US EditionFaith-Based Pregnancy Center Asks Supreme Court to Block New Jersey Subpoena
First Choice Women’s Resource Centers argue the subpoena threatens First Amendment rights amid a New Jersey probe into alleged misleading abortion-related counseling.
- On Tuesday, First Choice Women’s Resource Centers will ask the U.S. Supreme Court to review a New Jersey investigation after Attorney General Matthew Platkin subpoenaed donor information.
- Since the 2022 Supreme Court decision, crisis pregnancy centers have risen while Republican-controlled states fund them and Democratic-aligned states investigate alleged client misinformation.
- A federal judge declined to resolve the case because it wasn’t procedurally ready, and state attorneys in New Jersey noted compliance with the subpoena is voluntary while the American Civil Liberties Union joined First Choice Women’s Resource Centers’ free-speech challenge.
- State attorneys warn a favorable ruling would `open the federal courts to a flood of litigation` challenging myriad subpoenas, while First Choice says federal-court access matters when investigators misuse power.
- Aimee Huber, Executive Director of First Choice Women’s Resource Centers, said she hopes the Court will protect facilities like hers, while Erin Hawley warned subpoenas can harm advocacy groups with unpopular points of view.
