<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One thing the Democrats never learn is respecting the right of free speech for all. With maximizing the number of abortions as one of their top missions, blue states make censorship laws targeting the pro-life movement. The latest in this series of attacks on the free speech rights of pro-life groups comes from Delaware, the home state of Joe Biden.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On Sunday (February 16), <em>Just the News</em> reported that the pro-life non-profit A Door of Hope filed a First Amendment lawsuit against Delaware Attorney General Kathy Jennings. The lawsuit challenges a Delaware state law that selectively censors pro-life pregnancy centers. The law SB 300, signed in September last year and taking effect next month (March 2025), selectively applies “compelled speech requirements” only to pro-life pregnancy care centers. Thus the law in effect would force these centers to lie and it also bans their ads.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The story added that the DE law is very similar to a California law that was blocked by the Supreme Court following a legal challenge by the National Institute of Family and Life Advocates (NIFLA). Another such law passed in the blue state of Illinois was called “stupid and very likely unconstitutional” by a conservative judge, ending up in a settlement in December 2023. Vermont and New York have also targeted pro-life organizations through similar laws.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Since the infamous pro-abortion law Roe v. Wade of 1973 was overturned in June 2022 by the conservative Supreme Court, legislation rights on abortion have been returned to the states. On Friday (February 21), <em>LifeSite News</em> reported new research by Johns Hopkins University’s Bloomberg School of Public Health, which found that the overturning of <em>Roe</em> led to the birth of over 22,000 more babies in 14 states that restricted abortion. The story added:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>The number of babies saved doesn’t include those born in 2024 or 2025, nor does it take into account more recent abortion bans in several states, such as Indiana, Florida, Iowa, and South Carolina, meaning that the total figure is likely much higher.</em></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Meanwhile, the Democrats continue to fight abortion laws in red states via lawsuits as well as putting the abortion issue on the ballot in every election cycle. The past week, <em>Florida Politics</em> reported that Democrat lawmakers in the Florida State Senate filed a bill – SB 870 – to replace the state’s current abortion ban of six weeks with up to 6 months into pregnancy. The move, likely to fail in the Republican-led legislature, comes after the Democrats failed to get enough public votes in November 2024 to overturn the state law restricting abortion after six weeks into pregnancy.</p>
