Attorney General Letitia James stated, 'Red Rose Rescue will stop at nothing to interfere with anyone seeking or providing reproductive health care. If Red Rose Rescue and its members want to flagrantly disregard a court order, then they must also be prepared to face the consequences.' This statement underscores her determination to uphold reproductive rights and enforce the court's injunction against the anti-abortion group.
James also emphasized the harm caused by anti-abortion activism, declaring, 'Too many New Yorkers have suffered at the hands of this hateful group - it is time they be held accountable for their blatant disregard of our laws, our courts, and our bodily autonomy.' This reflects her commitment to protecting individuals seeking reproductive health care.
Response from Red Rose Rescue member Bernadette Patel included her disappointment with the AG's stance, labeling it as, 'a shallow attempt to win publicity and score political points.' This highlights the tension between the state and anti-abortion activists regarding the ongoing legal battle and differing perceptions of accountability.
Patel claimed, 'Nor was I made aware of the lawsuit by the AG's office, nor was I served a copy.' This statement questions the legality of the AG’s actions and suggests a potential oversight in the legal process, raising concerns about proper communication and procedure.
