State Attorney General Letitia James is asking a New York court to forbid HBI and the other centers from advertising abortion pill reversal treatments saying they used “false and misleading statements to advertise an unproven treatment.”

“Heartbeat International and the other crisis pregnancy center defendants are spreading dangerous misinformation by advertising ‘abortion reversals’ without any medical and scientific proof,” James said in a press release. “Amid the increase in attacks on reproductive health care nationwide, we must protect pregnant people’s right to make safe, well-informed decisions about their health.” …

She claimed that abortions can’t be reversed and argued that treatments offering to do so could be unsafe.

Thomas More Society, a non-profit legal group, has filed a complaint on behalf of HBI and the other pregnancy crisis centers with the New York Supreme Court to block James’ lawsuit claiming the AG’s “threatened prosecution and intimidation of pregnancy help organizations violates the First and Fourteenth Amendments of the United States Constitution, the New York Constitution and state civil rights law.”

“This is a political witch-hunt against small nonprofits that have selflessly served New York’s pregnant women and their children for over 50 years,” said Peter Breen, the group’s executive vice president. …
