In an unprecedented move, the Florida health department warned television stations that airing a political ad against the state's abortion ban could lead to criminal charges.
The cease-and-desist letters issued by the Florida Department of Health cited "sanitary nuisance" laws, targeting broadcasters for airing an ad that critiques the controversial abortion legislation.
Caroline Williams, who featured in the ad, recounted her traumatic experience with a serious health condition during pregnancy, highlighting the grave implications of the abortion ban on women's health.
Williams expressed her shock at the state's response, stating she did not anticipate that sharing her story about the dangers posed by the current abortion law would provoke such severe backlash.
