Allow me to quote the relevant law for you.

Five local councils have already created such zones, with some carefully advertised with signs detailing that free speech is limited on the premises. In October, a PSPO was declared around an abortion facility in Bournemouth, U.K. A picture of a sign, obtained by ChristianConcern.com, outlined the surface area in red where a number of activities were banned. Among them were “prayer or counseling” as well as “holding vigils where members audibly pray, recite scripture, genuflect, sprinkle holy water on the ground or cross themselves if they perceive a service-users is passing by.”

Now I want you to step back for a minute. This is obviously a set-up. She knew she was likely to be arrested, otherwise why else would there be someone on the scene with a camera filming the whole thing? She obviously knew she was in the wrong and now she's got her knickers in a knot because the local cops are simply following the law.

Having said that it's not a particularly well-written law but it's there and everybody has to follow it. Maybe next time she can pray at home. I'm sure God can hear her prayers just as well when she's in her living room.

I could understand the ''free speech limitation''

but the ''free thinking'' bit?
