On the heels of a GOP Congress restoring $800 million in federal taxpayer funding for the abortion industry, one of the nation’s most significant legal battles over the future of the pro-life movement is unfolding in California and New York. Attorneys General in those states launched a new tactic to cripple pro-life pregnancy centers, fining them out of existence for crimes that do not exist in statute. The privately funded pro-life groups are accused, not by women, but by activist Blue State AGs, of fraud for speaking the truth to women that chemical abortion can be reversed if treated early with emergency progesterone therapy.
What might happen if state attorneys general are permitted to redefine protected speech as consumer fraud whenever they disagree with the message?
