New York Attorney General Letitia James has filed a lawsuit against Heartbeat International and 11 affiliated crisis pregnancy centers over their promotion of 'abortion pill reversal' methods. The lawsuit, filed in a state court, accuses the defendants of false advertising and deceptive business practices by claiming that women can stop an ongoing abortion process with certain unproven treatments. Heartbeat International President Jor-El Godsey defends the organization, arguing that the lawsuit is an attack on pro-life advocacy, accusing AG James of favoring abortion rights groups and suppressing alternative pregnancy options. The legal action follows an April 22 'Notice of Intention to Sue' issued by James.
Heartbeat and other pro-life groups had sought to block the lawsuit after Ms. James issued an April 22 “Notice of Intention to Sue,” accusing her of seeking to silence her political foes with false charges. https://t.co/KqeUWS78Y5
“With this lawsuit, AG James is protecting Big Abortion in New York while denying women in her state the right to continue their own pregnancies,” he said. https://t.co/KqeUWS78Y5
Heartbeat International President Jor-El Godsey swung back by saying that “AG James is parroting abortion propaganda rather than studying the actual scientific evidence.” https://t.co/KqeUWS78Y5
“Heartbeat International and the other crisis pregnancy center defendants are spreading dangerous misinformation by advertising ‘abortion reversals' without any medical and scientific proof.” https://t.co/KqeUWS78Y5
James said that Heartbeat and its 11 New York-based centers violated state law against deceptive business practices by advertising that women who begin but do not complete the two-pill process can avoid terminating their pregnancies. https://t.co/KqeUWS78Y5
