(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.

The case is the latest in a string of prosecutions critics have dubbed “thoughtcrimes” where people standing silently near abortion clinics are charged with offenses, even if the incidents occur when the facilities are closed.

Adam Smith-Connor, a medical professional who spent 20 years in the army reserves, will face magistrates on Aug. 9 and is expected to plead not guilty on charges of violating a Public Spaces Protection Order that bans prayer within a buffer zone as a means of expressing approval or disapproval of abortion.
