Nothing to do with free speech and abortion, women can freely talk about it to their hearts content, they just cannot seek counsel from nongovernmental organizations who might work outside US abortion laws.

But as usual because it's Trump who has done it, he's extra bad.

Give me a break.
You deserve a break Mick, let's agree on that.
I don't believe Trump is extra bad here - and I've not said he is.
But he is attacking free speech. Those organisations cannot even discuss abortion with women.
