British woman arrested after praying near abortion clinic wins case

A woman in the United Kingdom has won her case to have charges against her dismissed after she was arrested while praying outside an abortion clinic during the COVID-19 lockdowns.

Rosa Lalor, a 76-year-old grandmother from Liverpool, England, was arrested by the police on Feb. 24, 2021, and fined 200 pounds (roughly $240) under a temporary COVID-19 regulatory measure, with police arguing she did not have a “reasonable excuse” to be outdoors. As of Monday, her penalties have been dismissed, according to ADF International.

“I’m delighted that the prosecution has finally dropped this charge after a long and exhausting battle for justice," Lolar said. "I took this challenge forward with support from ADF U.K. to show that we do all have a fundamental right to pray — not least pray as I did, in the privacy of my own mind."

Lalor had been taking a walk on the morning of her prayer and was wearing a mask and social distancing at the time of her arrest.

I wonder how many children were groomed and how many acid attacks were carried out while these worthless woke Bobbies were arresting Granny.
