Supreme Court unanimously sides with pregnancy center

(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.

Supreme Court lets faith-based pregnancy centers fight subpoena on First Amendment grounds

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.”

NJ's AG is trying to get the names, etc., of First Choice Women’s Resource Centers' donors. It does not take amazing awareness to realize: 1. The donor will get official and social harassment, the latter after their identities are, wink! wink!, leaked; 2. This will discourage potential donors, due to the prospect of official and social harassment.

I don't see what's controversial about this SCOTUS ruling, even knowing that it will send the likes of DU into conniptions. It means the subpoena can be challenged; it didn't make the subpoena go away. In theory, the Democrat scumbaggery could still prevail (though I don't how likely that is).

It shouldn't be controversial. But Pro-Abortion people and pols knee-jerkingly hate and attack Pro-Life orgs like this.
