'Major Victory for the Pro-life World:' Court Upholds Pregnancy Center's First Amendment Rights

Patrick Delaney : Mar 1, 2023  LifeSiteNews.com

"Evergreen's constitutional right to expressive association allows it to determine that its pro-life views can be conveyed only by those who completely support and affirm the organization's mission, in both word and deed." -Thomas More Society special counsel Timothy Belz
