A judge has thrown out the case against a pro-life mom who was praying outside an abortion center.
Claire Brennan, a mother of four, became the first person convicted under Northern Ireland’s controversial abortion “censorship zone” law that bans pro-life free speech outside abortion businesses.
Claire had been charged for alleged breaches of the Abortion Services (Safe Access Zones) Act 2023 after peacefully praying and offering support to women outside Causeway Hospital in Coleraine. The hospital kills babies in abortions.
However, at her trial hearing, key charges were dropped, witnesses failed to attend, and the remaining evidence was deemed insufficient to sustain a conviction.
Claire was accused of “influencing” individuals within a 150-metre “safe access zone” around the abortion center.
Brennan has consistently denied any wrongdoing, maintaining that her actions were peaceful, prayerful, and motivated by compassion, including offering conversation to women considering abortion.
Responding to the ruling, Claire Brennan said:
“This is a huge relief, not just for me, but for everyone who believes that compassion should never be criminalized."
"I have always acted peacefully, praying, offering hope, and trying to help women who may feel they have no alternative."
"These censorship zones are unjust. They silence prayer, restrict free speech, and prevent women from hearing that there is another option besides abortion.”
