Local police have discontinued their investigation of a U.K. woman who was arrested in March for the alleged crime of silently praying outside an abortion clinic — a “crime” for which she had just been acquitted.
Isabel Vaughan-Spruce, director of March for Life UK, was confronted by police while silently praying outside a Birmingham abortion clinic on March 6. Video of the incident, posted online by ADF UK, which supported her legal defense, showed a policeman telling her to “step outside the exclusion zone” around the clinic — an area the Birmingham City Council designated to be free of all impediments to the so-called right to kill one’s unborn offspring.
