Pro-life pastor prepares for sentencing

An Oakland, California, pastor could face jail time for expressing his pro-life views.Pastor Walter Hoye(picture left) ran into trouble with an abortion clinic while doing an informational picket. Dennis Howard, leader of The Movement for a Better America, believes Hoye is innocent."His approach was simply to carry a sign that said 'Jesus Loves You. Can We Help?' and offering those who wanted it some information about alternatives to abortion," Howard explains. A complaint was filed and Hoye was found guilty in spite of proof to the contrary."There was a video taken of him doing this, and it shows that he was not harassing anybody," Howard points out."In fact, he was being harassed by escorts from the abortion clinic." Pastor Hoye faces up to two years in jail and a $4,000 fine.Howard is calling Christians into action."We feel that pro-life organizations around the country ought to take up this man's cause and pray and fast between now and February 19," he concludes. That is when Hoye is due to be sentenced.
