So if a state decided that conservatives must be censored then that should remain at a state level? Issues end up in the SCOTUS due to be unresolved at lower levels.
You can speculate on the moral issues of abortion under the conditions that most in their entries displayed here. However, that was not the question...scientific evidence was the request. They exist, you recognize them, but you don’t consider them viable until they reach a certain amount of existence. That wasn’t not the question.
Yes, the question - by one who was being persuaded toward proabortion, did ask for scientific evidence for being "pro-choice," and I responded (originally to a comment) by attacking a fundamental proabortion argument which would be helped by scientific evidence, which is that abortion being justified in the case of expectation of actual death to the mother (mainly due to ectopic pregnancies or a dead baby = approx 2%) negates all pro-life arguments, as if that sanctions the vast majority of abortions.

This was the problem with Roe. What Roe said was a person may choose to have an abortion until a fetus becomes viable, based on the right to privacy contained in the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Viability means the ability to live outside the womb, which usually happens between 24 and 28 weeks after conception.
However, the government retained the power to regulate or restrict abortion access depending on the stage of pregnancy. The Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment protects against state action the right to privacy, and a woman’s right to choose to have an abortion falls within that right to privacy. In 1973, the Supreme Court held that the Fifth Amendment’s due process clause includes a right to privacy in Roe v. Wade – and that through this right of privacy, women have the right to choose to have an abortion.
For the following 49 years, states, health care providers, and citizens fought over what limits the government could place on abortion access, particularly during the second and third trimesters. But abortion was fundamentally legal in all 50 states during that period. But that has been changed with the overturning of abortion at the federal level.

The first amendment to the Constitution has not been overturned like Roe. Anyway, yes, a state can censure a group. But all it has to do is go to a higher court to be overturned. But it can be done.

I’m sorry they censured you, but it can be done. If you want call the FCC and the FTC, and argue your case if they misrepresented you. It might have been easier to understand you if I had seen the rest of your quote.
