The Trump administration and pro-life activists hailed the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn a California law that forced pregnancy centers to steer women to abortionists.
The High Court ruled the state burdened the free speech rights of pro-life centers by mandating that they post notices providing pregnant women with information about obtaining abortions. Clarence Thomas and four other Republican-appointed justices said such notices were “government-scripted, speaker-based disclosure requirement … wholly disconnected from the State’s informational interest.”
“One of the state-sponsored services that the licensed notice requires petitioners to advertise is abortion—the very practice that petitioners are devoted to opposing,” the majority said in National Institute of Family and Life Advocates v. Becerra. “The (law) unduly burdens protected speech.”
