Federal judge bans Letitia James 'Ministry of Truth' from censoring NY pro-life pregnancy centers

The First Amendment does not allow the United States to adopt "Oceania's Ministry of Truth."

That line from George Orwell's dystopian novel "Nineteen Eighty-Four" opens U.S. District Judge John Sinatra's order Thursday imposing a preliminary injunction on New York Attorney General Letitia James, who is threatening pro-life pregnancy centers for telling women about so-called abortion pill reversal, as their lawsuit proceeds.

Her office may not enforce state consumer fraud laws against the National Institute of Family and Life Advocates (NIFLA), Gianna's House and Options Care Center, which sued in May, for referring to APR, calling it safe and effective or directing people to the APR Hotline and website in their ads, social media and promotional materials.

The injunction is limited to the plaintiffs, represented by the Alliance Defending Freedom.

"Plaintiffs are likely to succeed on the merits of their First Amendment Free Speech claim, and they are suffering irreparable harm each day that their Constitutional freedoms are infringed," he wrote, noting James' state lawsuit against the Thomas More Society's clients and her refusal to "disavow enforcement" of the same kind in Sinatra's case.

The centers' constitutional harms "are sufficiently 'actual and imminent' to constitute an injury in fact," making them "ripe for adjudication" as well, the judge said.

Georgy Soretoe’s Water Buffalo are being cut down to size. They all need their keisters fired and sent to record fast food joint jingles. They all need their affirmative action keisters thrown out in the street now for interfering with our election.
