This was despite the fact that all this happened while the abortion facility was closed.<\/p><p>\u201cI pray wherever I go, inside my head, for the people around me. How can it be a crime for a priest to pray? I often pray in my head near the abortion facility, but when confronted by the authorities, I was praying for free speech, which is under severe pressure in our country today. At all times, I believed my actions to be lawful \u2013 freedom of expression, especially when peaceful, is protected in domestic and international law. It is deeply undemocratic to censor public streets, particularly those spaces where we know that many women have benefitted from peaceful offers of help about services available,\u201d said Father Sean Gough.<\/p><p>When police officers initially approached the priest holding the \u201cpraying for free speech sign\u201d, they told Father Gough that they did not think that he was breaking rules. However, the priest was later invited for interview at the police station, interrogated on his actions, and eventually criminally charged.<\/p><p>The Crown Prosecution Service subsequently dropped the charges against Father Gough, but made clear that they could be reinstated. Like Isabel Vaughan-Spruce, Father Gough then pursued a clear verdict on his charges in court, in order to clear his name.<\/p><p>Amid several recent cases of individuals facing fines or criminal charges for praying near abortion facilities, Father Gough marks the first where prayer that is not related to abortion, but to free speech, has led to criminalisation.<\/p><p>\u201cThis case demonstrates the far-reaching and illiberal consequences of so-called \u2018buffer zones\u2019. Father Sean\u2019s years of service to women in crisis pregnancies are testimony to the good of his character and intention,\u201d commented Jeremiah Igunnubole, legal counsel for ADF UK, the organisation supporting Father Sean Gough.<\/p><p>Father Gough volunteers much of his time in service to women in crisis pregnancies.<\/p><p>\u201cA large part of my ministry is working for \u2018Rachel\u2019s Vineyard,\u2019 a charity that supports the healing of hundreds of women and men in the UK every year wounded by abortion. I don\u2019t judge or condemn those who have had abortions \u2013 but volunteer my time to work for their healing,\u201d he said.<\/p><p>\u201cIt\u2019s an issue that means a lot to me because my mom made a bold choice for life when I was a baby. I was conceived in the context of severe violence, and she found the grace and strength to fight for us both. So many people thought she should abort me, but by the grace of God, she didn\u2019t, and we\u2019re both so grateful for that today,\u201d Father Gough continued.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c4c1dd6 elementor-share-buttons--view-icon elementor-share-buttons--skin-framed
