Outrage as Elderly Severely Disabled Pro-Life Grandmother is Sentenced to 14 Days in Jail
Veronica Connolly, LifeLeague Volunteer and wheel chair bound Catholic grandmother, was sentenced to 14 days in jail today by Solihull Magistrates Court court at 12.15 because she refused to pay a court fine imposed for showing graphic abortion photos. She did so as a matter of religious conscience.
This is nothing short of a cruel attack upon the whole pro-life community, not to mention the principles of freedom of speech and freedom of expression.
LifeLeague activists who were present in court are proud to be associated with her. We are honoured to have pro-life heroes like Veronica in our ranks. We have supported her every inch of the way and will continue to do so. In addition, we will carry on the important work of displaying graphic abortion photographs - the only true way of winning hearts and minds in today's culture war.
Please pray for LifeLeague Coordinator Jim Dowson at the moment as he is trying to ensure that Veronica doesn’t suffer any further distress.
