<p>A 76-year-old <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/pro-life">pro-life</a> woman who was arrested and fined for silently <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/prayer">praying</a> outside an <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/i-went-to-the-clinic-of-the-dc-abortionist-accused-of-gruesome-crimes-heres-what-i-saw">abortion clinic</a> in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-reporter-asks-liverpool-manager-about-coronavirus-his-response-goes-viral">Liverpool</a> has had her penalty dismissed.</p>
<p>Rosa Lalor, a grandmother, was arrested, detained, and issued a fine by officers in February 2021 for supposedly breaking COVID lockdown measures with &#8220;protest.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Merseyside Police have now conceded that such detention was wrong, and that Lalor was acting within her rights, indeed having a &#8216;reasonable excuse&#8217; to be outdoors praying,&#8221; human rights group Alliance Defending Freedom (U.K.) <a href="https://adf.uk/public-prayer-ban/">announced</a> in a press release issued Monday.</p>
<p>“I’m delighted that the prosecution has finally dropped this charge after a long and exhausting battle for justice,&#8221; Lalor said.</p>
<p>&#8220;I took this challenge forward with support from ADF UK to show that we do all have a fundamental right to pray – not least pray as I did, in the privacy of my own mind,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;It was wrong for the police officer to tell me that I could not pray in a public street. It’s important for officers to respect basic religious freedom, and improve their understanding of how that right manifests, in order to maintain a truly tolerant society.&#8221;</p>
<p>Jeremiah Igunnubole, ADF U.K. legal counsel for Lalor, noted that while his client ultimately won in court, it&#8217;s &#8220;deeply regrettable&#8221; Lalor had to endure such suffering for merely praying in public, suggesting she was really persecuted for her pro-life views.</p>
<p>“We’re thrilled to celebrate a victory for Rosa today, but it is deeply regrettable that this law-abiding woman was subjected to distressing, drawn-out criminal proceedings in the first place, no doubt due to her pro-life stance,&#8221; he slammed.</p>
<p>&#8220;This follows a worrying trend in law enforcement where individuals are routinely arrested simply because their views are considered to be controversial or offensive,” Igunnubole added.</p>

<p>Back here in the United States, a pro-life woman this month was awarded $5.1 million by a jury, finding that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/southwest-airlines">Southwest Airlines</a> canned the 20-year veteran flight attendant for her <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/religion">religious beliefs</a>, namely her <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/pro-life">pro-life views</a>.</p>
<p>Charlene Carter expressed her pro-life stance online and pushed back against the Transport Workers Union of America (TWU) Local 556 union after the group, including president Audrey Stone, attended the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/womens-march">Women’s March</a> in Washington, D.C., in 2017. The event receives funding from <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98xR1grjqBY">Planned Parenthood</a>, the largest abortion mill in the country.</p>
<p>“Today is a victory for freedom of speech and religious beliefs. Flight attendants should have a voice and nobody should be able to retaliate against a flight attendant for engaging in protected speech against her union,” Carter <a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/southwest-flight-attendant-awarded-5m-after-firing-over-abortion-stance">told</a> FOX Business last week. “I am so humbled and thankful for today’s decision and for everyone who’s supported me these past five years, including the National Right to Work Foundation.”</p>
