As we finish our Commercial Speech discussion a complex fact pattern drives your analysis.

That is to allow you to take the time and review your understanding of both the writing process and the substantive law before you enter a reply. If you are entering a reply immediately after writing your post it is unlikely you are benefiting from this process. Please be sure to take a look at files available to you in Canvas regarding Commercial Speech and Constitutional Law IRAC formation.
Case Facts:
The State of Zena’s recently passed legislation banning outdoor advertising for “day after birth control contraceptive” during the months of May – September. This legislation was based several studies which led the State of Zena to conclude that the attempted use day after birth control contraceptives was leading to an increase in teenage pregnancies, which negatively impacted the State’s population and budget.
State Medicaid expenses for teenage pregnancies were rising. From 201- 2015 pregnancies in the 15 – 20-year-old population, resulting in births January -April had risen 25%. Costs of Medicaid prenatal care had increased from 2010 – 2015 as had the Medicaid expenditures for infant care. Ultimately, costs of public assistance expenditures had increased during this time.
During this same time studies showed negative growth in employment in the 15 – 20 age group, declining 25% in the past ten years. Female job seekers of the 20 – 30-year-old population had declined 10 % and the number of part-time summer jobs had shrunk from 2010- 2015.
Another study showed the use of day after birth control contraceptives has increased in our teenage population; however, their use has been improper – often accessing the contraceptive after its effective timing.
An independent study had been tracking high school, GED, Junior college and State college enrollment and graduation figures. Entrance and graduation rates for you females had declined across all education categories.

Bernabe Dilantin:
Analysis: During the months of May-September, the state of Zena has banned outdoor advertising for “day after birth control contraceptive” due to a new legislation that has passed. Studies had led the state to believe that these day after birth control contraceptives led to an increase in teenage pregnancies, which negatively impacted the state’s population and budget. State Medicaid expenses for teenage pregnancies were rising and during this same time studies showed negative growth in employment. In a preexisting case, BAD FROG BREWERY, INC., Plaintiff-Appellant, v. NEW YORK STATE LIQUOR AUTHORITY, the plaintiff argued that, “Bad Frog does not dispute that the frog depicted in the label artwork is making the gesture generally known as ‘giving the finger’ and that the gesture is widely regarded as an offensive insult, conveying a message that the company has characterized as ‘traditionally. negative and nasty”” (1). The state believed that the Bad Frog beer’s artwork gestures that the frog is “giving the finger.” The plaintiff believes, “NYSLA gave inadequate consideration to alternatives to this blanket suppression of commercial speech” (8).
Issue: Did the State of Zena violate the first and 14th amendment when they banned outdoor advertising for “day after birth control contraceptive”?
Conclusion: The first amendment guarantees freedoms concerning religion, expression, assembly, and the right to petition and the Amendment 14, Section 1 (1968) extends the Due Process and Equal Protection clauses of the U.S. Constitution to state action. Banning outdoor advertising for “day after birth control contraceptive” goes against the first and fourteenth amendment. If the Federal law prohibits the state to go against Commercial Speech because it falls under the U.S. Constitution then the state of Zena did go against it
