1984…. Police ‘can’t decide’ if anti-abortion campaigner should be charged for silent prayer Catholic charity worker says someone’s thoughts ‘cannot possibly be a crime’ and her ‘punishment has clearly been the process’ Police and prosecutors are “frozen with indecision” over whether to charge a woman for silently praying near an abortion clinic, campaigners have claimed. Isabel Vaughan-Spruce, a Catholic charity worker, is being investigated by West Midlands Police for allegedly breaching a new buffer-zone law intended to prevent people protesting near abortion centres. The legislation does not stipulate whether silent prayer is outlawed, but an investigation into her actions was launched in January and is being seen as an important test case. In August the matter was passed to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) for consideration, but, more than 10 months after the initial investigation was launched, still no decision has been made.
