The moment three police officers arrest a prolife woman for standing silently on the pavement, praying in her head. I have no words to describe the deep sense of shame, embarrassment, and anger I feel when I think about what has happened to my homeland. adf.uk/support-isabel
@Paul_B_Coleman She was arrested for breaching a so-called "speech buffer zone" established by the local council, even though there wasn't any speech. The police are dupes, the real villains are the council.
@Paul_B_Coleman Not really the full story is it? She has been loitering around an abortion clinic and politely requested to move on several times before the arrest was made.
@Paul_B_Coleman But you aren't telling the truth. She wasn't arrested for praying. She was arrested for violating the buffer zone at the clinic. Why do y'all feel the need to lie?
@Paul_B_Coleman She is in breach of an exclusion zone protecting people accessing legal healthcare from intimidation. She is welcome to pray wherever she wishes, just not to intimidate others while she does so.
@Paul_B_Coleman It wasn't because she was praying. She was in an exclusion zone for the purpose of being seen by those seeking abortion advice.
@Paul_B_Coleman This woman was arrested for intimidating vulnerable and distressed women going about their lawful business. She may have been motivated by her belief in invisible friends, but her motivation is irrelevant.
@Paul_B_Coleman Didn't Jesus say to pray at home in private and not on the street corners to be seen? I'm pretty confident that this person was NOT praying according to Jesus' instructions.
@Paul_B_Coleman I'm sure Paul is definitely telling us the full story here and is in no way omitting pretty vital details...
@Paul_B_Coleman If prayer worked why does she have to be on the street. Surely it would have the same impact if she was at home.
