Judge Blocks Action Against Pro-Life Centers in NY

A federal judge has issued a preliminary injunction against New York Attorney General Letitia James, preventing her from taking legal action against pro-life pregnancy centers promoting abortion pill reversal procedures. The judge, John Sinatra, ruled that the centers' free speech rights under the First Amendment would be violated if James' actions were allowed. James had sued these centers, claiming they engaged in false advertising and deceptive practices by promoting the use of progesterone to reverse the effects of mifepristone, without scientific evidence supporting its safety and efficacy. The ruling allows the National Institute of Family and Life Advocates, Gianna’s House, and other centers to continue discussing and promoting the procedure while the case proceeds. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists has stated that the safety and efficacy of abortion pill reversal are unsupported. These developments highlight the ongoing national debate around abortion rights and the legal battles surrounding them.
