Congress could have shielded Roe; now it must act to protect free speech

The Supreme Court's recent decisions have raised alarms about the potential for defamation cases to infringe on free speech, a concern that's been amplified post-Roe as Congress could have enacted protections but has yet to act. This situation underscores the urgent need for legislative action to safeguard free expression amid shifting judicial interpretations. The implications are significant, as unchecked defamation laws could stifle dissent and public discourse, particularly in a time when safeguarding reproductive rights and free speech is more crucial than ever.
