U.S. District Chief Judge Mark Walker ruled that the threats to TV stations over running ads against Florida's abortion ban constitute "unconstitutional coercion" violating the First Amendment rights of speech.
Lauren Brenzel from Yes on 4 Florida celebrated the court's decision, stating it aligns with the belief that the government should not silence discussions surrounding Florida's extreme abortion law.
Gov. Ron DeSantis's deputy press secretary criticized the ruling, arguing the political ads were misleading and could jeopardize the health and lives of pregnant women under the state's protective laws.
