Isabel Vaughan-Spruce entered the pleas at Birmingham Magistrates’ Court on 7 October after Judge Tan Ikram allowed prosecutors to replace the earlier charges with separate counts covering five alleged incidents.
The case concerns her presence outside an abortion clinic, where she says she was praying silently. Prosecutors allege she intended to influence, or was reckless as to whether her actions influenced, decisions about accessing or providing abortion services. CT.
