Supreme Court agrees to hear appeal from New Jersey faith-based pregnancy center
The Supreme Court 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 Monday agreed to consider an appeal from First Choice Women’s Resource Centers, which wants to block a subpoena from Democratic New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin seeking information about donors, advertisements and medical personnel. Platkin says First Choice won’t answer questions about its operations. First Choice challenged the subpoena in federal court, but a judge found the case wasn’t far enough along to weigh in. An appeals court agreed. First Choice says it’s looking forward to presenting its case to the Supreme Court.
