National Institute of Family and Life Advocates v. James

Summary

The New York attorney general is using her power to censor pro-life pregnancy centers because they tell women about the option of using progesterone for abortion pill reversal. She is unlawfully targeting pro-life pregnancy centers, threatening punishment for promoting and offering a service that gives women the option of changing their mind and attempting to save their baby’s life.
