Supreme Court sides with crisis pregnancy centers in subpoena battle

The Supreme Court handed a win to anti-abortion advocates Friday, ruling that crisis pregnancy centers can go to federal court to try to block a state subpoena tied to a probe of the centers’ fundraising practices.

The unanimous ruling doesn’t immediately shut down the investigation by the New Jersey attorney general’s office, but it means the centers will soon get a chance to argue to a federal judge that the state’s demand for fundraising-related records going back a decade intrudes on the centers’ First Amendment rights.

“An official demand for private donor information is enough to discourage reasonable individuals from associating with a group. It is enough to discourage groups from expressing dissident views,” Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote for the court in upholding the centers’ right to take the dispute to federal court now.
