  • I did read the article and the summary conclusion you presented is not the argument, nor what is at stake. Also, wild information ads are already demonstrably “OK too”.

    1. The ad in question is not false, but others around Florida certainly are.

    I was pretty confused by this article because I don’t watch TV and haven’t seen the ad. I have seen billboard ads that say something like “Amendment 4 will allow abortion until birth.” Which is absolutely misinformation. According to the article, the ad that the surgeon general is trying to block has a woman who says that the current abortion ban would block her from life saving care. While the surgeon general is saying this is false, it unfortunately is true in practice even if not in the spirit of what is written. At the end of the day, doctors have to interpret a vague law to determine what care the patient will receive from them. Florida has not published information on maternal mortality rates since overturning roe, but Georgia has proven that the restrictive vague laws result in maternal deaths due to a lack of access to life saving abortions.

    1. it can’t be shut down because it is protected speech.

    When you disagree with other’s political statements, you lawfully respond by making your own case – not silencing the other side. Public discourse.
