"Charges Dropped: British Woman's Silent Prayer Outside Abortion Clinic"

Police in England have dropped charges against a woman who was arrested for silently praying outside an abortion clinic. The woman, Isabel Vaughan-Spruce, received an apology from the police for the length of time it took to reach this decision. The incident occurred in a "buffer zone" where activities like prayer are banned. Vaughan-Spruce expressed her relief at the end of the investigation and highlighted the harmful implications of her ordeal for fundamental freedoms in the UK. Advocates are calling for the protection of freedom of speech and thought, as similar censorship zones are being considered in other parts of the country.

Convicted Anti-Abortion Activists Found Guilty of Blockading DC Clinic

Anti-abortion activist Lauren Handy has been found guilty of breaking federal law by blockading an abortion clinic in Washington DC. Handy and nine other protesters invaded the clinic, with Handy using a fake name to book an appointment and then blocking people from entering the waiting room. The charges against Handy and four co-defendants stem from violations of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act (Face), a federal law that criminalizes threats or blockades at abortion clinics. Abortion providers have called for more prosecutions under the Face Act as incidents of violence and harassment against clinics have increased.
