Can you imagine someone being convicted and fined for quoting a Bible verse outside a hospital? You don’t have to — this literally happened in Northern Ireland last week, and it’ll happen in the United States, too, if we don’t push back on state-sanctioned secularism.

Retired pastor Clive Johnston was convicted of breaching a “safe access zone” for preaching John 3:16 outside a hospital where babies are killed via abortion. The law prohibits “influencing,” “preventing or impeding access,” or “causing harassment, alarm or distress” within 100 meters of abortion-providing facilities.
