(LifeSiteNews) – The office of Kentucky Attorney General Russell Coleman is investigating a scheme to promote illegal mail-order abortion pills advertised through six gas stations across the state.
According to a press release from Coleman’s office, it has given gas stations in Christian, Logan, and Simpson counties 20 days to provide information on advertisements they display reading, “Pregnant?
Learn more at Mayday Health.”Last year, the New York-based Mayday Health launched an ad campaign promoting abortion pills at 104 rural gas stations in Kentucky and West Virginia.
Even though abortion is broadly illegal in both states, executive director Liv Reisner said at the time the group does not fear legal repercussions “because we don’t sell, distribute or package abortion pills.
Live Action highlighted Mayday Health’s presentation of the abortion pill as safe, and failure to inform website visitors of its documented risks, which would presumably qualify as deceptive advertising.
