A federal appeals court let three pro-life groups keep talking about abortion pill reversal treatments after blocking New York Attorney General Letitia James from going after them. The Second Circuit said the organizations can tell women about progesterone protocols meant to stop medication abortions because their religious messaging counts as protected speech under the First Amendment. The groups had yanked their materials after James went after Heartbeat International and other affiliated outfits over similar claims.
Medical experts are split on whether this reversal thing even works, with the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists saying the science is garbage while advocacy networks claim success rates hit around 64 to 68 percent. The court noted this preliminary ruling does not settle whether the state can regulate these statements long term, and more legal fighting is coming down the pipeline.
