Insanity. WTF is wrong with these people? Or are our freedoms so good that we see it as insane to simply not let folks talk about things.
No guns, and don't dare talk about saving babies!
Now, admittedly, it does speak of disseminating incorrect information, or intimidating information on websites and similar. But we all know how that works out. WHO will determine this, right from the get go. And even if down the road determined to be not guilty, will owners have to pony up $$$ to defend themselves?
I am so glad I don't live in such a place. I wouldn't even visit there and unsure why some want to.

France Debates Bill to Criminalize Online Pro-Life Advocacy
(CNSNews.com) – French lawmakers on Thursday will debate and vote on a government-backed draft law that could criminalize online pro-life advocacy. The legislation would extend the ambit of already-illegal “interference” in abortion to cover digital media.
Any website carrying material that is deemed to be “deliberately misleading, intimidating and/or exerting psychological or moral pressure” aimed at persuading a mother not to abort her child could face criminal charges, with punishments of two years in prison and a fine of 30,000 euros ($31,800).
A Catholic archbishop has called the move “a very serious attack on the principles of democracy.”
Supporters, including Minister for Families Laurence Rossignol, say the goal is to prevent the dissemination of inaccurate or biased information, but critics view the wording as vague and dangerous.
“One could hardly be vaguer in the description,” argues Gregor Puppinck, director of the European Centre for Law and Justice (ECLJ) – an international affiliate of the Virginia Beach-based American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) – which opposes the initiative.
“It is difficult to understand how the mere consulting of a website information page could obstruct the practice of an abortion or the information about it,” he said in an article Wednesday. “This vague crime is opened to the most extensive interpretations.”
Puppinck says that that clearly violates a French Constitutional Council ruling that legislation must define crimes “in terms precise and clear enough to exclude arbitrary decisions.”
