Yesterday at Dr. Emily's, the owner came outside and stood by the door just to see what was going on. Father Lewis greeted her and then started praying for her out loud. Apparently she was offended and called the police. When the police got there she said that she wanted to file a complaint because she was harassed.
The police denied her request for a complaint and asked her why she felt it was necessary. She said it was because Father Lewis was talking to her which was not true. He said the only thing I did was greet her and mention her name in my prayer. She said that she didn't need prayer and wanted him to get away from her.
I honestly think she just called the police because not that many people were coming into the clinic. The police then told Father Lewis that we had to legally be standing 15 feet away. Father Lewis then asked the police where he could see this in writing and the officer said that we would need to go to city hall to find that information.
About one hour a later three policeman came and put up barricades around us. They told us that if we moved outside the barricades we would be arrested. It was absolutely crazy to us because this has never happened to us before.
Just because the police fenced us mean does not mean that we were not able to talk to the girls. We were still able to hand out some brochures and share with them. I think blocking us just gives us even more attention and strives us to work harder and give more effort to save more babies live.
