Federal Judge Blocks New York AG Letitia James From Censoring Pro-Life Pregnancy Centers

In May, New York Attorney General Letitia James notified pro-life pregnancy centers in the state of potential lawsuits over allegedly misleading statements regarding “abortion pill reversal” (APR) protocols.

On Thursday a U.S. District imposed a preliminary injunction on James limiting her efforts.

On April 22, Attorney General Letitia James’ office sent “Notice of Intention to Sue” letters to at least a dozen pregnancy help organizations that provide or share information about the APR protocol, giving the centers only five days to respond.

A collective of pregnancy help organizations sued the AG to block the threatened prosecutions.

In May, Attorney General Letitia James attempted to move the lawsuit against her from its venue in Rochester to New York County Court in Manhattan, where the environment was expected to be more favorable to her approach. However, New York Supreme Court Justice Sam Valleriani rejected her request.

On May 24, 2024, Justice Sam Valleriani issued an order to consolidate a lawsuit filed by Attorney General Letitia James against pregnancy help organizations in Manhattan with an earlier case initiated by these organizations in Monroe County Court in Rochester.

The latest victory for pro-lifers is limited to plaintiffs represented by the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADL).

As reported by Just the News:

The First Amendment does not allow the United States to adopt “Oceania’s Ministry of Truth.”

That line from George Orwell’s dystopian novel “Nineteen Eighty-Four” opens U.S. District Judge John Sinatra’s order Thursday imposing a preliminary injunction on New York Attorney General Letitia James, who is threatening pro-life pregnancy centers for telling women about so-called abortion pill reversal, as their lawsuit proceeds.

Her office may not enforce state consumer fraud laws against the National Institute of Family and Life Advocates (NIFLA), Gianna’s House and Options Care Center, which sued in May, for referring to APR, calling it safe and effective or directing people to the APR Hotline and website in their ads, social media and promotional materials.

ADF Senior Counsel Caleb Dalton, who argued before the court last week, commented on the ruling, stating, “Women in New York have literally saved their babies from an in-progress chemical drug abortion because they had access to information through their local pregnancy centers about using safe and effective progesterone for abortion pill reversal. But the attorney general tried to deny women the opportunity to even hear about this life-saving option.”

“Many women regret their abortions, and some seek to stop the effects of abortion drugs before taking the second drug in the abortion drug process. Taking supplemental progesterone may give them a chance to save their baby’s life.”

“Women should have the option to reconsider an abortion, and the pro-life pregnancy centers we represent in this case truthfully inform them about that choice. The court was right to affirm the pregnancy centers’ freedom to tell interested women about this life-saving treatment option.”

This Lie-tit-ya James is simply a useful idiot for Satan and the godless Soros globalist demon 😈 hosts. I mean how else can you explain these people’s priority obsessive priority to have women end the life (kill off) their own babies. Some US citizens.. (and probably many non-citizens illegals) will have the opportunity to place a woman, with no children of her own, whose priority is to have other women destroy their offspring, into the country’s top office.
That it exists at all is one level of an evil thing. It is a sky high level above that to prioritize the promotion of such evil by those who are supposed to possess a Moral Authority to lead a nation. They do this without a single mention of, and dispite, the available alternatives. Should satan continue to make playthings of the people of the United States I fear that nation’s end is nigh.

I think the abortion and vasectomy bus outside of the DNC should give anyone at least a clue, as to what the Democrat’s policy is regarding the future of true Americans.
That; and the replacement figures crossing the border plus 30,000 a month being flown in.
