The following is a statement from the WGA on ABC’s decision to pull ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’

WGA Statement on ABC's Decision to Pull ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’
The right to speak our minds and to disagree with each other - to disturb, even - is at the very heart of what it means to be a free people. It is not to be denied. Not by violence, not by the abuse of governmental power, nor by acts of corporate cowardice.
As a Guild, we stand united in opposition to anyone who uses their power and influence to silence the voices of writers, or anyone who speaks in dissent. If free speech applied only to ideas we like, we needn't have bothered to write it into the Constitution. What we have signed on to - painful as it may be at times - is the freeing agreement to disagree.
Shame on those in government who forget this founding truth. As for our employers, our words have made you rich.
Silencing us impoverishes the whole world.
The WGA stands with Jimmy Kimmel and his writers.

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled abortion providers could challenge the state’s ban on Medicaid coverage for abortion. This overruled a decades-long precedent that stopped providers from such a challenge (and if successful, greater access to abortion) www.pacourts.us/Storage/medi...

NEW: Iowa legislature passed a six-week abortion ban after 14 hours of debate during a special session expressly called to ban abortion. Gov. Kim Reynolds (R) will sign ASAP but orgs are already planning lawsuit

Iowa Passes Near-Total Abortion Ban After 14-Hour Debate

“This state is ridiculous,” one resident testified before lawmakers. “You guys are lying to yourselves and you’re offending everyone, including God."

Iowa State Sen. Amy Sinclair insists the six-week ban on abortion is not a ban, even though abortion can't happen after "if a fetal heartbeat was detected, an abortion is prohibited." Even if you don't use the word "ban" in the text, it still bans abortion.

Fuuuuuuuuuck. This sucks. FOSTA deemed constitutional. www.cadc.uscourts.gov/internet/opin…

We affirm. Neither Section 2421A of FOSTA nor
FOSTA’s amendments to the Trafficking Act are overbroad or
unconstitutionally vague. FOSTA’s clarification that Section
230 withholds immunity for violations of federal sex
trafficking laws comports with the First Amendment. And the
district court correctly dismissed the challenge to Section
230(e)(5)’s retroactive application.
