London 7th September 2024: March for Life UK and counter protest

Pro-Life, pro-abortion, anti-abortion, anti-life. The arguments are complex and difficult to have, and I'm not sure shouting at each other across a divide is the way to make progress. However, arresting someone for praying silently on a public footpath outside a clinic is a frightening example of state over-reach and a very worrying development. Policing thoughts is not ok. Slice by slice, our freedoms are being cut away.
