John,
In the United States, the right to free speech and access to information is supposed to be protected, yet several Republican-led states are waging a war against these very principles by working to pass laws that censor and block websites providing critical abortion information.
This egregious legislative assault not only undermines freedom of speech, it jeopardizes the lives of countless women seeking safe reproductive healthcare.
By requiring internet service providers to block websites that offer abortion information, these laws effectively create a digital blackout, denying access to essential healthcare resources.
This is more than an issue of suppressing free speech and access to information; for some women, it could cost them their lives. Sign the petition: STOP internet censorship of abortion websites now!
The Women and Child Safety Act of Texas, as well as similar acts in other states are a blatant violation of autonomy and an attack on the fundamental principles of equality and dignity.
Without access to accurate information, people may resort to dangerous and life-threatening alternatives, such as self-induced abortions or seeking the services of unqualified providers.
This is not just a matter of theoretical consequences; the lives of real people hang in the balance.
We must draw a line in the sand here and now to stand up against the censorship of abortion websites and the erosion of our fundamental rights. Please send your message by adding your name now.
Together, we can ensure that the principles of free speech, access to information, and human dignity prevail.
