Summary
Police arrested and/or cited members of two Christian pro-life organizations for engaging in peaceful prayer and sidewalk counseling outside an abortion facility. The arrests shouldn’t have occurred because David Benham, president of the non-profit charity Cities4Life, and the other pro-life volunteers, members of the Christian ministry Love Life, complied with all applicable emergency orders and proclamations related to the coronavirus crisis.
