Adam Smith-Connor was issued with a fixed penalty notice on 13 December 2022 after allegedly being in breach of an abortion clinic "buffer zone" in Bournemouth the previous month.
He told officers he had been "praying for his deceased son" who was aborted by an ex-girlfriend, a decision he now regrets. CT.
