Twitter erupts over clip of UK woman arrested for silently praying across from abortion clinic: 'Terrifying'

Conservatives and free speech activists on Twitter railed against a recent video depicting police interrogating and ultimately arresting a pro-life woman who was silently praying outside a U.K. abortion clinic.

Those who watched the woman's arrest after admitting she was "praying in my head" were appalled. Some claimed this was proof that Great Britain had become a dystopia.

The woman who was arrested, Isabel Vaughan-Spruce, is the director of the U.K. March for Life.

According to Alliance Defending Freedom UK (ADF UK), Vaughan-Spruce "was standing near the BPAS Robert Clinic in Kings Norton, Birmingham in an area ADF UK called a 'censorship zone,' when police approached her after an onlooker complained she might be praying outside the abortion facility." According to ADF UK, Birmingham authorities have established buffer zones near abortion clinics, making it illegal for people to engage in behavior disapproving or approving of abortion. This includes "graphic, verbal or written means, prayer or counseling."

A videotape of the arrest of this dangerous criminal can be seen at the link.


Even more maddening is the fact that British police no longer have the time to investigate crimes like theft and burglary. They are devoting their efforts to investigate non-crimes like this.
