Arresting people for silent prayer. In Heaven or Purgatory, I hope, Orwell is saying that he predicted this, and in Hell Stalin and Hitler are taking notes. There is nothing more totalitarian than punishing people for what they think. That this is done to protect the sacred rite of abortion comes as absolutely no surprise.
Vance made reference in his address to Christian convert Adam Smith-Connor:
“A little over two years ago, the British government charged Adam Smith-Connor, a 51-year-old physiotherapist and an Army veteran, with the heinous crime of standing 50 meters from an abortion clinic [in Bournemouth, Dorset, UK] and silently praying for three minutes, not obstructing anyone, not interacting with anyone, just silently praying on his own.”) (UK Independent)
As perhaps people know, Smith-Connor regretted his participating in the abortion of his unborn son many years ago, driving his girlfriend to an abortion clinic and paying for the medical expenses.
The pro-abortion BBC News: “On the day, [Smith-Connor] was asked to leave the area by a community officer who spoke to him for an hour and 40 minutes, but he refused.
A public consultation by Bournemouth City Council found 75% of 2,241 residents supported the introduction of a buffer zone at the site which had previously been a focal point for people to gather and pray.”
“A new [2024] law means buffer zones will come into force outside all abortion clinics in England and Wales at the end of October, 2024, prohibiting protests within 150m.”
Desperate times for the Abort Oligarchs call for desperate measures.
What if you went to pray for what these people call a “successful” abortion?
Might be an interesting Stokes monkey trial sort of case 🤔
The British isles may have acquired Europe’s most abusive political class.
Correction: Scopes monkey trial.
Would be nice if I could edit and hide my error… just sayin’
Scotland makes me ashamed to have Scottish ancestry, small as it is.
Thankfully the United States Constitution has a 2nd Amendment to protect the 1st.
What are they going to charge her with? Standing around holding a sign…
The United States Declaration of Independence declares all men to be sovereign citizens who institute their government. In Britan the people are subjects to the King. The crown heads of Europe claim to be direct descendants of Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene.after Christ came down from the cross and escaped to France with Magdalene and brought forth the Carolingian and the Merolingian line of kings.
I sure wish the royalty behaved like royalty
Merovingian line of kings. Sorry about misspelling.
