Court Upholds Pro-Life Centers’ Free Speech Rights
Liberty Check
Pro-life pregnancy centers in New York have won a constitutional victory allowing them to discuss abortion pill reversal (APR) protocols. The U.S. Second Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously ruled that these centers’ right to free speech is protected under the First Amendment.
The court maintained an injunction stopping New York Attorney General Letitia James from using business fraud statutes to silence pro-life messages. This protects the ability of these centers, which help women seeking alternatives to abortion, to speak freely about life-saving options.
- The Second Circuit panel found the centers are likely to succeed on their First Amendment claims.
- Attorney General James targeted 51 pro-life centers, seeking to block their speech regarding abortion pill reversal.
- Liberty Counsel argued that suppressing these medical messages constitutes viewpoint discrimination and restricts constitutional freedoms.
This decision marks a crucial step in defending free speech from government overreach. Stay alert and demand that officials respect core liberties enshrined in the Constitution.
Our freedoms depend on staying vigilant.
