She stood in silence for 20 years. Then, a simple answer to a policeman—“I might be praying in my head”—led to handcuffs. In this powerful speech from Episode 172, a Scottish human rights lawyer breaks down the viral 2022 arrest of Isabel Vaughan-Spruce and reveals the hidden battle behind the UK’s buffer zones. From a midwife suspended for her beliefs to a veteran fined £9,000 for silent prayer, these are the stories the media won’t tell you. Is the West criminalizing thought? Watch the full breakdown of how one woman’s quiet faith sparked global outrage.📲 Follow for Updates:📸 Instagram, TikTok & Facebook: @drjoannahowe🐦 X/Twitter: @ProfJoannaHowe🎙️ Podcast available on all platforms: https://thedrjoshow.transistor.fm/📩 Join my weekly e-newsletter: https://www.drjoannahowe.com.au/join🙏 Help raise awareness of Australia’s extreme abortion laws by donating here: https://www.drjoannahowe.com.au/donate
