A new law establishing “buffer zones” around abortion clinics has taken effect across the United Kingdom, prohibiting protests within 150 meters (164 yards) of these facilities.

The legislation, which came into force this week, makes it illegal to engage in activities intended to influence or obstruct individuals accessing abortion services, including silent prayer.

The new law, which went into effect Thursday, bars protests — including silent prayer, handing out anti-abortion leaflets, and holding vigils — within a 150-meter radius of abortion facilities.

Thought crime is now real in Airstrip One.

Prayers in ones head (ie thoughts), with no other action or indications of your views, is now illegal in UK.
How would they know if someone is silently praying? They aren’t mind readers

Yet protests outside churches is legal, what hyocrites. Denying the right to protest.

I have noticed this with the Left. They claim to be the party that upholds democracy but they engegae in anti democratic behaviour. Everything from denying their own party democratic processes in choosing the best candidate that represents the people, keeping an incompetent president in power and parachuting the elites choice of presidential candidate in Harris.

To the many restrictions on religious and free speech rights and manipulating the media by controlling the information which promotes pro Harris while denying pro Trump and the constant lawfare against Trump and his supporters.

Don't worry about a potential Trump denying democracy lets be realistic and realise that right here and now is a government that is denying and destroying democracy and freedoms.
