Abstract

The commented case deals with an aggressive campaign against abortion and the day-after-pill. The main issue at stake is whether that kind of speech IS protected by freedom of religion and expression. The Court decided that religious speech can be restricted when it is clearly offensive and the purpose of its exercise is to cause distress on the recipients.
