AG James sued eleven Crisis Pregnancy Centers claiming false adverting. Those centers offered a drug, bioidentical progesterone, which can in some cases save babies of mothers ho took mifepristone, the abortion pill for women who change their minds aborting their babies. James wanted to silence them from telling women there was a way to save their baby. Because like al Democrats she believes that the only good baby is a dead baby. What happened to “My body/ my choice.”
U.S. District Judge John Sinatra granted a preliminary injunction to the National Institute of Family and Life Advocates, Gianna’s House, and the Options Care Center. If I had to guess, I would say that James will seek retribution against these facilities.
The judge ruled:
“The First Amendment protects Plaintiffs’ right to speak freely about [abortion pill reversal] protocol and, more specifically, to say that it is safe and effective for a pregnant woman to use in consultation with her doctor. Indeed, the ‘very purpose of the First Amendment is to foreclose public authority from assuming a guardianship of the public mind through regulating the press, speech, and religion.’”
ADF lawyer Caleb Dalton surmised:
“Women in New York have literally saved their babies from an in-progress chemical drug abortion because they had access to information through their local pregnancy centers about using safe and effective progesterone for abortion pill reversal. But the attorney general tried to deny women the opportunity to even hear about this life-saving option.”

Women should have the option to reconsider an abortion, and the pro-life pregnancy centers we represent in this case truthfully inform them about that choice. The court was right to affirm the pregnancy centers’ freedom to tell interested women about this life-saving treatment option.”
Pregnancy centers around the country have come under fire from Democratic lawmakers and pro-abortion activists after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. According to CatholicVote, there have been at least 93 attacks on pregnancy centers and pro-life groups since a copy of the decision to overturn Roe leaked.
Aid for Women, one such center based in Chicago, was vandalized after the closing of the Democratic National Convention on Thursday, according to photos posted by Mary FioRito. The photos showed red painted plastered on the door and spray paint saying “Fake Clinic” and “the dead babies are in Gaza.”
For the past 25 years, it’s been my privilege to be a volunteer and board member at Aid for Women, a nonprofit that runs maternity homes and pregnancy services throughout Illinois.

The vandalism was quickly condemned by pro-life leaders.
“We are disheartened to see that just after a week of dark and shameless celebration of the tragedy of abortion at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, including offering free abortions via bus, a pregnancy care center nearby was violently attacked,” said March for Life President Jeanne Mancini.
