All fun and games till religions get in battles and shut down websites talking about gods and beliefs they don't like.

Indeed.

Does this mean Texas can shutdown other websites in other states that provide abortion support? I’m sure there are those who would argue such to be harmful to children…(not to mention the fetus)

Yes. With what they just did.

Yes, it means exactly that.

They're already actively trying to prosecute people who mail medication across state lines.

All speech does not deserve the same protection, certainly not unlimited protection, says SCOTUS.

Right, that's why speech by white Christians males should be protected, and not any of those Muslims or gay people.

Now, I say this mockingly, my neighbors (yes I live in Texas) say such things with a steadfast belief. Which is really weird to me because they keep electing adulterers and rapists.

I don't see the disconnect you do - they are voting for white Christian men to protect white Christian men. The rape and adultery was hurting women (or gay guys).

>religions get in battles and shut down websites talking about gods and beliefs they don't like.

Leftists and trans activists attempting to shut down Kiwifarms comes to mind.
