Supreme Court Allows Antiabortion Center to Challenge Donor Subpoena
The Supreme Court has unanimously ruled that a chain of faith-based antiabortion pregnancy centers, First Choice Women’s Resource Centers Inc., can challenge a subpoena for its donor information in federal court. The subpoena, issued by New Jersey Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin, is part of an investigation into whether the centers misled clients and donors by suggesting they offered abortion referrals. First Choice argues that the subpoena is an intimidation tactic that violates its First Amendment rights by potentially deterring donors. The case has drawn attention from various advocacy groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union, which, despite differing views on abortion, supports the center's right to challenge the subpoena as it could set a precedent affecting all advocacy groups.
