CWN Editor's Note: An English pro-life activist has won a £13,000 payment from police who improperly arrested her for engaging in silent prayer outside an abortion clinic.
Isabel Vaughan-Spruce, a director of March for Life UK, had been arrested for standing quietly outside the clinic. When police said that she was subject to arrest for protesting within a “safe-access zone,” she pointed out that she was not making any sort of demonstration, but allowed that “I might be praying in my head.”
