SCOTUS unanimously affirms
pro-life pregnancy center’s
claim against New Jersey
WASHINGTON (BP) — A Christian pro-life pregnancy resource center can fight in federal court the state of New Jersey’s order to submit a broad spectrum of documents including the identity of financial donors, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled unanimously April 29th. The case came to the high court after New Jersey successfully blocked First Choice Women’s Resource Centers, Inc. from challenging in federal court the state’s 2022 subpoena of 28 categories of documents. Subpoenaed among other information, and which the high court said was most pertinent to the court case, were donors’ names, phone numbers, addresses and places of employment. The release of such donor information would violate their First Amendment right to freely associate, the centers said in the lawsuit, and would discourage potential donors from giving. The High Court agreed with the centers, reversing a lower court decision that favored the New Jersey attorney general’s contention that the centers had no standing to sue.
