Free speech protection doesn't extend to condomless porn, court rules

Fox News reports:

Freedom of speech doesn't convey the right to shout "Fire!" in a movie theater, and, apparently, it doesn't give porn actors the right to skip condoms, either.

After Los Angeles County voters passed a law in 2012 requiring condoms to be worn in X-rated films, Vivid Entertainment and other porn industry players sued to halt enforcement by claiming it violated their rights under the First Amendment. A federal court ruled against them last year and, on Monday, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the lower court's decision. The judges determined that preventing outbreaks of HIV and other diseases outweighed the porn industry's interest in making a statement by depicting unprotected sex.

The liberals that run Blue America feel a need to get into the bedroom.
