The Conservative Cave

(The Center Square) - The U.S. Supreme Court, in a unanimous decision, sided with a nonprofit pregnancy center in a federal lawsuit.

The case, First Choice Women's Resource Centers v. Davenport, focuses on a New Jersey pregnancy center that provides counseling and resources to pregnant women. In 2022, former New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin issued a subpoena seeking personal information of donors who contributed financially to the pregnancy center.

The attorney general accused First Choice of seeking to prevent people from accessing reproductive healthcare by providing "false or misleading" abortion information.

First Choice argued that it was unable to protect the anonymity of its donors if it provided their personally identifiable information. A lower court denied the pregnancy center's claim, on the basis that it did not display reasonable injury.

The justices on the Supreme Court sided with the pregnancy center, ruling that producing a list of clients violates the First Amendment.

"The attorney general's subpoena has caused First Choice to suffer ongoing injury to its First Amendment rights," Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote in the court's unanimous opinion.

The US Supreme Court on Wednesday allowed a group of faith-based “crisis pregnancy centers” in New Jersey to fight a subpoena from the state’s Democratic attorney general.

The decision may make it easier for liberal and conservative groups to challenge similar investigatory subpoenas.

At a time when red and blue states are often pursuing radically different policies on abortion, immigration and LGBTQ rights, the religious nonprofit First Choice Women’s Resource Centers framed its inability to make its case in federal court as a threat to any group that could be targeted by state officials.

Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote the opinion for a unanimous court.

“Since the 1950s, this court has confronted one official de­mand after another like the Attorney General’s,” Gorsuch wrote.

“Over and again, we have held those demands burden the exercise of First Amendment rights. Disputing none of these prece­dents but seeking ways around them, the Attorney General has offered a variety of arguments. Some are old, some are new, but none succeeds.”

The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled against a Colorado law preventing therapists from talking with children to help them reject transgender ideology, deeming such therapy protected speech under the Constitution.

Fox News chief legal correspondent Shannon Bream confirmed the court ruling in favor of helping children with gender dysphoria overcome that mental illness, an eight-to-one decision. Justice Ketanji Brien Jackson, arguably the biggest catastrophe ever to happen to the Supreme Court, was alone in claiming that preventing Colorado from demanding therapists encourage transgender mental illness was a threat to kids’ health and well-being.
...
Regarding the first ruling, Bream said, “Therapists out there in Colorado challenged this law when it was passed, saying, ‘I need to be able to counsel clients for whatever services they're seeking.’ So the court looked at this, finally decided eight to one in her favor, striking down that law in Colorado.”

She read from the majority decision that said the Colorado law is “censoring speech based on viewpoints” and “the First Amendment stands as a shield against any effort to enforce orthodoxy in thought or speech in this country."

Easy.

The proof is undeniable!
