Yelp sues Texas to defend its labeling of crisis pregnancy centers | CNN Business::Yelp is suing Texas to ensure it can continue to tell users that crisis pregnancy centers listed on its site do not provide abortions or abortion referrals, opening a new front in the fight between states and the tech industry over abortion restrictions.
They’re being sued for… listing accurate details about a location? Should they swap it for inaccurate details?
The “label” in question, from the article:
Paxton is mad that their preachy religious bullshit centers masquerading as abortion clinics are being called out for what they are.
But more importantly, this isn’t about winning. It’s about election-time performance art. Paxton wants to show voters he’s still totally against abortion and please re-elect him.
He also needs to pay back the senators that just blindly kept him in office. Those votes weren’t free.
Yes. Their advertisement is aimed at women with unplanned pregnancies. Some of the less scrupulous ones outright lie about what services they provide, though I think laws have been made to address that. Basically they try to convince them not to abort. In the worst cases, they jerk them around by scheduling various appointments “before they can get an abortion” until they are too far along to legally receive one.
Putting plain labeling on them ruins the whole carefully crafted ruse.
