CWN Editor's Note: A court in Spain’s Basque Country acquitted 21 peaceful pro-life protestors of harassment charges.
The participants in the prayer vigil, who took part in a 40 Days for Life campaign, stood 50 feet from an abortion clinic and displayed posters with messages like “you are not alone, we are here to help you.”
The court ruled that the protestors had “done nothing more than exercise their free right of assembly” and behaved in an “exquisitely peaceful manner.” Prosecutors had sought five-month prison sentences.
