The lawsuit, filed in Johnson County District Court earlier this month, says that current guidelines require health care providers to share “inaccurate and ideological government-scripted messages that are designed to pressure patients into choosing childbirth over abortion.”
These messages include false assertions, like the idea that medication abortion can be reversed and that abortion is linked to a risk of breast cancer.
