Federal Judge Grants Temporary Injunction to NY Crisis Pregnancy Centers Against Letitia James

Aug 24, 2024, 01:04 PM

A federal judge has ruled in favor of two New York crisis pregnancy centers and the National Institute of Family and Life Advocates, granting a temporary injunction against New York Attorney General Letitia James. The lawsuit, filed in May, challenges James' civil enforcement action against Heartbeat International and 11 faith-based pregnancy centers, which she accused of spreading false and misleading advertising. The centers argue that their promotion of abortion pill reversal, using progesterone, is a legitimate medical practice. U.S. District Judge John Sinatra's decision supports the centers' First Amendment rights to discuss the safety of abortion pill reversal with pregnant women.
