New York City and anti-abortion medical centers have settled a lawsuit over a local law requiring the centers to disclose their practices. The city passed Local Law 17 out of concern that “pregnancy information centers” might be engaging in deceptive advertising.
The law included provisions requiring the centers to tell women who may be pregnant that the state government encourages them to consult with a licensed medical provider, disclose whether they have a licensed provider on site, and say if they provide referrals for abortion, emergency contraception or prenatal care.
