More than seven months after the event, Ealing Council have decided to prosecute me for Day 1 of February\u2019s Buffer Zone Challenge.<\/p>\n

\"Stephen<\/a>
Stephen Green on 6th February 2023 outside Marie Stopes abortion facility in Mattock Lane, Ealing.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Challenge involved a witness over five days, from Monday 6th February to Friday 10th February 2023, within the five Public Spaces Protection Order \u2018Safe Zones\u2019 local authorities in England had set up around commercial abortion facilities in their areas.<\/p>\n

The five were, in order, Ealing, Twickenham, Bournemouth, Manchester and Birmingham. The final four went off without incident. In Bournemouth, outside British Pregnancy Advisory Services (BPAS), the police attended and heard the Gospel.<\/p>\n

I am to appear for a preliminary hearing<\/u> at 10am at Uxbridge Magistrates Court, Harefield Road, UB8 1PQ, on 17th October 2023.<\/p>\n

Stop Abortion Buffer Zones \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n

‘I did something!<\/h2>\n

The charge sheet reads:
\n\u2018On 6th February 2023, you did something you were prohibited from doing in an area which is within the Mattock Lane Safe Zone Public Spaces Protection Order outside the MSI Reproductive Choices Clinic in that you:<\/p>\n

\u2018a) Protested by engaging in an act of disapproval or attempted act of act of disapproval with respect to issues related to abortion services, by written means in that you were holding a large sign displaying the text \u2018Psalm 139:13 For thou hast possessed me (sic) reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018b) Had text displayed on a large sign namely \u2018\u2018Psalm 139:13 For thou hast possessed me (sic) reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb\u2019 relating directly or indirectly to the termination of pregnancy.<\/p>\n

\u2018Contrary to Section 67 (1) (a) Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014.\u2019<\/p>\n

Bible on trial<\/h2>\n

Make no mistake,\u00a0 the Bible itself will be on trial in this case which is an\u00a0assault on Christian freedom.<\/p>\n

King Charles took his oath on the King James Bible at his coronation on 6th May, but he would not be allowed to read from it outside Marie Stopes in Ealing.<\/p>\n

PRAY<\/b>: that God is glorified. Praise the Lord that a lawyer has already read a verse from the Bible (even if he or she couldn\u2019t quote it properly.)<\/p>\n

Your support in Uxbridge on 17th October will be welcome<\/u>.<\/p>\n
