Moira Donegan in The Guardian, October 3, 2022, writes that since the reversal of Roe v. Wade, in red states “…women’s options, speech and academic freedoms are now being dramatically constrained by the misogynist laws….” She cites the instance of the University of Idaho where the administration sent a letter to professors that they could no longer promote or counsel in favor of abortion or tell students to get an abortion.
Professors at Idaho state universities could face criminal charges for violating a law passed in 2021 forbidding staff from discussing key issues concerning abortion. They are even not to tell students where to obtain the-morning-after pill except in cases of rape. (Idaho State Journal, September 28, 2022, by Rebecca Boone of The Associated Press)
