'Thoughtcrime': Army veteran convicted for silent prayer interpreted as 'disapproval of abortion'
-
A new low. Man literally did nothing.
Adam Smith-Connor, a British Army Reserves veteran who served in Afghanistan, received a "conditional discharge" [and] £9,000 [penalty]...
Smith-Connor prayed for a few minutes outside an abortion clinic in November 2022 when officers questioned him about "the nature of your prayer"...
He was SILENT as he prayed for.......... wait for it....... His own deceased loved one.
Freedom of religion in the United Kingdom does not necessarily extend to private thoughts...
But, whole point of Elizabethan Religious Settlement, was to ALLOW private thoughts.
