US EditionSupreme Court agrees to hear appeal from New Jersey faith-based pregnancy center
- On June 23, 2025, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear an appeal from First Choice Women’s Resource Centers, a New Jersey faith-based pregnancy center, challenging a state investigation into its practices.
- The appeal involves a 2023 subpoena issued by the New Jersey state’s top legal official, which requests records related to donors, advertising, and staff as part of an investigation into claims that the center provided misleading information to women about abortion services.
- First Choice, represented by Alliance Defending Freedom, contends the subpoena violates its First Amendment rights by chilling free speech and association, while the state asserts the subpoena is lawful and unchallenged in state court.
- A lower court dismissed First Choice’s federal suit as premature, requiring it to first contest the subpoena in state court, and the Supreme Court will decide whether the group can seek federal relief before state enforcement.
- This case will test federal jurisdiction limits over state investigations of crisis pregnancy centers and the balance between state regulatory authority and constitutional protections.
