Judge Orders £25,000 Costs Against Christian Pro-life Campaigner

21-year-old Christian Aisling Hubert has been hit with a £25,000 legal bill in her attempt to bring a private prosecution against doctors who offered 'gender abortions'.

The judge's decision means that Aisling has been punished for seeking justice for women and unborn children.

Assisted by the Christian Legal Centre, Aisling will be appealing the decision. We are committed to supporting her, every step of the way.

Hurdle after hurdle has been raised by the 'establishment' in this case - but Aisling is determined to fight on.

Thanks to the efforts of one Christian Concern supporter, this case received further media coverage over the weekend, with UKIP's first MP responding to concerns raised. Douglas Carswell said:

"The Crown Prosecution Service likes to masquerade as objective, but in fact they make very subjective judgements ... I think we need to make sure that the Crown Prosecution Service is publicly accountable, and this has simply not been happening."

His comments, reported by The Telegraph, help to highlight the case and challenge the abortion culture, so thank you for taking action and contacting your election candidates. Please let us know what they say.

In 2012, two doctors were filmed by a national newspaper offering 'gender-abortion'.

Shockingly, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said that prosecuting them would not be "in the public interest", even though it admitted there was enough evidence for a realistic prospect of conviction!

With our help, Aisling launched her private prosecution in an attempt to see that justice is done and baby girls in the womb are protected.

But Judge Martin Steiger QC refused to order the release and submission of additional video material that was already in the possession of the CPS. The Judge's decision not to require the film to be released is believed to have seriously damaged the case.

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) then derailed Aisling's private prosecution by mounting a hostile takeover and then dropping it.

Following the CPS' withdrawal of the case, Judge Steiger awarded costs against Aisling. She has now been told to pay the legal costs of one of the doctors who offered a gender abortion.

This is clearly wrong. The one seeking justice has been punished, and the one offering 'gender-abortion' has not.

We are going to judicially review the decision of the CPS not to prosecute and appeal the costs order. CR
