Over 500 literary figures have signed an open letter demanding Penguin Random House shut down a book deal with Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett valued at $2 million over her vote to overturn Roe v. Wade.

In the letter, the progressive signers claimed that while they "care deeply about freedom of speech," they also believe it is important for publishers to uphold their own dedication to the First Amendment with a "duty of care."

"We recognize that harm is done to a democracy not only in the form of censorship, but also in the form of assault on inalienable human rights," the letter states. "As such, we are calling on Penguin Random House to recognize its own history and corporate responsibility commitments by reevaluating its decision to move forward with publishing Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s forthcoming book..."

Unbelievable. Or is it? We are being stifled by the left every single day. But then again, they simultaneously say they believe in free speech, so who am I to question them? :rolleyes:

Also deeply ironic is how they claim Justice Barrett is wrongly foisting her religious beliefs on the country, while they expect us to all worship at the altar of abortion.

Weigh your book sales from this one book against all the book sales you get from the signers of the petition.

The little blurb about freedom of speech is a mockery of it. This political strong-arming, nothing less. If the authors truly believed all that BS they wrong about FOS, this petition wouldn't have ever gotten off the ground.
