A federal judge has thrown out an Idaho law prohibiting animal rights activists from infiltrating animal industry operations and taping its procedures. From, the Guardian story:

A federal judge has lifted a controversial ban on undercover surveillance inside Idaho’s factory farms, delivering a significant victory to animal rights’ activists.
Judge B Lynn Winmill ruled on Monday that the state’s so-called “ag gag” law violated the constitutional right to free speech.
“An agricultural facility’s operations that affect food and worker safety are not exclusively a private matter,” said the judge. “Food and worker safety are matters of public concern.”

Hmm, If there is a public interest served by allowing undercover animal rights investigators to sneak into facilities–or enter them under false pretenses–to make (highly edited) undercover videos, shouldn’t that same principle more than apply to investigators of Planned Parenthood and other abortionists’ practices?

Dream on. It’s injunctions for you, anti-abortion investigators! You see, we apparently can’t handle the truth!
