Why does controlling communication to suppress human rights sound so familiar in a US context? Oh, right. De Mint isn't just from a slave state: he's from the slave state, the first one to split from the US for fear the federal government would end system human abuse in that state. I'm sure he's familiar with the tools anti-abolistionists used.
The DeMint amendment could bar discussion of abortion over the Internet and through videoconferencing, even if a woman's health is at risk and if this kind of communication with her doctor is her best option to receive care.
