One of Texas' most tireless and tiresome culture warriors has filed a bill that would make it illegal to 'provide information on how to obtain an abortion-inducing drug.' Texas TXLege AbortionIsHealthcare AbortionPills abortions freespeech
State Rep. Steve Toth delivers a speech at the Alamo while dressed in his best culture warrior duds.Apparently, in some Texas Republicans' view, it's just not enough to stop people from having abortions — it's also necessary to quash their rights to free speech so they can't evenState Rep. Steve Toth — one of the Lege's most tireless and tiresome culture warriors — has filed a bill that would prevent the sale of abortion medications including mifepristone and misoprostol.
However, beyond that, Toth's bill would require internet service providers such as phone and cable companies to "make every reasonable and technologically feasible effort" to block users' access to online information about how to get abortion pills. Much like Senate Bill 8 — the controversial law that effectively ended abortion in Texas after the first six weeks of pregnancy — Toth's measure would use civil courts for enforcement. In a move the EFF cautions would stifle free speech, his proposal encourages anyone and everyone to file lawsuits against people who speak about abortion medication — even if they're not directly supplying it.
Of course, Toth has repeatedly shown he doesn't give a shit about free speech so long as he's able to file bills that score points with the most extreme fringe of the GOP base.
