An army veteran who was fined for praying silently within an abortion clinic 'buffer zone' will not face criminal charges.
Adam Smith-Connor was approached six months ago by community safety officers near an abortion clinic in Bournemouth.
A Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) zone was imposed around the clinic by the local council last October banning prayer, counselling and acts of "approval/disapproval, with respect to issues related to abortion services, by any means".
Smith-Connor had been praying silently for his son who was aborted over 20 years ago and for the women, men, and children still being impacted by abortion today.
