The Christian woman at the centre of the free speech row between the United States and the UK was today convicted of breaching abortion clinic “buffer zone” rules.
Dr Livia Tossici-Bolt was prosecuted after she refused to pay a fixed penalty notice as a punishment for holding up a sign outside an abortion clinic in Bournemouth which read: “Here to talk, if you want.”
The 64-year-old Bournemouth doctor was found guilty at Poole Magistrates’ Court after District Judge Orla Austin ruled that council officers had a reasonable belief that she was in violation of the Public Spaces Prohibition Order (PSPO).
