Man charged for silently praying near abortion clinic in England, critics call it a ‘thoughtcrime’
(Worthy News) – Authorities in Bournemouth, England, have criminally charged a British army veteran for praying silently while standing in a buffer zone outside an abortion clinic, his attorneys said Friday.
