Texas' abortion ban is also a catastrophic and unconstitutional attack on free speech

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

57% : The authors of the bill seem to have recognized how their bill would stand in direct conflict with the First Amendment.
53% : That's likely why they included a line saying the law "may not be construed to impose liability on any speech or conduct protected by the First Amendment of the United States Constitution."
50% : If this law is allowed to stand, states could ban other rights upheld by the Supreme Court -- such as gay marriage or gun ownership rights -- and then delegate enforcement to citizen litigators.
41% : But because the Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade decision guaranteeing the right to abortion still stands, the Texas law deploys a slithery end-around to SCOTUS' legal precedent.
34% : Abortion is one of the most contentious political and legal issues in America.
