Censorship

I just read the two articles on the censorship of the word "abortion" in a government-funded database and its subsequent removal and could not agree more with the removal of the censorship. Not like this should matter, but I'll say right now that I am personally anti-abortion - I myself would never get an abortion but either way though, I have to say that I am adamantly against the censorship of the keyword "abortion." After all, what can possibly be achieved by denying people who are thinking about a possible abortion, access to information on said abortion? As Melissa Just says in the first article and I quote, "Even if you were trying to make an argument to someone that abortion is a bad idea for them -- whether it's a health risk, or you're concerned about their mental well being, you wouldn't be able to find articles about your claim," she notes. "It's shutting off both the pro and the con access." I think everybody has the right to get access to objective, scientific information about abortion and let them come to their decisions - that is their right. Furthermore, if we had let this one slide, what next? Censorship of any terms that may possibly contradict the Bush Administration's agenda? All for the sake of federal funding? It is a slippery slope my friends and before you know it, we'll be no better than, say, Nroth Korea.
