Alliance Defending Freedom has filed<\/a> a lawsuit against New York Attorney General Letitia James on behalf of two nonprofit pro-life pregnancy centers and one nonprofit network of affiliated centers in response to her decision to target pro-life pregnancy resource centers for their promotion and use of “abortion pill reversal” (APR). The lawsuit<\/a> asks for James to be prohibited from applying New York business law to target the pro-life groups.<\/p>\n

The National Institute of Family and Life Advocates (NIFLA), Gianna’s House, and Options Care Center are suing James, arguing that she is violating the First Amendment through her lawsuit against 11 pro-life pregnancy centers<\/a>. James is accusing the pro-life organizations of spreading \u201cfalse and misleading\u201d information regarding APR. In response, the pregnancy centers filed<\/a> a lawsuit of their own.<\/p>\n

\u201cNew York is intentionally denying women the freedom to continue their pregnancies by censoring those who promote it. They are forcing women to follow through with an abortion \u2014 even if they don\u2019t want to,\u201d said Thomas Glessner, president and founder of NIFLA. \u201cHow does it even remotely make sense to trust women with their medical decisions if you are actively trying to hide scientifically-based information from them? It makes no sense, nor is it legal.\u201d<\/p>\n
