SCOTUS Agrees to Hear Appeal from a Faith-based Pregnancy Center

The court ruling occurred in New Jersey

The Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) said Monday it will hear from a faith-based pregnancy center in New Jersey challenging a state investigation into whether it misled people into thinking its services included referrals for abortion.

The justices agreed to consider an appeal from First Choice Women’s Resource Centers, which wants to block a 2023 subpoena from Democratic New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin seeking information about donors, advertisements and medical personnel. It has not yet been served.

SCOTUS agreed to hear the case nearly three years after overturning women's access to abortion as a nationwide right. Since then, most Republican-controlled states have started enforcing new bans or restrictions, and most Democrat-dominated ones have sought to protect abortion rights access.
