Aria Bendix is the breaking health reporter for NBC News Digital.
A federal judge on Thursday issued a temporary restraining order against Florida’s surgeon general, the latest development in a legal battle over a television ad supporting the state’s abortion rights ballot measure. Earlier this month, the Florida Department of Health sent cease-and-desist letters to multiple broadcast stations that had aired the ad, threatening criminal charges against stations that didn’t stop playing it.
In the lawsuit, the Floridians Protecting Freedom group also sought a preliminary injunction to bar the health department from seeking to further intimidate or threaten TV stations, along with financial and punitive damages from the department for what the plaintiffs considered a violation of their right to free speech.
