Guest guest Posted June 1, 2000 Report Share Posted June 1, 2000 I don't think the practice of medicine is protected under the first ammendment as a form of expression or speech. Defending the right to say any words is very different than defending the right to take any actions. The latter position is radical libertarianism and not at all what Jefferson was saying here. He merely defended thought and expression. The government of all states has long recognized a legtimitate compelling interest to regulate medical practice. , jplane1@a... wrote: In a message dated 6/1/00 10:52:49 AM Eastern Daylight Time, yulong@m... writes: > " Our most fundamental liberties depend upon the freedom of thought and the freedom of expression; and you cannot limit either one in any way without destroying both.
