Thoughtcrime: UK Police Arrest Pro-Life Woman for Silently Praying Outside an Abortion Clinic
By Jim Hoft
A recent incident in the UK serves as a warning of the dangers that Britain’s totalitarian state poses to the right to free speech.
Isabel-Vaughan-Spruce, a charity volunteer, was arrested and charged for a silent prayer “thought crime” near an abortion facility.
Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) released a video on Thursday showing police confronting Spruce, who was arrested for violating a Public Space Protection Order (PSPO) after she was seen praying silently near an abortion facility four times in Kings Norton, Birmingham.
Spruce, a longtime charity worker for vulnerable women and children, was praying in silence when police officers approached her and inquired about what she was doing outside the abortion clinic. She said that she “might be praying in my head, not out loud.”
