U.S. District Judge Mark Walker ruled to extend a temporary restraining order against Florida's health department, allowing abortion rights ads to air without state interference.
The controversial ad features Caroline Williams claiming that Florida's stringent abortion laws would have jeopardized her life during her cancer treatment, highlighting real personal impacts.
State officials, after issuing a cease-and-desist letter to broadcasters, were criticized by the judge for interfering with free speech rights related to a ballot measure.
The extension of the restraining order gives Judge Walker more time to consider the abortion rights campaign's request for a preliminary injunction against state actions.
