A Damaged Arrow pastor was arrested throughout a protest Thursday outside the house of an abortion clinic in Tulsa.

Pastor Greg McEntire of the Damaged Arrow Baptist Temple said he will come to the clinic each and every week to sing, but this is the first time he is been arrested for accomplishing so.

McEntire bonded out of jail Thursday afternoon and he’s going through misdemeanor expenses for disturbing the peace. McEntire said the arrest commenced with a sounds grievance about his group singing exterior the Tulsa women’s clinic.

“Our reason in remaining there, and our initially-amendment ideal, is to communicate so that men and women can hear us. At the exact time, we are not striving to be so loud that we’re obnoxious,” he mentioned.

Thursday, Susan Braselton stood in her normal place, across the parking good deal from the singers.

“They attempt to disgrace, intimidate, and harass ladies,” Braselton mentioned.

She is effective as an escort for the women assisting them get from their motor vehicle to the clinic, but when she acquired inside of,she could still listen to them.

“There is a sound ordinance, you happen to be not intended to be able to hear issues in the clinic,” she mentioned.

They termed the law enforcement who wrote McEntire a citation.

“They say if they can hear it, then it can be also loud. He explained which is what the regulation says. I said that seems instead ambiguous to me,” McEntire explained.
