University of Idaho in the United States sent an email to its faculty members cautioning them against talking about abortion. The university warned the faculty that they could lose their jobs if found in violation of the rule.
The instructions in the email said that faculty members are not allowed to "advertise or offer abortion services and birth control," "provide or perform an abortion," "provide facilities for an abortion or for training to provide or perform an abortion," "dispense drugs classified as emergency contraception by the FDA" (except in "the case of rape," per state law), or "refer for abortion."
