Twitter erupts over clip of UK woman arrested for silently praying across from abortion clinic: 'Terrifying'
FoxNews ^ | December 22, 2022 | Gabriel Hays

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.

The cop asks her if she would voluntarily accompany him to the police station. She replies if she has a choice, no. So he arrests her and takes her to the station.

I imagine our own baby killers just salivate when thinking they could get such a law here. They'll show those 40 Days for Life demonstators.

Leftists all seem to be bullies.

Since an incident where I was bullied in junior high and no one in a circle around us did a thing to help me, I’ve have a grudge and anger issues.

To borrow a slogan from them, if you don’t like doing the time then don’t do the crime.

If we’re supposed to avoid vigilante justice*——the only true justice with righteous purity-—then turn good, cops. FBI, too. You know you’re sinning and doing evil. Just stop.

*other is pseudo justice. Perps let go and juries not allowed to hear taped confessions and see video showing the crime because the little pansies’ rights weren’t offered properly on time.

What was the point of Brexi if the Brits have adopted EU style totalitarianism anyway.

Was going that way before Brexit. I lived there. Could tell you some chilling stories. And that was in the 90s.

The following WILL happen. The spirit of antichrist is paving the way for Satan's anti-messiah and the accompanying False Prophet. Spread the Gospel and the Word of the Lord - around the world - as much as possible. While we still can do his work to bring in the harvest. Keep praying!



Revelation 14 has all the answers on which is the right choice. I'm a pre-tribber, but I still put this info out there, for the world to read. The published Word of God will not return unto Him without serving His purpose in some way.

====

Revelation 14:9-12 King James Version (KJV)

9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,

10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:

11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

====

(now this part just talks about them (eventually reigning) during the Millennial Reign of Christ)

Revelation 20:4 King James Version (KJV)

4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

[England is dead.]

Brother Dave Hunt (RIP, now with the Lord) noted in 2001 that in England, more people worshiped in mosques than Christian churches.

And later, Barry said (of America) “We are no longer a Christian nation...”.....and then continued to do pretty much what I expected him to do: Promote and support virtually every godless agenda out there.

I am not surprised at all. 20 years ago I was in London and a street preacher was shouting out the Gospel near Kings Cross Railway Station. It was hit and run witnessing. He gave the message quickly then ran. Not 30 seconds later police were on the scene. Now there would be no escape given the amount of CCTV cameras there.

Queen Elizabeth II left something for all to consider:

“Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?”

I used to attend all the support the cops rallies. No more. They’ve sold out to the left.
