British pro-life activist Isabel Vaughan-Spruce has been given a prestigious award by a Pennsylvania lawmaker.
On social media platform X, Vaughan-Spruce announced on Tuesday that GOP state Senator Doug Mastriano has awarded her the Pennsylvania Freedom Medal for her work defending the unborn.
“This is a huge honour and such a kind and thoughtful gesture. Thank you to all those who recognise, uphold and defend true liberty!” she said.
Mastriano drew attention to Vaughan-Spruce’s plight earlier this month.
“In the United Kingdom, Isabel Vaughan-Spruce was detained by police for standing outside an abortion facility. She wasn’t shouting. She wasn’t blocking anyone. She wasn’t holding signs,” Mastriano said on X. “She was simply praying quietly in her mind.”
