Supreme Court Allows Faith-Based Pregnancy Centers to Challenge Subpoena
The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that faith-based crisis pregnancy centers in New Jersey can challenge a subpoena from the state's Democratic attorney general. Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote the opinion, stating that the subpoena burdens the exercise of First Amendment rights. The centers, operated by First Choice Women’s Resource Centers, were investigated for potentially misleading marketing practices. The decision may facilitate challenges to similar subpoenas by both liberal and conservative groups, impacting how state officials can investigate organizations.
