Supreme Court Rules Against Democrats Trying To Unmask Crisis Pregnancy Center Donors
The U.S. Supreme Court unanimously ruled that subpoenas seeking donor information from crisis pregnancy centers can violate First Amendment associational rights, even if the information is only disclosed to government officials. The case stemmed from a 2022 subpoena issued by former New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin to First Choice Women’s Resource Centers, demanding donor records. The Court held that such demands could chill free association and are subject to judicial review, regardless of whether enforcement has occurred.
