I've always said that to leftists, particularly with "hatespeech" laws: Remember that the government will change at some point, and this could be used against you. Used to be you weren't allowed to criticize the Church, or say things that displease religious people. The laws you're supporting now could well lead to that being the case again in the future. But they just couldn't fathom a world where they wouldn't shape the narrative. It's the curse of progressives that they think society is always moving toward a utopian endpoint that they already envision.

With this story it appears to be primarily about restrictions on advertising pharmaceuticals, but if it was simply Meta considering abortions immoral, then yeah... Meta has been banning a lot of legal speech simply because it was considered immoral in certain circles. So to all the people outraged over this: You reap what you sow, and hopefully you learn to be careful about what you wish for in the future because it can always go both ways.
