Charges Dropped against Christian Woman Arrested after Silently Praying in Her Head Outside Clinic—but She Plans to Continue the Battle

Billy Hallowell : Feb 6, 2023  Faithwire.com

"Many of us need an answer as to whether it's still lawful to pray silently in our own heads. That's why I'll be pursuing a verdict regarding my charges in court." -Isabel Vaughan-Spruce

(United Kingdom) — [Faithwire.com] UK authorities have dropped charges against a charity worker who was criminally charged for praying near an abortion clinic, but her case might be far from over. (Screengrab image)

Crown Prosecution Service's (CPS) charges against Isabel Vaughan-Spruce have been dismissed, but she has no plans of stepping away from the legal battle.

According to a press release from her attorneys with Alliance Defending Freedom UK, Vaughan-Spruce "will continue to await justice as she states her intention to pursue full dismissal of her charges."

Uncertainty as to her legal rights has led the charity worker to fear potential new charges or legal issues moving forward, so she's looking for a "clear verdict in court."

"Given the nature of Vaughan-Spruce's regular voluntary work in offering charitable support to women in crisis pregnancies near abortion facilities, the discontinuance has left her with significant legal unclarity moving forward, given that CPS made clear that the charges ‘may well start again' in the near future subject to further evidential review," the statement reads.

As CBN News previously reported, Vaughan-Spruce, the director of the UK March for Life, was arrested in Birmingham, England, this past December after she said she "might" be silently praying when questioned as to why she was standing on a public street near an abortion clinic.

Vaughan-Spruce was reportedly silent before police approached her and had no signage in her hands. Her offense? According to CBN News, authorities received complaints from an onlooker who suspected she was praying silently in her mind in a so-called "censorship zone."

Video of her police encounter went viral and sparked an international reaction... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
