Was a Pro-Life Group's Free Speech Suppressed?

 An Ohio law that was used to stifle the political speech of a pro-life group appears in jeopardy Tuesday after the U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments in the case of Susan B. Anthony List vs. Driehaus.

Mattox was in the court audience.

In 2010, Susan B. Anthony List, a pro-life group, was campaigning against Democratic Ohio Congressman Steve Driehaus because he voted for the Affordable Care Act, or "Obamacare." Driehaus was one of the pro-life Democrats who negotiated a compromise with President Barack Obama over abortion funding in the bill.
