74-Year-Old Woman Charged for Silent Vigil
JD Vance is correct. The threat to freedom in Europe does not come from Russia, which can’t even conquer Ukraine. The threat comes from within. This is tyranny:
A 74-year-old woman has been charged after silently praying outside an abortion clinic in Scotland less than a week after U.S. Vice President JD Vance highlighted the draconian thought crime laws in the UK.
Rose Docherty was arrested under the Abortion Services (Safe Access Zones) Act. Using the word “safe” to name such a dangerous law is as quintessentially leftist as calling an inflationary wasteful spending blowout the Inflation Reduction Act.
The law, which came into force last year, prohibits any protests or vigils being held within 200m (656ft) of abortion clinics in Scotland, mirroring similar restrictions enacted in England and Wales.
Confessing to having silent thoughts that do not favor abortion counts as a protest. That’s why they call it “thoughtcrime.”
This must be how authorities knew she was committing wrongthink:
The woman was also seen carrying a sign that read, “Coercion is a crime. I’m here to talk, only if you want.”
Coercion is a crime all right. But under leftism, the criminals are in charge. Hence, even praying in your own home might be prosecuted, as the Scottish government warned in a letter to residents that included this:
“In general, the offences apply in public places within the Safe Access Zones. However, activities in a private place (such as a house) within the area between the protected premises and the boundary of a Zone could be an offence if they can be seen or heard within the Zone and done intentionally or recklessly.”
Having solved all other problems, the moonbats running the remnants of Great Britain turn their attention to Christians who engage in reckless praying.
The letter went on to call for residents to report anyone they believed to be in violation of the law to Police Scotland.
The similarly repressive regime in East Germany likewise relied heavily on informants.
The woman being targeted by police was Rose Docherty, a woman holding a sign reading:
“Coercion is a crime. Here to talk, only if you want.”
