, abortion was illegal in Virginia, as was “encouraging” abortion through, for example, advertisements about services in states where the procedure was legal. In 1971, Jeffrey Bigelow, editor of Charlottesville’s, was arrested for running a display ad for an abortion referral service in New York. The case ultimately made it to the Supreme Court, where a majority of justices found that the advertisement qualified as protected speech.
“What the Supreme Court essentially said is: Virginia can’t prevent its residents from going to New York to obtain services that are lawful in New York.… The notion that a state can intentionally keep its residents ignorant about the availability of lawful services in other states was very decisively rejected by the Supreme Court in that decision,” Hauss explains.
Jennifer Pinsof, staff attorney at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, says the private-enforcement mechanism proposed in the bill is a tactic she hasn’t seen before. “There have been other efforts to create liability for posting abortion-related info online, but the ISP-blocking aspect is new and I haven’t seen any other bills that put pressure on ISPs to block access to certain websites,” Pinsof wrote in an email.

Funny how when they want to oppress a group, the Constitution which they claim to love for the right to own a gun, goes right out the fucking window. They do not believe in actual freedom or the Constitution. Like their Bible, they think they can pick and choose.
