Group behind Amendment 4 sues DeSantis administration over threats to TV stations

The lawsuit centers on cease-and-desist letters the Florida Department of Health sent Oct. 3 to at least two Florida TV stations, telling the stations to take down an ad in favor of the amendment and threatening prosecution if the stations did not.

The ad features a woman, Caroline, who was diagnosed with brain cancer two years ago while pregnant with her second child. In the advertisement, the woman said that if she did not get an abortion, she would not be able to receive cancer treatment and could have died and been unable to be there for her daughter.
