Since most abortions are illegal in Oklahoma I could see giving strangers information about getting one might be problematic. I wouldn’t want my employees providing that information while at work. Employers can obviously curtail speech at work. Outside of employment they would obviously be free to discuss whatever they wish.

My first thought…who the hell goes to a public library to ask the librarian about getting an abortion ?

Also…why does the story describe Oklahoma law as a “total abortion ban”. Did Oklahoma change the law recently ? There were a list of limited exceptions .

Still disagree with the law btw

Glad to see this.

Still I hate to see laws like the civil one on abortion. We don't want to encourage a culture of neighbors snooping on one another. Goes for Newsome's new law too.

I thought jumping onto the bandwagon and spreading conspiracy theories and false rumors with bad sources was against your religion. I'm just going by all your criticisms of Trump followers here. Practice what you preach.
