally drenched in holy water ~ and magic lines have been drawn around the abortion mills in holy water ~ etc.

There are endless possibilities.

The only difference here and breathing is the water was sprayed out by a device ~ just tell these Vodon believers that you are drenched in holy water, and your very breath is damaging to them ~ so maybe they'd best flee the area.

It's long been noted that the USSC in Roe v. actually legalized the practices of ROOT WORKERS so we should not be surprised to find such people still involved in the business ~

Abortion Clinics have the pro-lifers on security video.

When something happens where a pro-lifer is falsely accused, these security videos somehow inadvertently get destroyed.

Who do you believe: a 70+ woman PRAYING to save babies or someone who dedicates their life to help kill BABIES?

According the Bible, Jesus said that "You will know a tree by its fruit -- a good tree produces good fruit, a bad tree produces bad fruit."

I believe there is great merit in what Jesus said...

Outlaw “assault spray bottles” that carry more than ten shots of liquid in their magazines.

My sister lived in Africa. One day the locals came to a holy Jesuit priest and asked for Holy Water to put out a fire.

The priest responded: "You don't need holy water to put out the fire."

The response of the locals was that fire was from black magic, and nothing was being burned by the fire.

I believe they had to use holy water to put out the fire (generated by black magic).

Then... writhing, screaming, wildly contorting, pulsating and finally melting.

It’s not a matter of believing someone, it’s a matter of someone throwing an unknown liquid in your face. Did she announce that it was holy water?
