Christian pro-life activists Isabel Vaughn-Spruce has her bail conditions loosened last week

was part of Vaughn-Spruce's bail conditions in the wake of her arrest earlier this year.

"While I am grateful my bail conditions have been lifted, and the police have acknowledged that peaceful presence is not in and of itself a crime, I am concerned that the police were able to restrict my right to peacefully and silently pray for three months and so soon after I was acquitted for the same conduct," Vaughan-Spruce said in a statement.

Isabel Vaughan-Spruce was arrested earlier this year for praying silently outside an abortion clinic in Birmingham, England. "I received no update from the authorities as to the progress of the investigation, and I still don't know how my actions could be considered in any way intimidating," she said."To have prosecution hanging over my head for a seemingly indeterminate period for the simple act of praying, thinking toward God, is deeply unsettling and unjust.

"This includes but is not limited to graphic, verbal or written means, prayer or counseling," the order reads.
