The Florida Department of Health is barred from going after local television stations for airing a pro-abortion rights ad.
A federal judge sided with stations after the surgeon general threatened to bring criminal charges against broadcasters.

“To keep it simple for the state of Florida: It’s the First Amendment, stupid,” Chief U.S. District Judge Mark E. Walker of the Northern District of Florida wrote on Thursday as he granted a restraining order against the surgeon general.
