On Monday, Florida First Circuit Court Judge J. Scott Duncan denied Planned Parenthood’s motion to dismiss an ongoing lawsuit filed by Attorney General James Uthmeier late last year.
The lawsuit accuses Planned Parenthood of violating Florida’s Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act by misleading consumers about the safety of mifepristone, the first drug used in a chemical abortion. Specifically, Planned Parenthood’s claim on their website that abortion pills are “safer than many other medicines like penicillin, Tylenol, and Viagra.” That statement is on Planned Parenthood’s website, available for anyone to see at this moment.
Planned Parenthood argues that the statement is legally protected promotional language, not false advertising. However, the Attorney General disagrees and will continue the case.
While this ruling is not the final judgment, it is an exciting development. We continue praying for more transparency surrounding the abortion pill, and ultimately, an entire ban of the life-ending drug.
