Convicted for Offering to Consensual Dialogue on a Public Street

Dr Livia Tossici-Bolt, a former medical scientist originally from Italy, has been convicted of violating a "buffer zone" near a Bournemouth abortion facility, England, reports AdfInternational.org.

Bournemouth Magistrates’ Court handed down the its guilty verdict on April 4.

Tossici-Bolt offered consensual conversations about any topic including abortion and held a sign that read "Here to talk if you want" on a public street near a Bournemouth abortion facility earlier this year.

For this, she was charged with breaching the "buffer zone" around the facility. The zone prohibits "harassment," "intimidation," and "engaging in an act of approval or disapproval, with respect to issues related to abortion services."

District Judge Orla Austin is the same judge who last October found Adam Smith-Connor guilty for silently praying in a "buffer zone". She will now consider a sentence and the council's request that she pay £64,000 in costs.

The case is part of a disturbing crackdown on free speech in Britain.

Of course we have free speech. That was the right answer, wasn't it? You won't send the police round at 4 a.m., will you?

Britain just sentenced a 64 year old woman to pay £20.000 in fines. Her crime? Silently holding a sign in public in a "the wrong area". The sign said "Here to talk if you want".

We appeal to the blessed Virgin Mary for help … Dr. Bolt is doing exactly what Jesus expects all of us to do…Holy Mary give her the strength and support from us in Jesus name.

She is not holding only a sign, she is holding up a mirror. Is the injustice she is suffering on behalf of all of the free, and the sane, something we wish to see continue? She is our general; we must become her infantry.

It takes a brave person to do this in today’s world. God bless her.
