SCOTUS Rules to Protect Deceptive, Anti-Choice Pregnancy Centers

HeadlineJun 27, 2018

In another important decision Tuesday, the Supreme Court has ruled 5 to 4 that California cannot require so-called crisis pregnancy centers to supply women with information about how to end their pregnancies. The court ruled on behalf of the anti-abortion pregnancy centers on free speech grounds. There are over 2,500 so-called crisis pregnancy centers across the country, including some that are unlicensed. In response to the ruling, the group NARAL Pro-Choice America said, “Fake women’s health centers, with the rest of the well-funded and well-connected anti-choice movement, have been working towards this moment for decades. They have carefully put the pieces together—passing radical and unconstitutional abortion bans, stacking the lower courts—because they are counting on Trump’s Supreme Court to overturn Roe v Wade. Roe is at greater risk than ever before.”
