You May Have Missed This, But A Notorious American Lobby Lost Big In Court
The Supreme Court unanimously ruled in favor of First Choice Women’s Resource Centers in a significant First Amendment case against New Jersey's attorney general. The court found that the state's attempt to obtain donor information from the pro-life organization was an unconstitutional overreach. The decision reinforces protections for free speech and nonprofit donor privacy.
- ▪First Choice Women’s Resource Centers has served pregnant women in New Jersey since 1985 without any public complaints.
- ▪In 2022, New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin subpoenaed donor information from the organization despite no evidence of wrongdoing.
- ▪The Supreme Court ruled unanimously that the state's actions violated the First Amendment.
- ▪This case is seen as part of a broader pattern of government efforts to target pro-life organizations.
- ▪The ruling is compared to NIFLA v. Becerra (2018), where the Court also protected pro-life centers from compelled speech.
