Connecticut pro-life pregnancy center drops lawsuit against state’s ‘deceptive advertising’ ban
“We’re happy this matter has been resolved,” stated Elizabeth Benton, chief of communications and coverage for the Connecticut Lawyer Basic’s Workplace, by electronic mail.
Each side signed onto a courtroom submitting often known as a “Joint Stipulation of Dismissal” on Jan. 11. The case was dismissed the following day with out prejudice, which means the same lawsuit could possibly be filed sooner or later.
In Might 2021, the state legislature handed a invoice that prohibits “any assertion regarding any pregnancy-related service or the supply of any pregnancy-related service that’s misleading, whether or not by assertion or omission, and {that a} limited-services being pregnant heart is aware of or moderately ought to know to be misleading.”
The invoice calls a pro-life being pregnant useful resource heart a “limited-services being pregnant heart” as a result of it doesn’t present abortions or contraception or referrals for them.
The governor signed it into regulation later that month. It took impact July 1, 2021.
Supporters of the statute say it’s wanted as a result of, they are saying, some being pregnant facilities lure unsuspecting ladies with downside pregnancies into their buildings and make an surprising and unwelcome pitch to them to not get an abortion, which they observe is a time-sensitive choice because it turns into tougher to get an abortion the longer a being pregnant continues.

Smoke from MA fire noticed from Southington to New Haven
GREAT BARRINGTON, MA (WFSB) – Smoke from a large fire in Massachusetts wafted into Connecticut.
The Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection said on Tuesday morning that smoke from the fire in Great Barrington traveled south into the state.
“Many residents from Southington to New Haven and beyond may be noticing a strong smell of smoke and haze [Tuesday] morning,” DEEP said.
DEEP said that Tuesday’s weather conditions caused smoke to spread widely and stay close to the ground. That’s what made it more noticeable.
“Local officials are monitoring the situation,” it said. “If you’re sensitive to smoke, consider staying indoors and keeping windows closed until conditions improve.”
More on the forecast can be read in the technical discussion from Channel 3’s meteorologists here.
