About this sermon
The priest accused of breaking the law for praying outside an abortion clinic in the UK says he was proud to be a voice for the unborn. Father Sean Gough was charged with intimidating the users of a closed abortion clinic by standing nearby with a sign that read "Praying for Free Speech." He faced a second charge related to an "Unborn Lives Matter" sticker on his parked car. Fr. Gough has since been cleared of all charges. Fr. Gough joins to share whether he was doing anything beyond praying at this abortion clinic. His story is similar to that of Isabel Vaughan-Spruce, the British woman who was arrested for also praying silently outside an abortion clinic. Fr. Gough explains what is going on over in the UK with this apparent crackdown on free speech and how it can be considered a criminal offense. He discusses what the reaction has been over his story and whether people are alarmed at what really looks like an erosion of rights and freedoms in the UK. Fr. Gough fills us in on his next steps and whether he will go back to praying outside abortion clinics in his country.
