A 23-year-old Christian woman whose attempt to bring ‘gender-abortion’ doctors to justice was derailed by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), is to face court again after being handed a crippling legal bill.
Aisling Hubert has been ordered to pay a total of £36,000 to two doctors who were filmed by a national newspaper offering abortion on the basis of the baby’s gender.
Unable to pay the bill herself, Aisling now faces another court hearing to determine what will happen about the huge costs order.
Total of £47,000
A further £11,000 of costs was awarded against Aisling following an attempt to challenge the CPS’s derailment of her private prosecution.
‘It feels as though I am being punished by the legal establishment for exposing its reluctance to challenge gender-abortion’, Aisling commented. ‘These two doctors were filmed offering gender-abortion. I sought to bring them to justice. It is completely immoral.
‘This isn't just about abortion, it's about our justice system. Private prosecution is an important check and balance on state power. It allows private citizens to fight for justice when the state apparatus has failed or turned a blind eye. But these massive costs will make it impossible for people like me in the future’, she added.
