The British police are targeting a pro-life leader again, saying her mere act of standing near an abortion business is somehow “harassment.”
Isabel Vaughan-Spruce was previously arrested by London police for silently praying outside an abortion center. Vaughan-Spruce ultimately won her legal case with a settlement from the police.
Now, West Midlands Police have again targeted her.

In a new video posted to X, a police officer says Vaughan-Spruce has to leave where she is standing silently and peacefully because her mere presence constitutes “harassment.” The officer absurdly claims that the fact that people know who she is, as the head of an anti-abortion organization, is harassment in and of itself.
The harassment comes despite Vaughan-Spruce contending police have informed her she has a right to be outside the abortion center.

Vaughn-Spruce condemned the police officer’s actions against her.
“So the police have gone from telling me my prayers are an offence to saying that I am the offence! It’s all very well the police awarding me compensation in a settlement but if that doesn’t translate into changes, what’s it worth?” she wrote.
She told LifeNews: “The police have gone from telling me my prayers are an offence to saying that I am the offence! It’s all very well the police awarding me compensation in a settlement but if that doesn’t translate into changes, what’s it worth?”
The pro-life legal group Alliance Defending Freedom also condemned the police targeting in their X post.
“Changing tact from going after her prayers, they now claim her “mere presence” is “harassment”. Nobody should be banned from a public area just because of their beliefs. THIS is two-tier policing,” it said.
