The US vice president has publicly criticised the UK authorities' use of so-called buffer zones legislation regarding abortion facilities and for overseeing a “backslide away from” freedom of conscience and religious liberties in the country.
His comments were made today ay the Munich Security Conference in Germany during a speech that addressed concerns around maintaining religious liberty, conscientious rights and free speech, and which made reference to the arrest and prosecution of Adam Smith-Connor, who in October 2024 was convicted for simply praying in his head near an abortion facility in England.
