Mayday Health v. Jackley

Why This Matters:

Plaintiff, a New York-based nonprofit, alleges that the defendant is unlawfully seeking to censor their publication of truthful information about reproductive health care in violation of the First Amendment. Plaintiff operates an educational website that provides unbiased information on how to access reproductive health care, including medication abortion. The defendant allegedly sought to prevent the plaintiff’s website from publicizing its website to audiences in South Dakota and threatened to prosecute the plaintiff under state law.

Potential Impact:

Censorship of accurate information on reproductive health care will prevent individuals from accessing the critical health information they need to make informed health care decisions.
