Indeed, much like the gay mafia stifled free speech of those who dare oppose their agenda. Like when Brendan Eich was hounded from the presidency of Mozilla for supporting traditional marriage.

The abortion lobby is delighted with Twitter's censorship of Marsha Blackburn |Washington Examiner - 10/10/17
According to the abortion lobby, the right to choose and the right to free speech are mutually exclusive. The National Abortion and Reproductive Rights League made that clear Tuesday when they cheered Twitter's censorship of Rep. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn.

Instead of questioning the veracity of Blackburn's statement, Twitter attacked its "inflammatory" sentiment, pulling the video from its website and, in the process, siding with the abortion lobby. This makes absolutely no sense.

Worse than the censor, Twitter has embraced the role of a nanny. They're not bothering to evaluate facts. They're judging posts based on feelings. And all of this is just fine with the abortion lobby, so long as democracy's digital forum continues to elevate the right to abort babies over the right to free speech.


Twitter made a serious error - how many people would have even known about this video without them censoring it? It certainly would have never been headline news.
The Twitter Censorship of Martha Blackburn has only managed to "super charge" her campaign.

By censoring Marsha Blackburn, Twitter supercharged her Senate campaign |Washington Examiner 10/10/17

It took less than 24 hours for Twitter to reverse their decision to Censor Congresswoman Martha Blackburn.

Twitter reverses decision, will allow Blackburn to promote Senate ad |Politico 10/10/17

Now that's hysterical, evidently facts are inconvenient to Blackburn since her claim is a complete lie, or do you agree with alternative facts. Doesn't matter her constituents will love this and she got great publicity for her lie. It is inflammatory and it is lie, maybe twitter should have allowed it since they are just social media as is the case with CD. Where do you draw the line.


The publicity should serve her well in the home of Noah's Ark.

It is only inflammatory if one zealously denies the sanctity of life, regardless of where that life falls in the full spectrum of life.

It's a private business. They can censor who or what they choose just like CD. It's their product and their right.

It's inflammatory regardless of your views, particularly because her statement is a lie as was the statement by Carly Fiorina during the campaign. Still Twitter should have allowed her statement.


Strange that we are asking Facebook to screen the Russians for fake stories yet here you have a politician doing the same to steer an election although both have slightly different motives.

You do not believe in the sanctity of life? Bet you use the word hate a lot, too.

You may be asking facebook to do something. I'm not.

Aside from the censorship issue do you believe her statement to be accurate, would you vote for someone who makes such a ridiculous statement. The Russians did the same, their intention was to discredit and divide, is Blackburn any different.

If the sanctity of human life is so precious that she ends war and capitol punishment, then disarms the police, and imprisons anybody who takes another's life, I'll move to Tennessee and vote for her.
