Supreme Court rules 9-0 pregnancy center can challenge New Jersey subpoena for donor information

The Supreme Court unanimously ruled on April 29, 2026, in First Choice Women's Resource Centers v. Davenport that the New Jersey pregnancy center may challenge the subpoena in federal court. Justice Neil Gorsuch held that demands for donor identities burden First Amendment associational rights, tracing precedent to NAACP v. Alabama (1958). Platkin's subpoena sought names, phone numbers, and employment information for donors who gave through multiple channels. (Supreme Court of the United States, Apr. 29, 2026)
