U.K. prosecutors ‘discontinue’ charges against woman in silent prayer near abortion clinic

A British woman arrested in Birmingham, England, for standing silently near an abortion clinic that was closed at the time will pursue vindication in court even after the case had been “discontinued” by local prosecutors, though the charges could be revived.

“It’s vital that I have clarity as to my legal status,” said Isabel Vaughan-Spruce, 45, who was taken into custody last Dec. 6 after telling police officers that she “might” have prayed in her mind while standing silently near a clinic.

She was searched, her pockets emptied, and driven to a police station, actions shown in a viral video that’s had close to 48,000 views since it was posted on YouTube in late December.
