NIFLA v Becerra. "Late yesterday afternoon, I filed an amicus brief in one of the most dangerous free-speech cases in a generation. For the second time this term, the Supreme Court is considering whether the government can compel Americans to express or support ideas they find repugnant. The first case, Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission, was the talk of the nation. This case, National Institute of Family and Life Advocates (NIFLA) v. Becerra, has almost entirely escaped public attention. That’s a mistake. If anything, the violation of the First Amendment in the NIFLA case is more egregious, and the implications potentially more far-reaching...... The NIFLA case, however, is unquestionably about compelled speech. The state of California has enacted a law, the so-called FACT Act, that requires pro-life crisis-pregnancy centers to prominently place a notice informing clients that California offers low-cost and even free abortions to women who qualify and providing them a phone number that grants quick access to abortion clinics. In other words, California is requiring pro-life professionals — people who’ve dedicated their lives to protecting the unborn by offering pregnant mothers alternatives to abortion — to advertise state-sponsored abortions. California is making this demand even though it has ample opportunity to advertise state services without forcing pro-life citizens to do so. The state can rent billboard space on the very streets where crisis-pregnancy centers are located. It can hand out leaflets on the sidewalk. It can advertise on television and the radio. It can advertise on the Internet or social media. But rather than using its own voice, it is co-opting the voices of its pro-life citizens, forcing them to join its pro-abortion crusade. And the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals held that the FACT Act is constitutional. To validate California’s oppressive act, its decision carved out a dangerous First Amendment exception for what it deemed “professional speech” — “speech that occurs between professionals and their clients in the context of their professional relationship” — and ruled that the state had much greater leeway in regulating, for example, doctor/patient communication." http://www.nationalreview.com/artic...reme-court-case-religious-freedom-free-speech Chipping away.
Its how the left works, and what I try to explain to people all the time, but they just don't believe it.
Keep voting for democrats and this is what you get. Wonder why I am so adament about being conservative and voting for conservatives. The left is dangerous and are really the ones that are more like Nazi's. They are the ones who will try to restrict your freedoms. This FACT act is a good example of their true agenda.
Let’s see, denying women birth control because of religious beliefs, not serving gays because of their stupid ideology, I’m pretty sure a priest jizzing all over a school girl’s face and telling them it’s communion isn’t really a good thing. Blowing up an abortion clinic, murdering an abortion doctor etc etc. most of the dumb shit that has happened and will happen on this planet is because of stupid ass people and their stupid ass religion.
