Federal Judge Upholds Free Speech Rights for NY Crisis Pregnancy Centers
Preliminary injunction allows centers to promote controversial abortion pill reversal treatment despite state opposition.
- Judge John Sinatra ruled that New York crisis pregnancy centers can discuss abortion pill reversal under First Amendment protections.
- The injunction prevents Attorney General Letitia James from taking action against these centers while their lawsuit proceeds.
- The ruling supports the centers' claims that promoting the treatment is a matter of free speech, though its safety remains unproven.
- Attorney General James has sued other centers for similar practices, citing concerns over false advertising and consumer fraud.
- The decision highlights ongoing legal and political battles over abortion rights and free speech in the U.S.
