Dept. of Justice, 144 members of Congress weigh in on behalf of pregnancy help centers

The mounting list of amicus (“friend of the court”) briefs filed with the United Stated Supreme Court on behalf of pro-life pregnancy centers has grown to include amici from the Trump administration’s Department of Justice and from 144 members of the House of Representatives.

The High Court is set to hold oral arguments in National Institute of Family and Life Advocates (NIFLA) v. Becerra later this spring.

At issue is the so-called “Reproductive FACT Act,” passed on a strict party line vote in California in 2015. The law forces “privately funded pro-life pregnancy centers to promote taxpayer-funded abortions, threatening crippling fines for noncompliance,” according to Pregnancy Help News. The law is a blatant infringement of First Amendment freedoms of speech and free exercise of religion.
