After LifeNews.com blogger Ryan Bomberger published his article at LifeNews, the NAACP threatened to sue LifeNews.com and Bomberger over the column that took the civil rights organization to task over its abortion position. The NAACP is upset about a column Bomberger wrote at LifeNews titled, “NAACP: National Association for the Abortion of Colored People” and a legal battle between it and Bomberger ensued.
Last year, a judge issued a ruling in the NAACP lawsuit against Bomberger. The judge indicated that Bomberger had no First Amendment right to lampoon the NAACP by calling it the “National Association for the Abortion of Colored People” in an effort to mock its pro-abortion position and opposition to pro-life legislation.
Today, the federal 4th Circuit Court of Appeals has overturned that decision and ruled in favor of full free speech rights for Bomberger, his group the Radiance Foundation, and LifeNews.com. Judge Harvey Wilkinson wrote the opinion on behalf of the three-judge panel that unanimously ruled against the NAACP.
The ruling upheld Bomberger’s and LifeNews’ “expressive right to comment on social issues under the First Amendment.”

That sounds like a pretty straightforward issue to rule on.
It’s nip and tuck for the Bill Of Rights these days.
Geeminy, a judge, with a brain, looks at a case of the obvious and actually gets “free speech”.
Truth rocks.
Blacks in too many cases don’t get it, on any level. This Bomberger guy does. So does the judge.
Thanks for posting. LifeNews is very fortunate, in this silencing truth atmosphere.
This escaped slave from the Democrat Plantation must be silenced, for the good of the Democratic Party.
Just imagine what would happen if the Plantation Overseers like the NAACP lost control of the narrative in the black community!
They might begin thinking forthemselves. Utter chaos would ensue!
this simply cannot be allowed.
/s?
Well, at least one person is waking up.
Wouldn’t he still vote for Obama?
Sadly, yes.
There are some issues where the ACLU actually does the right thing.
The NAACP is borrowing a concept from Islam - thou shalt not be allowed to criticize or mock us, for fear of the vicious reprisal.
Apparently, the problem here is the 1st Amendment. The NAACP should be suing to get that pesky 1st Amendment overturned. Where are the democrats when the NAACP needs them? Where’s Obama? Where’s Hillary?
That line is perfect. Great line. Hope it reaches more of them. Too many babies are slaughtered.
“The National Association for the Abortion of Colored People” is a pretty apt description of what the organization is.
