Christians convicted in Waco

Freedom of Speech
Nearly 20 Christians who protested in front of the Planned Parenthood of Central Texas were found guilty of violating a trumped-up city ordinance. The Christians were cited in March for refusing to disperse in front of the abortion clinic, across the street from a school. A month earlier, the Waco City Council adopted an ordinance prohibiting street activity in front of the abortuary during school zone hours. Pastor John Collier told the Waco City Council, "Jesus said, 'Go into all the world,' and that includes the sidewalks in front of Planned Parenthood, Waco's high schools, the homosexual churches, and all the other places that have declared the Law of God unwelcome."
