Listen everyone
someone named "Joe Holland" got arrested for praying outside of a chicago abortion facility!!!
pray that the charges will be dropped.
www.arrestedforpraying.com (http://www.arrestedforpraying.com)
there maybe coming a time where it'll be illegal to pray
and i hope that day never comes.
if it does, it won't stop me from praying or reading God's word.
there is NOTHING MAN CAN DO OR SAY TO ME THAT'LL MAKE ME SHUT UP FROM TELLING THE GOOD NEWS, WHAT'S IN GOD'S WORD, AND PRAYING!!!!

praying is one thing.....blocking the door so no one can get in while kneeling/harassing entering persons is another
I'm not sure I buy this "HE WAS ARRESTED FOR JUST PRAYING WE SWEARZZZZZ"

If the video on the website is to be believed, he was simply standing there praying the rosary, not talking to anyone, and definitely not blocking the door.

Reading the letter of the law seems to suggest he would still be in violation of it however. If he was near the door, which he seems to have been, he most certainly would have, at some point, been within 8 feet of a woman entering the clinic within the illegal 50 foot barrier around the clinic.
That being said, it seems as if the Clinic most likely brought him to the attention of authorities regardless of whether he was being disruptive or not simply because they did not want him there. However, he does seem to have been in violation of the law, FWIW.

This just seems to be unfortunate all the way around.
