The U.S. Supreme Court appears to be leaning in favor of a group of five pro-life pregnancy centers in New Jersey. The justices heard oral arguments in the case pitting Christian-based First Choice Women’s Resource Centers against NJ Attorney General Matthew Platkin.
He subpoenaed First Choice, demanding their donors’ identities and contact information. First Choice refused, maintaining that the information should be kept private. The group’s attorney, Erin Hawley, told the court the true reason behind the subpoena involves a widespread attack on the pro-life movement.
“This is in the context of a hostile attorney general who has issued a consumer alert, urged New Jerseyans to beware of pregnancy centers and assembled a strike force against them,” she said, to which Justice Clarence Thomas asked, “Were there complaints against you that stimulated the subpoena?”
“No, your honor,” Hawley replied. “The attorney general has never identified a single complaint.”
