CNA Newsroom, Dec 30, 2022 / 08:04 am A woman arrested by British police faces charges of “protesting and engaging in an act that is intimidating to service users” for standing still and praying silently outside an abortion facility.
Isabel Vaughan-Spruce was arrested in Birmingham, UK, on Dec. 6.
Video footage of her arrest was published on social media. The video shows an officer asking Vaughan-Spruce if she was praying, to which she answers: “I might be praying in my head.”
Following a further exchange with police, the 45-year-old was arrested and interrogated. Vaughan-Spruce is the director of March for Life UK.
She was charged Dec. 15 with four counts of breaking a Public Space Protection Order (PSPO) around the abortion facility. A PSPO is intended to stop antisocial behavior. The terms of the PSPO include prayer under ‘protest,’ which is banned within the ‘buffer zone’ around the clinic.
Vaughan-Spruce is accused of “protesting and engaging in an act that is intimidating to service users” for standing still and praying silently inside a buffer zone.
At the time of Vaughan-Spruce’s arrest, the abortion facility outside which she was standing was closed.
Speaking about her pro-life work, Vaughan-Spruce said, “I have devoted much of my life to supporting women in crisis pregnancies with everything that they need to make an empowered choice for motherhood.”

So much for civil rights in England.
Coming soon to America.
If I understand this correctly, they are admitting that she put the far of God into them.
Prayer is violence.
They have neither the First or Second Amendment over there.
Prince Harry even called the First Amendment “bonkers”.
It seems like everyone has forgotten that.
The EU is every bit as authoritarian as North Korea, they just don't have that much control yet.
Christ said They will come for you
See that the Lord is over the state and has not just the first claim on your loyalty but the only legitimate claim on it and you become sane.
Yes, because a woman praying is intimidating.
Before she passed away in 2022, Queen Elizabeth II wrote in preparation for her memorial ceremonies and final burial:
“Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?”
Queen Elizabeth I: “I will make no windows into men’s souls.”

I can totally understand how the clinic workers could be

Religious zealots, especially ones that believe in an afterlife, or have 'moral' convictions might persuaded to do anything to further their goals.
there is nothing worse than a person who starts a crusade, gathers followers,
annoys their betters
all with 100% conviction that they are right.
These people are not rational and thus capable of anything

Like Jesus dying on the Cross, right?
It ia already here.
10 thousand muslims blocking public streets to pray so they can demonstrate their public conquest of London is not intimidation.
Paki gangs grooming and raping white English girls is not intimidation.
Silently holding a solo vigil on the sidewalk is “intimidation.”
Hard to believe the sun never set on the British empire.
Just another version of fascism ... English version.
Silence is violence. If you don’t actively agree with the satanic agenda then you are guilty.
