Republicans Want to Make Speech about Abortion a Crime

It is still early to know what abortion opponents will prioritize in 2025, but one goal is coming into view: Criminalizing speech and information about abortion. It may seem that efforts to criminalize speech will be constitutionally dead on arrival. In reality, as a recent decision over an Idaho law by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit shows, the fight to undercut reproductive rights will pose new, complicated threats to the freedom of speech in the years to come.

When are y'all going to get it that the Constitution means nothing to the right? It's always been a cudgel to force their views, never a genuine concern or care.

How many other subjects can these freedom haters outlaw? They are lucky to have the most corrupt Supreme Court in history; any previous court would slap down such laws immediately.
