Florida threatens news stations over ad in favor of abortion rights measure
Briefly

The Florida health department issued cease-and-desist letters to local news outlets over a pro-abortion rights ad. Caroline's poignant story highlights the dangers of current abortion laws.
"The advertisement is not only false; it is dangerous," Wilson wrote, countering the claim that women cannot obtain life-saving abortions. He emphasized that Florida law does allow abortions in medical emergencies.
Despite Florida's formal allowance for abortion in emergencies, doctors express that the laws' vague wording causes delays in necessary care, heightening patients' risks.
Rosenworcel criticized the cease-and-desist letters, asserting the significance of broadcasters' freedom to discuss critical issues like abortion rights impacting many Floridians.
