UK Man Found Guilty of Praying in Abortion Clinic “Buffer Zone” |
Premier Christian News: A Christian man has been found guilty of breaching abortion clinic buffer zone rules after silently praying for his deceased son. Adam Smith-Connor, a military veteran and father of two, was sentenced at Poole Magistrates Court on 16th October to a conditional discharge and was ordered to pay prosecution costs. A conditional discharge is a type of conviction that means Smith-Connor will only be sentenced if he is convicted of any future offences in the next two years. In its decision, the court reasoned that his prayer amounted to “disapproval of abortion” because at one point his head was seen slightly bowed and his hands were clasped. According to Alliance Defending Freedom UK (ADF UK), the organization advocating for Smith-Connor, in November 2022 he spent approximately three minutes praying silently outside an abortion clinic before a local council officer approached him and asked about “the nature of his prayers.” Smith-Connor had previously paid for an abortion for his ex-girlfriend and told the officer that he was praying for his deceased son (Premier Christian News). ADF UK: British courts have found Adam guilty for praying to God, silently in his mind, for 3 minutes in an abortion “buffer zone.” This is the first known conviction of a “thoughtcrime” in modern British history (X). |
