Obviously we should -- particularly for people that advocate for abortion, whose voices need to be suppressed. The cost of their speech is too high.

This is a brilliant comment that shouldn't be down voted, whatever side of the abortion debate you might be on. It exactly highlights the danger of suppressing free speech. While you'd be hard pressed to find reasonable people that deny the Holocaust, there are plenty of emotionally-charged political debates where the numbers are less lopsided. Shortsighted people might want Facebook suppressing that "hate speech" as long as it breaks their way, but what about when it doesn't?

Abortion is same as Holocaust denial ? One is a medical issue and the other one is literally denying facts that is used as propaganda to recruit extremists.
