New York Attorney General Letitia James has been hit with a federal lawsuit by pro-life pregnancy centers. The lawsuit, filed on Friday, accuses James of censorship, viewpoint discrimination, and religious discrimination for enforcing business-fraud statutes against the promotion of progesterone treatment to reverse the two-step abortion pill process. The pro-life centers claim that James is unlawfully targeting them and violating their First Amendment rights by threatening punishment for offering a service that allows women to attempt to reverse their decision to have an abortion. James had previously sued Heartbeat International and its affiliates on May 6, accusing them of spreading dangerous misinformation by advertising abortion reversals without medical and scientific proof. This legal battle highlights the intensifying fight over abortion pill reversals in New York.
James accused Heartbeat International and its 11 state affiliates in a May 6 lawsuit of “spreading dangerous misinformation by advertising ‘abortion reversals’ without any medical and scientific proof” and declaring that “abortions cannot be reversed.” https://t.co/QTVBwlinvB
