ABC suit filed in N. Dakota
On December 16, a young pro-life sidewalk counselor at an abortion clinic in Fargo, ND, Amy Jo Mattson, filed a lawsuit against the Red River Women’s clinic, one of two abortion clinics in Fargo. The basis of the lawsuit, filed in Cass County District Court, is the allegation that the abortion clinic hands potential clients a brochure which violates the state’s truth-in-advertising law.
The brochure reads in pertinent part: "Anti-abortion activists claim that having an abortion increases the risk of developing breast cancer and endangers future childbearing. None of these claims are supported by medical research or established medical organizations" (boldface and underlining original).
