Minister To Be Sentenced For Pro-Life Demonstration
- February 19, 2009
OAKLAND, Calif.- A California minister faces up to two years in prison and a $4,000 fine when he’s sentenced today for trying to save the lives of unborn children by demonstrating against abortion outside an Oakland clinic.
When he was arrested last year, the Rev. Walter Hoye II was carrying a sign that read “Jesus Loves You & Your Baby. Let Us Help You.” He was convicted of “unlawful approach” under Oakland’s “Access to Reproductive Health Care Facilities Ordinance.”
Hoye is appealing his conviction and challenging the constitutionality of the law, but says he’s willing to go to jail if that’s “God’s will.”
