Florida judge extends restraining order against Surgeon General, preventing interference with abortion rights ads.
A federal judge in Florida has extended a temporary restraining order preventing State Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo from intimidating TV stations that air ads supporting an abortion rights measure on the November 5 ballot. The order follows a lawsuit filed by Floridians Defending Freedom after Ladapo claimed the ads were false and warned of potential criminal prosecution. If passed, the measure would protect abortion rights until fetal viability, overriding current state law.
