CWN Editor's Note: A British military veteran has been found guilty of criminal conduct for praying silently outside an abortion clinic, ordered to pay £9,700 ($11,700), and threatened with a jail sentence if he repeats the offense.

Adam Smith-Connor was convicted of violating a public “safe zone” outside an abortion clinic in Bournemouth in 2022 by standing silently with his head bowed in prayer.
