(Thomas More Society<\/a>) Culture of Life Family Services (COLFS), a nonprofit charity operating a licensed community health clinic, is suing California Attorney General Rob Bonta in federal court for his attempts to shut down Abortion Pill Reversal (APR) services. On July 30, 2024, Thomas More Society attorneys filed a lawsuit in United States District Court in San Diego, California, against Bonta\u2019s unconstitutional attacks on pregnancy help organizations\u2019 speech about APR.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

In September 2023, despite the proven success of APR, Bonta filed a lawsuit against Heartbeat International to stop APR services<\/a>. Heartbeat filed its response to the Complaint with the California Superior Court in February 2024 and is preparing for a comprehensive legal counterattack against Bonta\u2019s suit. Now, to prevent a lawsuit against it, Culture of Life Family Services seeks declaratory and injunctive relief establishing that providing APR services is constitutionally protected.<\/p>\n

\u201cAttorney General Rob Bonta refuses to recognize a woman\u2019s right to reverse an abortion in progress when she has changed her mind about the procedure,\u201d said Peter Breen, Thomas More Society Executive Vice President & Head of Litigation. \u201cAbortion Pill Reversal gives these women a second chance to choose life, a choice that Bonta and the abortion industry would strip from her. In his quest to silence pregnancy help ministries, Bonta is violating Culture of Life Family Services\u2019 right to speak and aid women in exercising their reproductive privacy rights.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWith all of the crime and corruption in California, it is tragic and beyond comprehension that AG Bonta \u2013 our state\u2019s top law enforcement officer, with a $1.3B budget \u2013 is using his vast resources to target pregnancy centers and strip women of their right to procreative choice, and their right to continue with a pregnancy through the safe and effective Abortion Pill Reversal process, said Paul M. Jonna, partner with LiMandri & Jonna LLP and Special Counsel to the Thomas More Society. \u201cBonta\u2019s actions are politically motivated and blatantly unconstitutional. We are proud to represent COLFS in its fight to protect its rights and the rights of its patients.\u201d<\/p>\n
