A South Dakota federal judge granted a preliminary injunction blocking enforcement of House Bill 1274, a new state law that prohibits advertising and distribution of abortion-related items, ruling it violates First Amendment free speech protections. The ruling came after Mayday Health sued South Dakota officials, arguing the law criminalizes their provision of abortion information and that Section 230 protects them from liability for third-party website links.

Mayday Health sued South Dakota's governor and attorney general to block enforcement of House Bill 1274, which criminalizes advertising abortion pills and restricts the nonprofit's speech. The lawsuit challenges the law's impact on First Amendment rights and follows previous legal disputes between Mayday Health and South Dakota officials over abortion pill information and advertising.
