Advancing American Freedom led a coalition of 68 other amici standing for life and donor privacy at the Supreme Court. In First Choice Women’s Resource Centers v. Platkin, pro-life pregnancy center First Choice Women’s Resource Centers is defending itself and its supporters against a subpoena issued by Matthew Platkin, the Attorney General of New Jersey. Platkin asked a state court to force First Choice to turn over a massive amount of information, including information relating to 5,000 donations. First Choice sued in federal court asserting its First Amendment rights to free speech and free association.
“Pro-life pregnancy centers like First Choice Women’s provide an invaluable service to pregnant women, ensuring that they have the resources that they need to choose life and remain healthy,” said AAF General Counsel J. Marc Wheat. “Private organizations should be able to seek review in federal courts when their First Amendment rights are threatened. We urge the Supreme Court to find that First Choice Women’s can do so in this case.”
