The Supreme Court unanimously backed a challenge to a subpoena issued by New Jersey\u2019s Democratic AG demanding pro-life centers turn over massive amounts of donor records and other documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WASHINGTON, D.C. (LifeSiteNews<\/a>) \u2014 The Supreme Court on Wednesday unanimously backed a group of faith-based pregnancy centers suing New Jersey for trying to force them to turn over massive amounts of donor information and confidential internal documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The justices ruled<\/a> that First Choice Women\u2019s Resource Centers could challenge in federal court New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin\u2019s subpoena demanding donors\u2019 names, phone numbers, addresses, and places of employment, as well as more than 20 other categories of documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sweeping subpoena \u201cdid not explain why the Attorney General sought First Choice\u2019s donor records,\u201d the Supreme Court noted, and did not cite any wrongdoing. It also \u201cwarned twice that failure to comply may render the group liable for contempt of court and other penalties.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Platkin, a strongly pro-abortion Democrat, had issued a \u201cconsumer alert\u201d after the reversal of Roe v. Wade<\/em> in 2022 denouncing pregnancy centers. His office collaborated with Planned Parenthood on the alert, emails later revealed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAn official demand for private donor information is enough to discourage reasonable individuals from associating with a group. It is enough to discourage groups from expressing dissident views,\u201d Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote in the court\u2019s ruling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrom its allegations and declarations, and given our many and longstanding precedents in the area and reasonable inferences about third party behavior, First Choice has established that the Attorney General\u2019s demand for private donor information injures the group\u2019s First Amendment associational rights,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Supreme Court\u2019s decision in First Choice Women\u2019s Resource Centers<\/em> v.<\/em> Platkin <\/em>reverses a lower court ruling declaring that the pro-life centers had to first challenge the subpoena in New Jersey state courts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alliance Defending Freedom is representing First Choice Women\u2019s Resource Centers. The Trump administration had also backed the pregnancy centers in the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
