Family Council Joins Amicus Brief in Support of NY Pregnancy Resource Centers
On Monday, Family Council joined an amicus brief in support of pregnancy resource centers in New York.
The brief is part of a lawsuit over the New York attorney general’s decision to censor pro-life pregnancy centers that tell women about abortion pill reversal.
Abortion drugs like the RU-486 regimen kill unborn children by blocking the hormone progesterone, but medical advancements have shown the effects of the pill may be reversed by administering progesterone to the woman.
In March, Catherine Herring testified before members of the Arkansas Legislature about how she took progesterone as part of abortion pill reversal after her husband secretly gave her abortion drugs. Many other women have talked about how abortion pill reversal saved their children as well.
But New York’s attorney general is threatening to punish pregnancy resource centers that promote or provide abortion pill reversal. The A.G.’s decision has prompted a federal lawsuit.
On Monday, Family Council joined 40 other pro-life organizations in an amicus brief filed with the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals.
The amicus brief argues New York’s attorney general is unconstitutionally prohibiting free speech and hurting the pregnancy resource centers who want to tell women about abortion pill reversal.
Pregnancy resource centers offer women real options besides abortion — and there is now good evidence that abortion pill reversal saves lives.
Family Council is pleased to join other pro-life groups in standing up for pregnancy resource centers in New York.
