You know you live in scary times when the simple act of prayer lands you in trouble.<\/p>\n
Although this happened in Britain, America, which shares much of the same Western ideology, likely isn\u2019t far behind.<\/p>\n
Pat Gray plays the clip of a woman being confronted by law enforcement for \u201csilently praying\u201d outside an abortion center in Britain.<\/p>\n
The officer, reading from some kind of handbook, asked a range of questions, such as, \u201cAre you here as part of an organized protest,\u201d \u201cAre you part of a pro-life organization or pro-choice organization,\u201d and \u201cAre you protesting?\u201d<\/p>\n
The woman responded \u201cno\u201d to all of the questions.<\/p>\n
\u201cCan your action be carried out elsewhere?\u201d the officer pressed.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can pray elsewhere, but I want to pray here today,\u201d the woman responded.<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you aware that there is a Public Space Protection Order in place here?\u201d the officer inquired, to which the woman responded that she was aware of the order but did not believe she needed to move because she was only praying silently and\u00a0not<\/em>\u00a0protesting.<\/p>\n The officer then informed her that she would be issued \u201ca fixed penalty notice … for failing to comply with the Public Space Protection Order and the Antisocial Behavior Crime and Policing Act of 2014.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cJust to make it clear, I\u2019m not protesting,\u201d the woman said again, but the officer\u2019s only response was \u201cOK\u201d before she issued the fine anyway.<\/p>\n \u201cShe wasn\u2019t hitting people with a hammer as they walked by. She wasn\u2019t blocking an entrance. She wasn\u2019t doing anything but praying on the sidewalk,\u201d sighs Pat Gray in disbelief, \u201cand you can\u2019t do that in Great Britain?\u201d<\/p>\n Read more at: theblaze.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" You know you live in scary times when the simple act of prayer lands you in trouble.
