UK police arrest woman after she admits to praying silently outside an abortion clinic

As Twitchy has reported, the Biden administration hasn’t been shy about enforcing the FACE Act (Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances), which prevents protesters from interfering with women entering abortion clinics. In September, a Catholic activist had 30 FBI agents sent to his house to arrest him for allegedly pushing to the ground an elderly clinic escort … on October 13, 2021. Local authorities had looked into it, and there was a threat of a lawsuit … but nearly a year later, the FBI came to his door and arrested him.

We didn’t believe the caption to this video from the U.K., but it’s dead on: Police literally ask a woman if she was praying outside of an abortion clinic, and then arrest her when she refuses to go with them voluntarily to the police station.

Mary Margaret Olohan writes at The Daily Signal:

Authorities have arrested a pro-life woman for silently praying outside an abortion clinic in the United Kingdom.

News of Isabel Vaughan Spruce’s arrest comes amid anxieties over the Justice Department’s crackdown on pro-life activists in the United States, such as Mark Houck, a pro-life father arrested for allegedly pushing an abortion clinic volunteer who was reportedly bothering his son as they prayed outside an abortion clinic.

Footage published by Alliance Defending Freedom shows police confronting Spruce, who has been charged with breaking a Public Space Protection Order for praying silently near an abortion clinic on four different occasions in Kings Norton, Birmingham.

The woman stands silently praying as the police approach her and ask what she is doing, after which she tells them that she “might” be praying in her head.

“Are you praying?” He asks her.

“I might be praying in my head,” she responds.

What business does she have standing there?

Some are saying that the woman already had a few strikes against her for protesting and this was the last straw. Even so … “Are you praying?” A police officer actually asked that before arresting her?
