UK Criminalizes Silent Prayer as “Buffer Zone” Law Targets Christian Witness
EWTN News portal (January 29, 2026) reports the criminal prosecution of Isabel Vaughan-Spruce under the Public Order Act 2023 for silently praying within 150 meters of a Kings Norton abortion facility. The article frames the case as a conflict between “buffer zone” regulations protecting women from alleged harassment and Vaughan-Spruce’s claim of “viewpoint discrimination” through her peaceful demonstration. This relativistic framing exposes the naturalistic foundations of modern jurisprudence which criminalizes supernatural consciousness while protecting child murder.
