Breaking: NCGOP ultrasound law judged unconstitutional

Just in from the NC ACLU:

"We just won our challenge to the ultrasound (“woman’s right to know”) law on the grounds that it violates doctors’ free speech rights to force them to communicate state-mandated propaganda that is not in their best medical judgment."

More to follow.

I just can't believe how much these anti-choicers get away with. We need every victory we can get.
